Time to Quit

[TheNight]

usually - Implying not always the case. There are people that have quit and they have done so after months of announcing it, in the particular case of Aveyond I'm fairly certain he must've announced it a good half-dozen times. It's always difficult in this case, and won't really know until 6.5 anyway once the new story is out as to whether they have actually quit.

As far as I am concerned people whom announce it, then vanish until the next story patch to repeat the same haven't really quit, though you are welcome to disagree with this sentiment.

Did Daniolaut actually announce that he was/has quit? Or did he just silently do so? I recall the name but was on an extended break at this time.

At any rate, again, the point is that it is usually the case. Whilst there are people that have actually quit, there are still just as many that have announced it, but have still yet to actually do so. Equally, the point was that it is just pointless to ask people if it is time to quit or if they will do so - Purely because what people say they will do, and what people do in actuality are 2 entirely different things. Even if many have quit, many have done so after months, and after repeating it a good dozen times.



You didn't know? That's Storm

No, it is not usually. Here's another user that mentioned that their sub is running out, a rather well-known criticizer of FF14 that many of the "white knights" hate: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...53#post6292453

And they haven't posted in 10+ days.

I guarantee you, if you look up the people who say that their sub is running out/are quitting and actually compiled the data, at least 80% of them will actually have quit.

Please try to prove this assertion wrong by finding someone who said they'll quit and have not, because I can find five times as many demonstrating the opposite.

I like the Relic Grind so no disappointment. Can continue to casual my way to gear upgrades without being bored by repetitive fates. Hildebrand is enough of a chore I had to do from scratch....

I don't bother with the criterion dungeons. If I don't want the rewards or to spend time on things they release, I just don't do them.

Right now I can get maybe an hour of FFXIV a day on various roulettes I do feel like doing, sometimes more, sometimes less, and I'm fine with that.

7.0 has been my "decide to go on" mark since 6.0.

Given the design choices during EW, I see the writing on the wall and will prolly bounce out after 7.1 or so.

We shall see. I want to continue honestly but... yeah, theres comes a point you can no longer support a company that's clearly not putting their best effort into the product they are selling you.

Curious to know regarding the dissapointment in the relic grinds AND the Mt.Rokkon Savage rewards being absolute donkey.

How many of you are finally giving up this game and quitting and leaving forever? I'm DYING to know your thoughts.

Have a nice life. Take care.

It feels unlikely 7.0 will be a massive game changer. Otherwise we'd already hear how they're planning to rectify people's aggravation of the game years in the making.

It's people setting themselves up for disappointment which is why I think those truly unsatisfied (as in, there's more negative than positive about playing the game for them) with the state of the game need to quit. Seriously what's the point in lingering around in a game you detest?

I guess what I find awkward about your defeatist reasoning is why do you care so much about others actions? Inferring behind what you type you just sounds like very deeply you’re a hater and want all the people that complain here regularly gone. Can’t wait for it to happen, as if it’s some sort of victory.

But even if you were able to get rid of us it won’t change anything. And more than likely, since you like arguing here so much you’d just find new people to take issue with. So it’s this never ending path for you where no matter who quits you’ll barely get 30 seconds of satisfaction from it before moving on to the next thing to take issue with.

Also, when we do quit, it won’t be because someone in the forums goaded us into it of all places… that would be extremely lame. Well quit because the game isn’t worth it anymore and you’ll just stop hearing from us. Maybe some people will make exit posts, but for the vast majority you’ll have to wonder if we’re still out there or not and why we haven’t posted on here. What’s worse is more will come to do the exact same thing.

Look, I say this less as an attack to you and more just because if you read this post from an outside perspective it’s what you sound like.

Yeah, I'm not gonna quit the game because of a lack of rewards, generally. It'll be because of a lack of fun doing the things I enjoy, which in my case is playing different feeling jobs and roles, imaginative/varied encounters, and PvP.

Haven't been into the new Criterion yet (it's friggin only Wednesday), but I'm really excited to try it after how much fun I had with ASS.

I'm so excited to do e4s as BLU that I'll probably put it off until after 8 n 12 just because I love that fight so dang much!

I wish I would feel as excited about the new 24 mans, dungeons, extremes and even savages when they're added nowadays, but they seem so careful to make them as 'wrinkle-free' as possible lately that I often just don't end up feeling engaged the same, which is a shame because they still amount to a huge part of the battle content, and worse than that, the jobs don't feel as varied to play anymore. That affects ALL content, even goofing off around town in many cases.

Pvp doesn't have me excited with anticipation the same way but it's been consistent joy (and frustration!) for me since CC's introduction. New maps and jobs will always be exciting, even if rank seasons and rewards aren't!

My biggest desire is just exploratory content back which I think has a chance of coming back as you know you can notice a pattern in other content which I want to say Yoshi P commented on back in ShB that they generally do not want a side-content type to run several expansions in a row in fear of burn out. I believe this was cited for the lack of Deep Dungeon in ShB. That is why I have a tiny bit of... not hope but curiosity if one returns next expansion. Thankfully the fanfests should confirm or deny if one is coming and I can make my decision from there and see what else is announced. It is best to know all your options after all before making a decision especially when you have investment of time and relationships in something.

I'm mostly staying for my FC. We are a relatively small one, everyone knows everyone else, many of us are friends. We tend to have multiple FC events per week, which is the only thing I'm still interested in doing in this game right now. Endwalker has been a huge letdown for me in every way. The MSQ was lackluster with tons of filler and pacing issues, job design rubs me the wrong way, I'm not interested in literally any of the side content except for raids. I haven't even played the latest bit of MSQ because I'm tired of them rehashing stories from older FF games and Yoshi-P's Deviantart OC.

Looking back, the game kinda ended for me at the end of the 6.0 MSQ. At the time, I didn’t want to believe it but every subsequent patch since then is making it more and more apparent to me. I kept going on, hoping things would get better but they have not and most of my friends no longer login.

This is the first patch in 10 years that I have not bothered to login for patch day to play. I haven’t really played for weeks now. I am holding out hope that 7.0 will be worth the wait but we essentially have no content until May 2024. I’m not considering these 6.x patches significant content as I can finish them in a few hours and then go back to hibernating.

I was hoping the relic would give me some fun but I literally gasped when it was just tomes… I want to play but I can’t hit the login button… I miss my friends but there gone… I really don’t have much reason to play anymore as the current story and experience is no longer a happy and fun escape for me.

For me, it was a bad idea to center an expansion and subsequent patches around endings, depression and darkness. Not exactly the gameplay I want to experience.

Am I quitting? I don’t think so… yet… it’s just, I don’t have a reason to login.

Don't think about it and don't care. The Quicksand is still boppin' and it's getting easier than ever to use [redacted]. I tried Second Life, and while I could make a hot toon with a voluptuous bosom, it was a pain in the ass compared to FFXIV. FFXIV makes it effortless to [redacted] and [redacted] with your [redacted]. $13 a month is well-spent. The only thing I'm looking for in 7.0 is a new AFK spot. Don't even need femhroth when we already have [redacted].

Oh, but I don't actually play the game, I have World of Warcraft for that.
