Gox will never change , but until the big money will go to stamp or ... another exchange , gox is the place were the action unfolds.
Only daytraders wanting increase BTC stack are at MtGox.
It is exchange where daytraders cannot enjoy their hard earned USD 
What do you mean by this?
It is just play USD, not real USD when you can not withdraw it and enjoy buying things you like...
There are plenty of euros there , and other currencies.
You can still withdraw euros and yens if you have a bank account.
Also , big players are not affected by this issue , at least rumors say so.
