Why I stopped paying for FFXIV

[Mettaur]

NO offense to you personally, but why are we constantly subjected to the why I am quitting threads? Do you want us to fix your latency issues? How are you playing the game? What is your internet connection speed? Are you wired in or wireless? Personally, I am on a PS3 currently, on a not very fast DSL connection, and have 0 issues with latency. I mean, there is once and a while a server lag spike, but that is expected.

Going to sound like a dick here, but if you don't want to see these threads, ignore them and move on.

I actually asked real questions that could actually lead to real solutions. If you read past my first sentence, you would actually know this.

I never said you didn't and I did read your entire post. Please do not assume things.

I agree with this. Forums aren't there for people to be all hand holding and spreading fuffy butterflies everywhere. They are for discussing things, good or negative (mostly negative). Has been ever since forums existed in ancient times. Lol. I guess a few people don't understand what forum means.

I'll do one better: A possible response to these threads. Just replace every mention of WoW and Mists of Pandaria with FFXIV, and pretend the "Sad Quitting WoW Peon" is a "Sad Quitting FFXIV Roegadyn".

LOL THIS...so much this.

that video perfectly explains how the general consensus on "i quit and here is my life story" thread. in the end of the day, you quitting isnt that important. next week after this thread is locked and stash away, no one will remember the OP. if lag is such a huge issue that you have to unsub, then do it and just go. SE is aware that the server are lagging quite hard. i sure they are more aware of what is the actual issue than you are.

the only people that actually care about what you are saying is those with their own personal gripes with the game and want to your thread as a proxy to express their views.even then OP, they dont care about YOU, they care about having a way to make a complaint.

Why do we need "I quit" threads? what purpose do they really serve? SE can clearly see that 1 person hasn't paid when their subs decrease by 1.

Again: To let them know "why".

Now, I'm not a business expert by any means. But if I was in charge of a company, understanding why someone wasn't paying would be something I would want to know.

you are right sir. In fact, companies dish out billions every year to hear what their customers are saying. Its called Market Research. These forums are a cost effective way for SE to track and analyze the trends and opinions of its customers.
They are also a cost effective microphone for SE, but have no doubt, these forums primary purpose is to manage customer satisfaction.

SE, like any company, hates it when they feel their service is being complained about. But they would NEVER ask people to not share it with THEM.
Its actually the people that have nothing to add or complain about these threads that need to just ignore them and keep silent if they have nothing to say. If they like the game, trust me, their silence and subscriptions are making the statement.
Keep posting the why I quit threads.
