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

[Anewie]

Complaining about complaining is just ....... more complaining.......

Correction: it's more of an unbiased observation. I specifically said I am not above it. There's not any gripe in my post about people complaining. If you see it that way, well you just misunderstand.

I do not care, one tiny little bit about someone who wants to gripe about something. I only care about things that effect me. Although, that won't stop me from commenting on it in my free time. My opinions and input aren't really anymore important than anyone elses. The difference is, I know that.

On the XIV forums, at least last time I checked, its a totally different environment. I remember reading several threads that were positive and friendly. On here, it's basically a bunch of catty, delusional, hypocritical, biased pressed players either throwing tantrums or calling names.. AT THE PEOPLE THEY want to listen to them. I'm not above it, but you will never again see me making threads attacking devs or people for not sharing my opinion.

The thing about the XIV forums is they treat any negative feedback (at all) as a direct attack on the devs. (both mods and other players)

Here people are actually way less hateful towards one another (in terms of attacking people for their viewpoints) and I don't think I've ever gotten a ban - but I got bans in the XIV forum because I didn't like changes to magic users.

I don't go to forums to see a mystical happy land where people take turns praising the game I play. I go to them to express my views on the direction of the game and to discuss game mechanics in a hard nosed way with other players (as well as help people, I like answering questions)

I don't like it when people accuse the people posting in these forums of bad behavior because they are trying to communicate serious problems to the development team.

I will give XIV some kudos if only for the way that Yoshi communicates with the XIV playerbase - part of the reason people have gotten so hostile here is because they don't really get the same kind of interaction.

I work in public relations. I know what a tough thing it is when you have to just relay what you are told to say, even when you fully disagree with it. I've been at the front lines of defending policies and decisions I don't believe in so I have a lot of respect for the moderators who sift through these threads.

But those of us trying to point out things that should be fixed with this game are not doing so out of malice or disrespect. We actually like the game and want to keep playing it - for myself, however, it became a point of pride to withhold my subscription, because I know for what we are paying, we deserve more than naked time sinks and excuses about the difficulty of improving the game.

That's not negativity - that's realism. If SE wants to make clink-clink they need to adjust to the times and provide what their subscribers are looking for.

The truth

Yup. Now if only they used the feedback.

In Tanaka's defense bringing every DD up to WAR standards would completely break this game, a game already made easy as piss with the majority of content having been designed for level 75s.

Everyone hitting 6k on mobs with a WS? Might as well give out brews with Conquest Points.

His fault is that he nerfed WAR/MNK and didn't bring something else to the table to compensate for the changes. He could explain himself but I imagine at this point Tanaka would be better off with actions rather than rambling about how Ukkos needed to be brought down a few pegs.

The 'nerf' wouldn't be taken so poorly if it came bearing gifts.

If it wasn't for proc in VW it would just be throw more sams at it. It a simple fact Sam has been the hardest job to mess up for a long time. In abyssea if it wasn't for proc and the crit hit atmas they would had been the same as it always was. Taking a chance on a sam being gimp was easier to work with if they were then any other job.

My bad you said this in the troll's thread. Still stands he is a symtom of a larger problem at SE.

Add each other to your ignore list before the mods use your spat as an excuse to lock this thread.

BUMP!! Quitting because I'm sick of being angry/annoyed by dumb decisions made by the dev team. The on specifically that pushed me over the edge is the requirement for level 99 stage 1 relics and mythics.

Since this been bumped, I am too letting subscription lapse at the end of the month. Being blocked in progressing storylines is pretty much it for me. I didn't even bother uncapping, population is going down. Was a nice run. To all of those I had the pleasure of knowing in this game, if you read this, thank you for the memories.

One of the last two friends I had on this game has permanently cancelled to play SWTOR (first time in 7 years), and well guess this quote from Episode V is appropriate: "I'll meet you at the rendez-vous point on Tatooine."

"An onion dagger!? wtf is this crap?"

But seriously, pretty much everyone I know has quit and come back more than once, myself included. It's been like this since I started back in '04. I don't expect it to change. A new MMO just came out and it's shiny. When it's no longer new, watch the influx come roaring back, like every other time.

[Kimble]

Most people most likely wont be back after the stuff they have been doing since 95 cap.
