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

[Kimble]

As I said before...

I love how ppl who play xi will not admit xiv may have some merit or a future, even if they do not currently or have ever played the game. Its the old ffxi vs WoW thing all over again lol.

And to top it off if there is a review that speaks of how the game is improving or may have a future its poopoo'd immediately.

Its just silly

Ends convo here ^^

I love how ppl who play xiv will not admit that people who have played xi and has dealt with how bad SE's communication can be and how they fail to implement content, might just not want to deal with SE's MMOs anymore.

And to top it off if there is a review that speaks of how the game is improving but still has a lot of flaws and over a year away from a relaunch and release on ps3.

Its just silly

What you are saying is just dumb because people are like "im done with SE and don't really want to even bother with XIV" and you are basically going "lol, no, you guys are ALL lying, I KNOW you will all be playing XIV" when that simply isnt true.

If I quit it's cuz

1. No more friend to play with.
2. Dev team still choose easy way to develop game.
3. Mr T. way come before player base.

And I really wonder why ppl keep flamming on ppl who try to suggest how game developing. I really think ppl who complain about it is show how their like it. (No matter how silly or brillent idea they suggest) It's easy that just play and fun what SE give, and quit when you boring. But only ppl who really love it will sugggest will complain how game must go on. So stop use easy ways say "If you not like it just stop play" It's always choice form start, just good player not choose until it's no more choice.

Please Dev Team, stop thinking this complain is just a ignorable idea. It's was reflex form ppl who love this game. not just play this game for a while for fun. One day if these ppl choose the last choice you will only have ppl who like to enjoy a bit in some time and can quit any time to replace them.

how about this. if you dont like it. quit. SE is not going to listen because people complain. it is a video game. they realize they cannot please everyone. if i were the dev. team, i wouldnt be listening to people that cuss me out and tell me i am doing it wrong either. you really think they are going to listen to a bunch of raging nut jobs posting a bulletin. news flash, your a moron. they have plenty of other successful games. this game is basically just a cash cow for them. so no they are not losing money. in all honesty, if they were losing money, they would have shut down the game by now. i am tired of people posting that they are quitting. if you are going to quit, do yourself and everyone else a favor. stfu and quit.

Well, My hubby and I have stopped payment, We are going out of town. But when we come back there is very little left for us to do.

We haven't played more then 5 days between LB 90 cap and LB 95 cap
Logged on got 95 LB items 1st day back.
Took 5 jobs from 90 to 95 in 2 day.
At that rate, I could likely finish getting all my jobs to 99 in a week maybe 2 tops after breaking cap.
Failed at 95 LB 2 times so far.. last try got NM to like 1-2% dia didn't kill it however.

All Missions done but WoTG only 10 or so then My hubby and I are done that too.
Only about 60 Quest pre 75 left to do then every quest in the game will be done.
Reason for getting God gear is to be able to do story with ease.
At level 95 all the 75 level story is already on easy mode. Post 75 no new stories added.

Current reason to get better gear is only to get better gear. Seem pointless without giving something to look forward too.



I recall taking 5 weeks of my static fighting Aht 44 missions before we finally got win...back with a 75 level cap.
I recall raising then raising Prishe and dieing a second later only to have Prishe finish fight with a wipe and get win.
I recall my 1st job at level 75 meaning something because it took time to do.
I recall So many thing that made me feel good and like I got something done, a pay off for my effort.

Now I just go threw the motions with nothing really to look forward to..

Things I would need to stay interested in FFXI, Another full expansions, honestly with Level caps, that can be done with 4 people casual players nothing to hard but not sol able. Max of one Battle field Mission per Conquest week with about 30 or so Battle field missions. And 3-4 Side quest to do on your own time or LS well waiting for Next conquest week, these side quest could be a CS, or gathering, or even a delivery quest. I would gladly pay $39.95 for this, and more importantly would keep me playing for another 30+ weeks.

No they don't. They are starting to feel the pain and when the reviewers of IGN and other game site and mags review 2.0 the first thing they will bring up is the 2 years of beta testing, then the sevrer merges and how they treat the other MMO they run. They are lossing ground every where for any FF title to not break a mil in its first weak is a bad sign. Sorry but they will listen either now or when people stop buying their crap on name alone.

[mattkoko]

my point is, they probably wont listen when people are cussing them out. everyone wants everything and they expect everything to be fixed over night. its just not going to happen. and people cussing them out is not going to help matters. after a while you just stop listen to bitching lol

[Doombringer]

When it comes to gamers.....yes

All they have to do it wave an exciting title around that gets some positive reviews and ppl will buy it, regardless

for what it's worth... activision has not gotten 1 penny out of me since modern warfare 2. not ALL gamers are retarded lemmings. some of us DO vote with our dollars, so to speak.

I would love to know what % of XIV accounts will go inactive when they start charging for it. That begins on Jan 1st? Maybe that will be an eye opener for them. Honestly I don't wish failure on XIV. I just hate that they thought loyal XI fans would be muscled over to that title. Even if it had launched without any issues I had no intention of walking away from 8 years of hard labor on XI. So I could start from scratch just to get some fancy graphics? Not top on my list of wants. Give me some content, and storylines. A true challenge, and not some epic magian trial grind BS. An expansion with new zones, and a new open end game area like Sky/Sea without time constraint crap. That's all I need to be happy with XI.

Could XIV turn a profit at some point down the road? Possible. Am I willing to invest my free time into a product that choked, stuttered, and wheezed it's it's way out of the gate? A title that won't even live up to the hype of what it should have been opening day until XIV 2.0 rolls around in Dec 2012. In today's MMO market with ever increasing contention for MMO players to fill existing titles, with several monster titles on the way my decision is clear. No way.

Just such a shame that XI has to suffer when a modest investment into it's development would have kept it's user base content while keeping them open towards XIV, because they were happy. How can an error that blatant go unseen?

[Kimble]

Really, FFXI's development started to die in late 2007 sadly.
