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

[Unleashhell]

You seem to meet the criteria...



You do realize that this thread is not a thread about the game shutting down don't you, professor? If you take the time and read my ENTIRE original post, and the 13 pages that follow, you should get an understanding of the thread's purpose.

Oh, I also want to point out if 10 people leave, and only 8 come back, you're still losing people, and the thread keeps it's relevance. Lurn2math.

Criteria eh? I still do not see an answer the question professor.

Also the following line to your example that you took out of my post, I never said the player base wasn't loosing people. Lurn2read the next line of that paragraph and you will see what I said. I said "So even if the numbers dwindle down over time its no big deal."


How about just quit and save everyone the trouble of your crying bitching and complaining so the rest of the player base can actually get on these forums and stop seeing all the "I'm quitting and here's why" threads. For the small amount of people that actually use this forum compared to the total number of subscribers I'm sure its a minimal percentage. Your not going to make SE change anything with constant bashing of the dev team. Blame whoever you guys want to blame so you all can sleep better at night. It still will not change the fact that SE is in control of the game. They will move the game in THEIR direction not yours. You pay to play their game. It is not our game. They own the rights to the game, the servers we play on, and ALL the content on those servers. you basically rent a virtual world when you pay every month.

When this forum was first introduced there were TONS of people that posted lots of ideas. Some of those ideas were actually put into play. Others were straight up stupid. Instead of all these "I'm quitting" threads and "The dev team doesn't know what they are doing" threads, how about making a "Whats good about FFXI" thread and get people to actually give positive feedback, instead of all this bashing of the dev team. You guys make all these posts about let the replies be constructive, but sit there and bash the dev team? Bashing is constructive? How?

There is more then one way to inform the dev team about disagreeing with decisions they make. Bashing isn't the answer. Instead of just rage posting on here you guys should learn to sit back and take a couple days and make a logical post with good statements on how to improve the game. But no everyone wants to just say the devs don't listen to us. Well guess what, its up to the forum team to feed over the information they seem fit to send over. Try making a non-rage post with good solid facts and positive ideas with non bashing of the dev team and maybe you will have a better chance of getting feedback.

I'm not sure if it was the OP's intention, but a thread demonstrating to SE the reasons behind people leaving the game could be beneficial if they actually read it. They don't currently ask why people leave, or even notice for all I know. I think most people don't cancel. They just stop paying, so a thread like this albeit a little grim, and completely unasked for does actually provide some useful info.

That was exactly the intention, Frank.

blah blah blah diarreah of the mouth.

I like how Unleash says this isn't our game...Yea the hell right. We may not make the game, but we keep it alive by PLAYING it. They made it FOR US TO PLAY, so in turn we WOULD play and THEY would make...MONEEEYY!!! Once the costs for SE start to outweigh the revenue, then you tell me who's game it is.

How much of a fool are you to think a business should not take in to consideration the opinions of thier customers. I hope you work for someone for a living because you will never be able to survive running your own business. "I know I messed a lot of shit up and you're unhappy, Mr. Customer, but I demand you tell me what you like about my service." You'd get punched in the mouth. Unhappy customers don't normally solicit an opinion that paints a rosey picture.

Furthermore, people DO make some very constructive posts here, but it seems you just perceive this as "bashing the development team." Wrong. (SIDEBAR: I also think it was hilarious that we can 'bash the devs' but you can blatantly bash the disgruntled player base lulz). The amount of threads that say "ZOMG TANAKA AND THE DEV TEAM SUX WTF" are minimal at best. I see a ton of "I don't like that you did *this* and here is why." That's the ENTIRE point of the thread. People have been asking for change for a very long time. When these boards were first introduced, player feedback was valued and acted upon. Doesn't seem that way anymore--something has changed (I wonder what THAT could be...). Now change is not happening, now people are leaving.

So therefore, if they intend on quitting, think of this as an exit interview. Believe it or not, its a common business practice to ASK your customers, or for employers to ask quitting employees, why they are leaving. If the feedback is good, or indfferent like, "Oh I don't have time to play anymore," so be it. But if they're leaving as a result of being unhappy due to poor decisions, then they're going to have to hear that too.

I'm an little emo kid

Well fyi, I don't see as much wrong with the game as you do. Instead of being an little emo childish prick that has to go out and attack people cause they don't agree with you is very childish. Grow up dude, sitting behind a computer acting tough posting on boards just shows everyone one these boards how immature you are. At least the boards will have less crybabies on it when you leave.

Here you go I found this link just for you.

If you're going to edit your posts, fix your typos...and while you're at it, just what the hell does that sentence in bold mean?

And I wasn't aware I was acting tough. Also wasn't aware I was emo OR a kid. Plus if I am immature what does that make you, hm? If that was me being tough then you must be one weak individual.

Here you go, I found this link for you.
