These forums are weird

[caffe_macchiato]

Don't like what you get, but keep paying the monthly sub to play things you don't like. Shiggy diggy.

To be fair, I'm not allowed to talk about what I really do in FFXIV on these forums.

Because it's a live service game. You pay to play it. If you don't like playing it, you don't pay. Easy as pie.

So true. Except, one small problem. You see, when you tell people to leave your game, sometimes they actually do. You don't want people to leave your game, you're just throwing it around as rhetoric. But they will. It's happened to other MMOs before. I don't need to say the name, because most of you already know. You don't think it can get worse? It can. Or do you not remember the absolute meltdown in 2021 when "that other game" fell apart and died because--guess what--people actually did leave.

It's a self-solving problem. We'll leave soon enough, just like you want. You don't really want that to happen, but it will.

Tuesday's my last day. After this patch those of us after the actual story of the game's world and not some bland crossover with FFIV have nothing left to grip us and there's no repeatable content scheduled for the whole rest of the expansion. Can't wait to see what happens to the population of this game in the coming months. Exodus would be an apt word for the effect I anticipate, despite having very much hoped for the opposite in what should have been an expansion that encapsulates all the excellence we used to enjoy for the past 10 years.

And I'm sure you'll be so disgusted at the outcome that you'll return for 6.5, yes?

See you again soon

Still waiting for it to happen....again, its not that anybody actually ""wants"" ya'll to leave.
But it would just be nice if you say it, you actually follow through and do it. And we (or at least me) would rather see you guy do something more happy and healthy, then paying and playing something you dont like, and then sitting on the Forums constantly complaining...while still paying for something you dont like.
And then creating excuses for it.

Once again you are deliberately misinterpreting people's positions and feigning concern when you have no place to.

Those of us who have taken issue with Endwalker's many missteps have been, repeatedly, told to quit/leave/play other games/"take a break" and so on. Who are you trying to convince that this isn't the case? And believe me I will absolutely be voicing my thoughts on how Endwalker turned out elsewhere despite not being subbed to post on the forums because it's actually significant how FFXIV was handed the WoW exodus and how everything became so slack and mismanaged afterwards across each aspect of the game.

This act of yours is too transparent. But don't worry, with Pandaemonium wrapping up the last bit of worldbuilding left in the tattered remains of FFXIV's lore, I don't see where this story goes from here that could bring me back for 7.0, since I stopped playing through the MSQ after it was clear we weren't going to get anything out of it except shallow references to FFIV. I've been pretty consistent with this position but instead of approaching me in a serious manner, you chose once again to go for gotchas that will no doubt gain you lots of upvotes from the defenders of Endwalker.

Congrats. You won. Unless a miracle happens and the game does a 180 you won't be seeing me or any of the posters you would rather see doing something "more happy and healthy" around because a combination of the game's shortcomings and the community that defends them has driven us out.

Uh huh...so you arent even going to play the patch you keep saying isnt worth it. Your loss.

After this patch those of us after the actual story of the game's world and not some bland crossover with FFIV have nothing left to grip us and there's no repeatable content scheduled for the whole rest of the expansion.

Theres plenty..it just doesnt suit you.

Nah I dont think so. Many will leave because everyone thinks the way you do. Ever stop to consider the fact YOU may be wrong?

, despite having very much hoped for the opposite in what should have been an expansion that encapsulates all the excellence we used to enjoy for the past 10 years.

Ive had a blast. Look forward to more.

Sorry you didnt.

take care, I hope you enjoy whatever you do in the interim, but see you in a couple months when you return

You don't want people to leave your game, you're just throwing it around as rhetoric. But they will.

You're speaking to the wrong person. I wouldn't shed a single tear if some of you left. I'd book your proverbial plane ticket if I could.

It's a self-solving problem. We'll leave soon enough, just like you want.

Don't make any promises you can't keep, Macchi!

And I'm sure you'll be so disgusted at the outcome that you'll return for 6.5, yes?

He'll be so upset with how things transpire that he can't find any other choice but to stay subbed so he can continue to complain on the forums for our own sakes. What a noble soul.
