We all heard a lot of hassle about Mtgox's withdraw troubles.I read in Mtgox blog that they are adding more staff to process the wire orders quickly.Are they getting better now a days?
The timeframe for USD withdrawal processing is still roughly three months. They will expedite it to one month for you if you pay a 5% fee.So to answer your question: No. They added new deposit methods for us, no new withdrawal options.
Do you have a link for this information about 3 months and 5%?
The three months part is posted all over this board and others. It is not something new. I had a withdrawal pending from July until November, at which point I asked about that 5% offer which I heard about on forums, and they confirmed it with me. Most with USD withdrawals pending get fed up after a few months, cancel their withdrawals, rebuy the coins at a loss, and sell it elsewhere. Hence the $100 price difference between Gox and exchangers who actually process USD withdrawals.
Here's a thread with 137 pages, which was for gathering withdrawal delay complaints: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mtgox-withdrawal-delays-gathering-179586
