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

[Originalkord]

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.
