when im really into the game (which doesnt really happen anymore, but i can still remember those days clearly :), that break REALLY can be frustration. but when you arent that into it, even if you are pretty well enjoying things, the break can be kind of nice. i used to be all for getting rid of it, but now, im all for keeping it - the best way to sum up why, is that saying, absence makes the heart grow fonder. i feel like without any breaks, it would be easier to get burnt out - but that little short random 1 day break, it seems to help keep enthusiasm and appreciation for game going strong. it always helped me get over the little things, that 1 day break - it would help me remember how much i like the game in the greater context, despite all the little things that can drive you nuts :)
