When I unsubbed from WoW I didn't make any post about it. I simply logged out one day and never logged back in.
They actually don't give you a text box to enter anything in when unsubscribing unlike other MMOs (even Ultima Online did that around two decades ago), so it's productive to let them know on the forums on your way out exactly what led you to quit if you care enough about the game that you hope it changes in the future. I haven't made "exit posts" or contributed constructive criticism in other threads for games I've had no intention of ever playing again (The Old Republic was the most recent one I can think of).

However, if I were really just doing it for the attention, you all would just be validating it. Food for thought I suppose.
