Rage Quit

I am curious how many people will rage quit after this patch is released due to possibly not meeting player standards for all of this wait. Does anyone thing there will be a severe server drop? Thoughts please.

Probably, I'm going to quit if it sucks.

eh, who cares? There's 20 threads for everything around here.

I'm gonna take it as a true gamer =)

I won't quit...but I'll stop logging in once a day and change it to around once a week until things get to where they need to be. 1.18 was promised to be a "good" patch. Let's see what their idea of "good" is.

Nah, me likes it.

I am just excited to see how many angry threads are gonna, or might pop up with foul language and rants of rage. How many of the people we see posting might be banned. Mods must be practicing their ban hammer strikes at this very moment.

It will certainly be entertaining at the very least.

Well I suppose it depends how people choose to word their statements. I highly doubt that SE would introduce a forum and not expect people to express opinions, however, there is little reason for some folks to be a blatant asshat too. Yet still it happens... lol

I'm kind of hoping it fails because I'm going to write a very long and lolzworthy farewell if it does.

Well I am on the west coast, so it is almost 4 pm here. and it is almost 8 am in Tokyo.. So hopefully I will get some good patch notes or alot of humorous forum browsing before bed :D Either way.. it feels like the night before Christmas for a 5 year old :)

That day I'll be reading the forums with this song on dancing at rhythm while I test the new Battle System (hopefully) =)

I'm going to Rage-STAY just to make a point.

Not sure what point exactly...

I'll rage quit for a bit, then get interested again when they release 1.19

Can't really 'quit' a free game can you?

They post the letters at like 3a.m. for you

I won't quit. I'll just play less than I do now (which is almost not at all).

I'm monitoring the game. Not playing it.

Christmas doesn't always = Happiness

We still can't jump, No mounts, No AH which are all common MMO features. What can you expect from this game? It doesn't even has potential.

Its free. so I'll be around.

Amma rage quit anyway, then come back, it wouldnt be a final fantasy mmo if you said your going to quit and didnt come back.

I did that with XI a few times. never came back again to check out the 2nd expansion though.

No can please a cynic. No matter how much was fixed it getting fixed or they adding ppl will complain. People are acting like ffxiv is a multi-user single player game. And not an mmo. SE hasn't done anything differ then what most company do with an mmo. MMo are always updated tweaked and added too. There is no "final straw" patch. Most people today do not "get itr" when it comes to mmo. They burn through content and play them like co-op single player games. MMo are not about getting everything done as fast as possible, it is about enjoying a game with others meeting people and doing w/e. MMo are about replayability not "beating the game" it is about enjoying the game OVER TIME.

If people rage quit, they never enjoyed the game and maybe have the expectation bar set to high. To me it isn't ffxiv that has the issue, its the players. What SE is doing now is something they will always be doing. They just choose to do these tweaks now vs later.

And be4 you say I do not know what I'm talking about I played 30 mmo

You're like a freaking broken record. Either come up with something new to say or go /wrist in a tub somewhere. I'm tired of your crap.

---

yeh!! lets tell people to stfu and insult and get the thread locked, great fan! XD

mounts are coming? are we talking about 1.18?

If you're going to rage quit due to no jump or (auuuugh hate this term) 'Mounts' please go, seriously. You're an annoyance.

Lol, implying that mmos=life and that's how they should be played XD

Ah, I see why you think that way now.

Please don't rage at me and get banned again, kthxbai

Possibly, but then again there probably aren't that many people left playing this game to begin with...

This is what we will see after 1.18

1) Patch 1.18 failed.. it is not enough like FFXI's dungeons too much like WoW
2) Patch 1.18 failed.. it is not casual enough
3) Patch 1.18 failed.. it is just too far off from mainstream (not enough like wow)
4) Patch 1.18 failed.. they promised us 3 expansions worth of content and only gave us half of one.

Each one with a page long rage quit post....

I can see it being a failure.. but I still have high hopes.. I dunno if I will quit because I really don't play anymore as it is. There are alot of other games coming out so it is just a matter of where I want to spend my time. I am hoping that this game pulls through. I have been a fan of Squaresoft for a long time. After Sakaguchi left, well it just doesn't feel the same anymore. So hopefully this game renews my respect for SE. Hoping..

I think Kilta_Firelotus is an internet handle for Hiromichi Tanaka.

yeah it seems people wanted a fun game with stuff to do and content to enjoy. how dare they? how dare people expect a game to be fun? since when did people stop playing things if they didn't enjoy them?

yep. those were too high of expectations at this point.

i still play the game so i see some good in it, but remember we are in the very small minority so the problem may be with us since the majority think the game is bad.

may i ask with your mass knowledge of this game what content there is to burn through? if you say rushing a class to 50 i am going to laugh so hard since i know people that play maybe 2 hours a day with multiple 50's already.

XIV will sit on my hard drive unused until it's fixed or they can the project. Not much else to say.

I disappoint quit months ago. Now it's just a matter of whether I'm going to come back or not.

Depends how much they change, I am in the minority of keeping the current system and fixing the broken stuff. If they mess too much with what I do enjoy in the game, I'll likely move on.

Oh we all know some people will look for a reason for it to be considered bad. Though I'm sure some people will be legitimately upset because it wasn't exactly what they where thinking.
You can't please everyone because some people just don't want to be pleased.

If it blows, I'll play when I have time and nothing else to do.

If it's fun, I'll find time to play it, even moving around other free time activities. ^^

Either way, I'll stick around. The last thing this game needs is a sudden rush exodus of active people (read - Extended Beta Testers). I have all the faith in the world that this game will be amazing if we have confidence, and let them know there is still viable interest and a market for this game. If in the midst of a repair, everyone leaves, there's not much use patching up a game nobody seems to even be willing to play for free.

It's not killing us to play. And if it is, luckily, there's no legal obligations to play XIV, and you're very much welcome to try another game, and come back whenever or if ever you feel like trying XIV again.
As someone else said previously...

Can you really quit, if it's free?
