What cause players to quit Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

[Xatsh]

Main reason people leave.

Boredom. If people get bored they are forced to play other games. If that happens to much they find something else they like.

Most people who left XIV from my guild in the last year it was because of boredom. A much smaller minority was people just hating the game.

Game has a lack of content issue. Part of it is because it is new. Other part is the design concept of endgame.

Here's the real reason.

I kinda understand the whole lock-out thing. Of course, they're doing this so people won't get everything in less than a week then people cry about "Not much to do..."
but what I don't understand is why it's really a RAID lock-out, you're basically really screwed over if you don't have a static.
I suggest: LOOT lock-out instead. This will let friends help friends or newbies, and do learning runs or anything like that.
You finally get to "end-game", and you can only do it once when you have what you need.
That's so silly.

Indeed, it's nearly impossible to give feedback here with the amount of white knights around.

Yeah, people gave me crap early on in 1.0 once it became obvious how bad it really was, like some people here where they'd be just fine if 99% of the players quit, just so long as SE noticed their blind dedication to whatever came down the pike.

Get coil on farm then you've reached boredom.

I actually want to leave because they won't let me buy more fantasias D;< I just want to be a lalafell, even sent several mails begging them to take my money lol. But, well, they refused.

I cannot say that I agree with many of your points Akiza, but one I can agree with is the raiding. I understand making a fight difficult, but I don't feel having one shot mechanics is exactly the way to go about it. I hate the fact of having to join up with 7 other equally skilled players out there, when the chances of all 7 of them being good are not very likely. (I blame the fact that people join for a major patch, then leave a month or so later until the next one.) Even being in a static like I am now, people will still find the most ridiculous and stupid ways to mess up. Go figure.

So, getting stuck with tanks who derp, healers who still don't know how to heal correctly, and DPS with tunnel vision really throws raiding out the window for me. The desire to be all caught up on raiding sounds amazing, but with the way they are right now, and the fact that much of the gear isn't even worth the time to run it, I'm surprised that many people even do Coil.

Indeed, it's nearly impossible to give feedback here with the amount of white knights around (like the whole first three pages), even quitting threads, as much as I agree that they are looking for attention, they also work as a feedback, but some people feel the need to protect SE's integrity with all they have and feedback hardly ever gets through.

People toss the words White Knight the second someone disagress with them though. Here's out it usually go:

Person A: I don't like these things because x reasons.
Person B: I disagree with you because of x reaons.
Person A: omg such a White Knight.

Get coil on farm then you've reached boredom.

Already there, and not bored.

Then again I don't tunnel vision one aspect. I set myself numerous short, medium and long term goals and work towards them and mentally tick them when I complete.Got coil on farm, dont have BiS or t9 MNK weapon yet (baad coil! XD ). Working on getting all Artisan tools, only have 5, slowly getting the rest, achievement hunting, @ 4080 points. Getting Alexandreite (69/75) ATMA (6/12) steadily in prep for 2.4 and NIN. Collecting minions are just some of the goals I've set myself.

SWTOR got boring for me because there weren't a choice of goals to aim for, raiding was easy, so the best armor was crazy fast to obtain, crafting was pretty pointless and boring. So I quit.

FFXIV with it's myriad choices keeps me entertained.

Reason why SE shouldn't take these threads seriously: The biggest whiners still play the game.
