The OFFICIAL "I intend on Quitting, and here is why" Thread

So you don't need to be a rocket surgeon to know that the player base is shrinking, and frustrations with the dev team are rising.

I love how authoritatively people state this, despite having no access to SquareEnix's subscription numbers.

And how they've done this exactly for the entire lifespan of the game.

Because frustrated players are so arrogant that they believe their frustration extends to everyone.

Well, from the amount of angry posters across all forums, its not really so out there that its happening.

Usually, people who are content will not openly voice their opinion about how happy they are. Nobody marches on Washington holding signs that say "Everything is fine!" It's really not a fair indicator of the health of the game. You can't authoritatively say "the game is dying" without actual subscription numbers.

I guess you could point to recent server merges, but those were happening while Abyssea was in full swing, the supposed revival that saved the fledgling game.

And let's not forget that people have been saying "the game is dying because of X, Y, and Z" (X, Y, and Z being whatever came out in the most recent updates), since 2005. Yet the game continues. Odd.

there is a simple way to know that the player base is shrinking your server gets shut down and you get moved to another server
