The $2.99 is no longer worth the services provided (if it ever was.) Specific reasons:
1. The functionality of the website is worse than it was before the recent update.
2. Leaderboard stats aren't being updated for weeks at a time - it still shows me as being level 64 even though I'm level 70 now. This didn't used to be a problem.
3. The search functions are awful, for the items in particular. The in-game broker search is an example of how things should be done.
4. No communication on when we can expect fixes. Making this service functional doesn't appear to be a priority to SOE, so paying for it is no longer a priority for me.
I wouldn't say I'm terribly demanding, but enough is enough. EQ2Players has been nearly useless for a couple of months now. My $2.99 would be better served buying me a burger and fries.
