Rage Quit

[SAMINUS]

I can see it being a failure.. but I still have high hopes.. I dunno if I will quit because I really don't play anymore as it is. There are alot of other games coming out so it is just a matter of where I want to spend my time. I am hoping that this game pulls through. I have been a fan of Squaresoft for a long time. After Sakaguchi left, well it just doesn't feel the same anymore. So hopefully this game renews my respect for SE. Hoping..

XIV will sit on my hard drive unused until it's fixed or they can the project. Not much else to say.

I disappoint quit months ago. Now it's just a matter of whether I'm going to come back or not.

I am curious how many people will rage quit after this patch is released due to possibly not meeting player standards for all of this wait. Does anyone thing there will be a severe server drop? Thoughts please.

Depends how much they change, I am in the minority of keeping the current system and fixing the broken stuff. If they mess too much with what I do enjoy in the game, I'll likely move on.

Oh we all know some people will look for a reason for it to be considered bad. Though I'm sure some people will be legitimately upset because it wasn't exactly what they where thinking.
You can't please everyone because some people just don't want to be pleased.

If it blows, I'll play when I have time and nothing else to do.

If it's fun, I'll find time to play it, even moving around other free time activities. ^^

Either way, I'll stick around. The last thing this game needs is a sudden rush exodus of active people (read - Extended Beta Testers). I have all the faith in the world that this game will be amazing if we have confidence, and let them know there is still viable interest and a market for this game. If in the midst of a repair, everyone leaves, there's not much use patching up a game nobody seems to even be willing to play for free.

It's not killing us to play. And if it is, luckily, there's no legal obligations to play XIV, and you're very much welcome to try another game, and come back whenever or if ever you feel like trying XIV again.
As someone else said previously...

Can you really quit, if it's free?

Some people just really hated it. All of the people I started playing XIV with in beta and release just cancelled their accounts because of how sickened they were by the game.

It will also be hillarious reading them all.

So you find the issue of decreasing populations hilarious?
Whether the said "rage-quit" posts that may come might be for silly reasons or poorly put together as a whole, XIV is still losing players. That's not something to laugh about unless you really want this game to be scrapped.

1. Ragequiters on the forums mostly don't play the game anyways.

2. If the game fails it fails, getting teary eyed that people don't find the game up to snuff doesn't bother me.

3. Why should I care about the population dropping right now? If the game fails to pick up users on re-launch is the issue at hand. Sure a few "Hardcore" players might convince the 2 friends they actually have to not pick the game up but it's not as dramatic an effect people are making it out to be.
Surely Square should be worried about retaining them, but I sure as hell don't care. The delicious tears will flow one way or another.

4. Most Ragequiters are just trolls who probably log in the next day despite "Deleting there account and never coming back"

In any forum the dissenters are always the vocal majority, even if the game was amazing I can guarantee we would still see a large volume of troll posts either way. Happy people play, angry people cry about it on forums. Do I want the game to be scrapped? Nope. Can I do anything about the dev teams actions? Aside from what I allready currently do as a normally decent forum goer...nope. Can I laugh at some of the terrible reasons people "Quit" I sure as hell can.
