When people choose to leave they are given likes because people agree with their reasons, some even with they could quit for the same reasons, I am one of those people even, but I have to many friends I care about on this game, I stay to talk to them and so we can do things together. I agree with people who have problems with SE's service and the game, I have many of the same problems and have said something about them at some point, but I myself will not leave for those reasons alone, so for now I simply agree with others who share the views on it I do, and voice my problems continuously.

Basically, people like these posts I think because they agree with the reasons for leaving, not necessarily that they are applauding the person who is breaking their chains from the addictive game and finally escaping the prison. Also, its done because people are actually leaving to show their anger and disappointment, which not everyone is willing to do, even if I myself am not willing to leave the game because of the problems I have, others are, and they impact SE more than I do. Its kinda like how people will agree with a martyr even if they themselves are not willing to put their life on the line for the same cause, in this case, we agree with these martyrs, but we are not willing to leave this game to make that stand.
martyrs.......... That word....

They're ceasing to play a game they don't enjoy, not sacrificing everything they have for a cause they believe deeply in. If this were a board game, these are the types of people who tableflip when things don't go the way they want. Or at the very least, storm out of the room muttering angrily.
