    So long and thanks for all the fish

    For the people who really hate that reference, that was for you For the people who liked it, read my post history until you get annoyed and then come back. Now, how does one over-dramatize "I'm unsubbing from an online video game because I don't like it right now?"

    I've been poking the bear on the forums for a little over a year now and playing the game with a persistent sub since 2020, and this morning I finally let it expire. I do wish it could've lasted longer, but I stuck around through the downfall of several other MMO's over the years and I really can't be bothered to do it again. There's still a flicker of hope inside me that they're going to get this game back on the rails, but there's also another part of me that acknowledges that any great thing is going to have to endure impermanence at some point or another. It might be time for you to consider this as well (unsub)

    Until the game enters a state that I find satisfactory again I'm just going to sub for a single month at a time on the even number patches, do some content, and ditch the game again until one day I never come back. For anyone else who's not happy with the state of the game, just let go. It'll be fine I promise. As for the friends I've made - I still speak to most of them outside the game and do other things with them all the time anyway. No sub required. I'm really going to miss acquaintances for sure, especially the great folks from moon crafting, but it is what it is. Soles occidere et redire possunt and all that

    I think overall it's a joyous time. I get to leave behind a toxic game and community, and likewise y'all are free from me for now. Just remember: You can't cook unless you stir the pot a little. Don't be afraid to challenge even your own predispositions to things going on all around ya, and definitely don't be afraid to unsub and see if it's what you've been needing all along. And if you see obtuse forum posts, throw in some bait. It's prime entertainment

    I really do hope the game gets over this hump and everything recovers nicely. If it does then maybe I'll come back and decide not to post on the forums because I'm just so pleased with the state of things. Time will tell, so please look forward to it.

    Geez, that's way too long of a break. I can see them returning by the start of the weekend so they can keep posting doomer topics on this wonderful forum.

    Midcore is when you take a look at an Ultimate, nod along sagely to a guide and decide to do it when you get 12 months of uninterrupted vacation, which is to say: never.

    One of the only remaining good, honest, genuine frequenters of the forums since Mao left. How ironic that they villainize you and then speak so abhorrently in the next breath. Goes to show you what the true colors are around here, and the richness of the irony at that. They forget that you get like 4 days of grace period access to the forum after your sub expires. But then, they can hardly conceptualize the idea of alliance roulette having alliance raids in it or that healing is easy in normal content because normal content is easy for everybody. So I guess we can't expect too much from them. I'm glad that the last net I cast pulled in such a bounty. The true nature of the "best community" that's full of hate. May they enjoy the solitude of it. Take care dude o7

"When your worst enemy makes a good point" and all that. Although there is someone else here that I constantly hate agreeing with, which is a good thing... I think?
    Also ironic how another shitposter in this thread says "see you in a week." My guy didn't get the memo.

    I hope you resub for 8.0 just to shit on the non-existent job rework. And if not; you got out when the rest of us are still living in a world filled with delusion and copium. Have a good one mate, you earned it. The forums are gonna be sadder without you.
