2010 Lost-Status Pity Party
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, former Platinums, Golds and Silvers everywhere...I hereby give you the official...
2010 LOST-STATUS PITY PARTY!
Let the commiserating begin!
Hello. My name is RNE. I am a recovering EQMaholic. I was Silver for two years, Platinum for two and Gold for one. Now...(sniff)...I'm nothing.
How far did YOU fall? Share your woeful tale below.

Sorry, with two rounds of DEQM last year, I went from Gold to Plat, but I do like a good party!

I was a Silver for one year, a Gold for two years, and now I'm back to Silver. And this year's Silver status was due to DEQM!

I've lost status and sanity since starting grad school nearly two years ago. I graduate with my MBA on April 30th, and eagerly look forward to having some metal associated with my name once again.

Perhaps the statuesque Mrs. RNE could convince Scott to extend your status somehow.

Questions : Does CO unceremoniously dump you...
From Plat to Silver, if that was the level of flying you did...or they "ease" you into Gold ? 
With 2 rounds of DEQM, it's pretty hard not to quality for Plat. I even ventured out to try UA in 2009 and got 1K ( to get the 6 SUWs ).

CO does not "ease" you to a lower lever. You fall HARD and FAST.

Gold -> Silver. Just about to walk the 'trail of tears' to the shredder and destroy my now-expired Gold Elite card.

Those of us who barely qualify for iron ore know this pain.
