"Just wait until *insert next patch*!"

[Raven2014]

It does not render his quitting invalid (though for how long remains to be seen, and even if it's not "forever" still doesn't render the loss of interest as invalidated), although I guess it's probably as good of a "gotcha" moment as you're going to get on him, if that's all you're looking for. I suppose it's all about the little victories when there's not much else to strive for in this social mmo experience called Final Fantasy XIV.

First, maybe it's just me, but I think there is a different between quitting the game and taking a break from the game.

Second ... I was the one who explained WHY he can still post after quiting the game, so you really quoting and comprehending the wrong person here. Secondly, even if I was playing a "gotcha" moment ... aren't you doing the same? Context matter, specifically it's about this post:

Quitting FF14 was the best decision I made. I'm still here checking the forums for my daily entertainment, but I've been having a blast with other games and I wouldn't touch 6.35 with a ten foot pole.

I mean ... I regularly take break from the game to play other things. This year alone I had took a week break for Star Ocean, and another 3 week break (when I actually unsubed) to play Xenoblade 3, I certainly didn't announce my break in the dramatic faction.

Also, this post came from one of the "chronic complainer" who literally complain about everything. It's not about being dismissive, but he's the type that some of us wonder "why are you still here". And now he just openly admit he has more fun complaining on the forum rather than playing the game ... like dude, you can't say it's unreasonable for people poking fun at such a statement. In fact, it would be unreasonable to think people just gonna let such comment slide.

Like, maybe if FF14 were a job, I could understand where he was coming from. But this is a game, it blows my mind how people prefer to be miserable about it rather than enjoying it. So I legit hope this is his final "I quit" post, not because I want to dismiss him (ok maybe a little bit of that), but the main reason would be I just think it's a good decision from a mental health point of view. Because that specific post above is a legit cause of concern.
