Another "they quit" thread

[Ortamus]

Ortamus, MMOs are not for everyone. If you want the instant satisfaction you are describing you can play small scale multiplayer game or invest some cash into a f2p game for all the perks and happiness your money can buy but even then you will probably find some grindy aspects. But you really should stop judging how others use their time, your pity is meaningless to people who enjoy playing MMOs for what they offer.
To anyone quitting: just quit, dont inform the forums, just save dignity and leave. Making a post is screaming "Im bitter over my life choices" or "Im burnt out, please talk me into staying". Ortamus sounds like the first.

Obviously I've hit a nerve, my intention wasn't to offend it was to see if any other people who didn't enjoy the game for the same reasons as myself. Well done on being the second person on assuming my thoughts and being completely wrong. People can post whatever they want here, they don't have to meet your approval.

We never 'assumed' anything about you; you made your thoughts clear as day. And it's not what you say, it's how you say it, and how you explained that you felt pity because someone was proud just shows your not akin to those who enjoy what this game offers. And there's no need to 'defend' this game, it's just a game and every game has hits and misses for everyone. It is what it is and it is clearly something you don't want, as a couple have already helped explain. Honestly, not sure why you're looking for reinforcement as to the reasons you quit. If it didn't appeal in the end, that's fine. We all sometimes end up stepping too far into a game we eventually realize we don't enjoy. The best is really to just move on and find something you can enjoy.

You gave good feedback. Everything can always use adjustments. I'll certainly not defend the ludicrous rng that ties into relics, especially when stacked with grind. RNG on anything can always be nasty, it sucks. And there could be a more efficient system, but rng and grind is how MMOs survive. Pony drops honestly it's not something necessary and all fluff, so I can't throw up my arms and demand better drop chances. Gear that people need to perform better in content is a different story. It does need work. Better would be if raids offered more loot per run to fight the low drops or considering the number of classes in existence for specific gear. But you can always find other outlets for gear. Grinding currencies, or crafting and slotting materias. May not always be the best but it can hold over while you more passively grind gear.

We never 'assumed' anything about you;.

Two people have incorrectly made assumptions on my thoughts, yourself not being one of them. As to "why" I wanted to know if there were any other players who thought the same, obviously one my reasons has upset a few people here and for that I can only apologize, having already explained it to people if I see any more replies regarding one sentence I'm not going to bother replying. But on the others I sincerely want SE to make the game more enjoyable for players and make it more fun because for a long time the only thing that kept me going were the other players. The one thing I'll miss more than anything is stuff like when you're out doing fates, teaming up with a random person and making a new friend out of it. I'll not miss the battles, the gathering, the story, or SE telling me I have to change my password, but the people have been awesome.

On a scale of maybe to maybe not how possible is it that you incorrectly assumed people made incorrect assumptions?

I mean, just in general, if you're gonna go after someone's assumptions it's a good idea to double check your own just to be safe. At least I assume so.
