Quitting ffxiv for good

I'm guessing will see you back in 7.0 along with all the others that have quit.

This attitude is actually disgusting.

How many facepalms do you need when people just can't help but bless this forum with their cermonious return?

The guy who said he unsubbed last week? turns out he will resub next month judging by his recent posts.

This attitude is actually disgusting.

Is it incorrect, though? A lot of people dramatically talk about quitting and then come back later.

Agreed.

Speaking from experience, those who genuinely quit a game tend to do so without any noise or fanfare at all.

I quit the so-called F2P MMO I'd played for over ten years back in 2021 for various reasons, the primary reason being the studio sacrificing new content (only two new episodes, worth about 45 minutes of play time, a year last time I checked) in favour of gamble boxes. There were other reasons too, but I digress.

In my case I silently quit that MMO as realised that, in that game's case, complaining about their sleazy marketing tactics and the poor quality of the game on it's forum/social media didn't matter - because if you do that, but give them your money anyway, you are communicating exactly what you are willing to accept in the primary language they understand/care about.
And yes, I'd have to concede that for some the same might apply to FFXIV.

Come on lol, this is the equivalent of a toddler saying they're going to run away if they don't get ice cream for dinner. It's an empty threat. Anyone who was going to actually leave would just leave and play another game.
Coming to the official forums and making a big post about "If you don't start removing QoL to cater to my idea of what this game should be, I'm quitting" is a temper tantrum and attention seeking behavior, plain and simple.

Just quit, bye, see yah, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Other people will keep playing the game and having fun if they like it, and you move onto a game that you find more fun. I've done it dozens of times with games that have just lost the spark, and I've never felt the need to make a large "Why I'm quitting" post.
