What cause players to quit Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

[samnas]

Hopefully you see the irony in your post....ie class system causes people to quit because it built for casual player....Zodiac causes people to quit because takes too much time for the casual player.

in reality of course this may be the case for some people.....because you can never please everyone. Just the facts. A year in they seem to have a very healthy active playerbase. I would say one of the most successful mmo launches in past several years in terms of paying playerbase. Playerd quitting is all part of it.

There are a number of things I dont like. When there is enough I dont like about the game that it is not enjoyable then I will stop playing. It wont mean the game sucks or is a failure it will just mean it not the right game for me anymore. So far I see no signs of that.

everything causes players to quit. a player can quit for any reason.

They quit because either they spend 300+ hours getting everything or want everything on a silver platter.

Akiza topic... Ah the good ol' days.

On a serious note this doesn't deserve it's own topic. There's a 100 page thread going on with all the points in the OP being argued by the for and against people. You've brought nothing to the table that hasn't already been said. I guess you must be bored and want to incite a nice flame war topic. Not to mention you are a very whishy washy player. One day you are for the game then the next you're chastising it.

Hey! Listen! At least it's not another topic on how Summoner should be and how the size of the egi are underwhelming... <.<

Shhh if you say that they'll regurgitate another then disappear off into the lost woods.

From personal experience, I've only seen people I know quit for 2 reasons so far.

1. Increasing lag and random 90000 errors that have gotten significantly worse since 2.3 launched.
2. A-rank hunts going un-adjusted in 2.35 to make them less appealing or not able to be blitzed.

Due to both of these issues cropping up within the past month, I've lost a lot of friends in a short period of time. My entire coil static also quit shortly after 2.35, so it's obvious something in that patch didn't sit well with many of them.

For the most part, it's not the content itself that causes people I know to quit, it's SE's failure to take action to address issues.

Solutions may be posted elsewhere, but not here.

Like, I get it, you're pissed off. But venting on the forums is going to solve absolutely nothing if you're not willing to make an effort to try to offer a solution. Honestly, there are a couple other hundred posts exactly like this that I'm sure the devs take one look at and move on with their lives, and I'm sure there will be hundreds of others like it. This one isn't special.

Burn themselves out rushing to cap everything? Poor attitudes of percentage of players ruining the game experience for others? I feel there are things that could be better but who wants to argue with players who want to rush.

I'd like to add from my personal experience.
I started playing with 3 friends, all of them quit due to the slow combat pace and the delay between end of castpoint to effect of spell.
And I totally agree with them, the problem is this is the best mmo out right now imo and I just wish they would change gcd to 1,5 sec and remove the delay (im talking about stuff like using benediction and you can see the effect but the tank dies anyway and you waste your cooldown.) If they would fix that I would probably even try on harder stuff like coil. But right now the slow combat pace makes the combat so boring.

other than the combat system I think the game is fine (except fates, whoever came up with fate, and whoever approved of fates...I don't have any words for that person)
