My buddy decided to quit the game one Saturday afternoon when he waited over 3 hours to enter a story quest instance as a DPS. He was bitching on vent about how ridiculous the wait was.

I had 2 friends quit the game over the game mechanics. One of them just could not stand getting hit when moving out of circles on the ground. He would run out of the circle and just keep on running and BAM, still hit. He said, what is this 1998? F this game. The other buddy found the combat system the most boring thing ever. 2.5 global cooldown and instant attacks taking forever to be instant. He decided to quit when he was trying to pick daisies and his character took a few seconds to even begin picking the things up. Did I pick a mentally challenged character? This is pretty lame.

My last RL buddy quit the game when he was done grinding for his gear. "I have always picked 1 character and class to play in every game. The fun in this game is leveling up other classes? Um, I guess I'm done here then.".

Now I'm all alone and haven't even logged in for 3 days. I guess this is my sign. I hope you guys continue enjoying FFXIV.
