I stopped using Gox long ago because of the fiat withdrawal issues. Their reign as the king of the Bitcoin markets boggles my mind. Like Bitinstant, somehow the fact that they were among the first in this space has engendered undying loyalty in the face of outrageous problems that would be instant business killers for any site other than themselves. It's a fascinating study in brand loyalty, but is also ultimately hurtful to the Bitcoin community. Customer acceptance of Gox's mediocrity will only ensure that these and even more egregious issues continue to occur.
