I'm not about to accept the insult of a 5% fee. The $5k wire of mine that Mt. Gox has been sitting on for more than a quarter was never more than I could easily lose, but as the price rises, it's now even more just chump-change. Unless we have a significant and permanent collapse it looks like I'll have the resources and time to pursue various projects, and having Mt. Gox owe me the $5k via questionable business practices could pop up as something useful.
I'll always be happy to accept BTC instead of this fiat dept which they cannot or will not honor, but only as long as my last trade (where all of my fiat originated) is rolled back.
When did you make the withdraw, would be nice if you just let it linger until it finally is processed so we know when/if there ever is an improvement on usd transfers.
The queue being reduced to half for euro sepa gives me hope for mtgox.
