From talking with some of them, they are having to do that to make money. As one of them put it, "you dont make money while waiting for other players."
From the tables that I have played at since the Neteller pullout, I think they have gotten tougher due to the lack of easy money at the tables. At the lower tables, I have always felt that you make money from others mistakes, not your good/fancy play (getting freerolls, having them draw for half, etc). It doesn't seem like those situations are happening as much.
This may just be my impression, but it also might be reality also. Due to the time frame that I play, I feel that I am facing tougher competition than I would if I played at night. I believe that I face a higher percentage of online pros/solid players than the average 9-5er who plays at night and weekends.
In summary from my perspective, it has toughened up significiantly. The good players who want to get their money out there will setup other methods to do so. The bad players who are gambling/learning will go broke and not have an easy reload method and therefore will take their entertainment dollars elsewhere.
