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

[Dazusu]

Because killing kirin for the 100th time was so much better or killing the same crabs bettles and little pink birds over and over for 75 levels. Also Ultima never needed a full LS you didn't need 18 people for 90% of the old content. But hey if you think your hardcore love grinds go play EVE and see how hardcore you are.

Captain Casual is out doing his rounds again, I see.

I dunno about you but I don't want people to quit FFXI at all, that's half the reason people complain so much.

All the negativity floating around on these forums is doing nothing for player morale. Nothing for new players, and ultimately nothing for the game. In fact, these forums are probably the worst idea SE have ever had for their community. The amount of poor changes that have materialised due to posts on this forum is astounding (and that's not to say there haven't been any good ones, because there have).

But right now, the only purpose this forum serves if for people to whine about how they want the game easier modified to fit their play style while completely disregarding everyone else's. A lot of people post ideas for changes which could turn this game into an almost co-operative RPG (Play with 4 friends over a network!) and god forbid the mention that new content requires more than 3 people, or takes more than one attempt to get decent gear out of everyone is up in arms.

At this point the RL card comes out (like we don't all have a real life, a job and a family).

It's all about instant gratification. Not much else.
