Anyone who gets bent out of shape because they didn't pay for a paid game for months and their stuff decayed is too stupid to be worth the effort of worrying about, IMHO.
People who continue paying but don't log in to maintain their empire have a bit more cause for complaint, but it really doesn't take much to keep everything going. Even if you want everything maxed out, you only have to log in every two weeks to hail your fleet and keep the capital happy. If you have some morale surplus and trust the stability of your cities, you can log in even less frequently (monthly, or even bi-monthly). It's really not a big deal. If somebody can't even keep up with that, then they have no business running an empire.
And of course, all of the above is assuming a single-person empire, or a group empire where the whole group takes a break at the same time.
