All that money, a sure fire win IP... and *BOOM* (flames). So sometimes it can go either way. But as you said, we will hang here for a bit before we move on.
I am an avid player of SE games, but I don't have the patience to wait anymore to this one to get good (I never wanted a complete reboot, just a fix and balance of 1.0 (no, not 1.23, or 1.19, when I say 1.0 I mean 1.0)).

I've already canceled my sub 2 weeks ago and haven't logged in since. I still have urges, but only when I'm nostalgic for 1.0 or XI, not for this ARR game. I've thought several times about making a long forum post explaining the reasons of my quitting, but no one cares, and I've already told the devs enough times my opinions since the 1.0 beta, and neither back then nor now with ARR I've seen ANY of my concerns addressed, and this game is no longer one I want to play.

I had way more fun in 1.0 (the initial release, Tanaka's game), than what I had with ARR, and 1.23 was great but only for the story and that excitement of taking part in a losing battle, and even though, trying our best, still I missed all that Tanaka wanted to create from and with this game.
