Back for good *Disgusted father of 3*

[Varyntheos]

Well after a long hiatus to go back to wow (been playing on and off since vanilla) I am done. Being someone who does not generally post often, and likes to watch from the sidelines and basically leaving the chit chat and stream talk to the younger people, even though I do enjoy watching streams from time to time, I genuinely felt sick looking at the wow forums, as a married father of 2 girls 1 being a teen and another pre-teen makes me feel sick.

Just needed to get that off of my chest on a side note, looking forward to getting to the end game this time around started a new SMN on sargatanas to get the rust off.

You know, I had made a decision to park my WoW toons and give FFXIV a try because the game play of Shadowlands is so bad, and the visuals are SO depressing. I didn't have any plans to cease my subscription, just park the toons and await better times.

I'm not married, and never had kids but Activition/Blizzard's behaviour on a number of issues have long disgusted me. This was the final straw and I just got so pissed off that I canned my subscription. I voted with my wallet.

I keep hearing about how bad they are, but have no idea what goes on over there.
What kind of stuff were people saying if you don't mind me asking.

Also, welcome to Sarg.

Its the wild west. Its split into 5 groups,

1. Straight up Quitters
2. Playing til sub expires
3. "Ok but this doesn't effect me. I'll still play WoW"
4. Trolls
5. Stands

Get off my computer Dad and stop leaving crumbs on my keyboard.

Are you by any chance related to the other poster who quit FF14 for good?

Kudos to you, good sir!

This year hit the final straw for me in regards to WoW, after many years of playing the game and supporting the company... And even when I left and I'd thought they'd dropped as low as they could go in regards to how their handling the game and their community, new light comes out of how Activision/Blizzard is sinking even lower. Everything about that company is despicable at this point, so I'm glad I've moved on and gotten my friends / family to leave them as well. They don't deserve any support anymore.

I'm grateful for this game because ever since I did, it's been a complete breath of fresh air! I'm 3 months in and enjoying myself so immensely with everything I'm coming across that I haven't even reached end-game yet, lol. I've started Stormblood, but hit 80 on my BLM and decided to get a tank and healer job up to speed, and been enjoying that so much I just about stopped the story because I was having fun doing dungeons and learning tanking/healing. Now I have both of those up to lvl.70 and realized I should probably pick the story back up again! (As soon as I get done dabbling with BLU, that is)

Varyntheos, I hope your adventures prove to be just as fun if not more so in the future!

Welcome to Eorzea, friends!

You will undoubtedly encounter some bad eggs here, but by and large you will find the place very welcoming. Take your time and enjoy the ride. No rush.

Pull up a chair, we get to watch the WoW death spiral from a safe and respectable distance.
