These forums are weird

[R041]

Still waiting for it to happen....again, its not that anybody actually ""wants"" ya'll to leave.
But it would just be nice if you say it, you actually follow through and do it. And we (or at least me) would rather see you guy do something more happy and healthy, then paying and playing something you dont like, and then sitting on the Forums constantly complaining...while still paying for something you dont like.
And then creating excuses for it.

"Why are you still with your girlfriend, didn't you say she was abusive?"

Sometimes people are stuck with what they know and hope it'll get better for them, and XIV is an old game that they used to feel comfortable with and even good about. It ain't that complicated.
Yeah it's a 'video game' and it's sad - But it's still a hobby a lot of people have actively engaged in, made friends in, built communities around for a decade.

For a lot of players XIV might actually have been their first MMO, and they don't really want to look around, or even know how. So they just want it to get better.

I think if SE reduced the predatory subscription systems with housing, FC ownership, and raid lockouts - We wouldn't be so attached.

I'm subbed for those reasons, but I'm "Playing other games".
