Another "they quit" thread

[Kosmos992k]

2.2 is the first progression content patch for this game and I don't count ex primals as those were cleared by top tier FCs within 12 hours. Right now my FC is double clearing coil every week, half alts half mains.

Not everyone measures progress in the same manner. I am often reminded of a line from "It's a wonderful life"...

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

This is an MMORPG, what happened to the social and community aspect? Where is the working together? Why is everything a race to get the best gear, and then NOT help others because then they would have it too?

what happened to the social and community aspect?

It went out the window with the implementation of duty finder and lockouts.

hard to foster a community when you can't help anyone do the content. Sure you have the pre-coil stuff to help people with but at a point it becomes anti community with the endgame.

While some people leave, maybe 10 - 15 of your fc that most people notice, another group comes into the game. Some of those people will leave, some will stay, thus the nature of an mmo. When you find your particular taste of a game, you stick with it. Every game has forums threads about people leaving. Last game I played for 5 years, in that 5 years tons of threads of planning to quit and people deserting that game type apocalyptic threads, but the game is still played and running 5 years later just the same.

Also there are no "I started playing" threads or not alot at least comared tp the "I quit" ones.

That's why we need to make more effort to foster the community.

As I said before...

The cliques formed by the emphasis on ... a static group are utterly antisocial and toxic to the health of a Free Company and the community in general. ...The very heavy need to form static groups of 8 hurts Free Companies and Link Shells, they become fragmented. Turning to Duty Finder simply takes the people left out of the static groups and puts them with strangers, further distancing those players from their 'friends' in the statics. That too is pretty much a cancer to Free companies.

The persistently negative tone in this forum doesn't help much either, we need to work together to improve things, rather than simply pointing at the faults and grinding our teeth.

What do you want or expect people to do? All I see is you complaining in the same way.

[Autymnfyres]

Its ok. Really.

Disclaimer -This isn't a "I quit thread".

I've been saying the direction the dev team is taking XIV won't prove to be successful in the long run for a while.

I think the main problem here is that they don't really have a reason to heed the words of a random forum poster. Maybe if you could give them a portfolio of all of the successful games you have produced or been a part of, or maybe purchase majority stock in the company, or maybe work your way up the corporate ladder you might have a chance. Who knows.

my sub ran out today i don't plan to resub till 2.2 cause there is nothing to do. Of course Sub will be on the rise because They just put there product out on steam and because Most people don't cancel a sub untill it runs out. On my server i have seen 2 guilds with over 100 people all 50's go from all active to about 10 active now. I am in 7 link shells with 50-110 people. I logged in yesterday before my sub ran out to find each of them had 5-8 people in each. Its really sad. the content is to easy and scripted which makes for a boring game.
