Unsubbed Thread (Tell us why)

[Dante131]

I'm sticking around till 7.1. I usually love Alliance raids and that's gonna be the real barometer to the game's direction as far as I'm concerned. I'd consider unsubbing right now and coming back for 7.1, but I still would prefer to not lose my medium house; Though the new GW2 expac is making me reconsider that concern a bit.

they have so cool features in their housing. I mean you can pet your mounts what more do you want ah an alt room oh wait they got that aswell. Just reading this made me want to try out the new GW expansion.

So, after reading some of your comments, I felt like sharing my own thoughts as well.

After Shadowbringers (ShB) and Endwalker (EW), I wasn't expecting much from the story. The EW 6.X patches only reinforced my skepticism. Interestingly, I was discussing Dawntrail (DT) with my wife, and while she was convinced that DT would be a disaster—fearing that the story would be slow and possibly boring—she was particularly upset because her most anticipated class for years is on its way to the doctor to be castrated into a limited job. (Great job, by the way, after saying you'd never make another limited job again.) I don't care much about Beast Master myself, but it does make me think: I'm paying the full subscription fee, so why am I getting a limited class? Should I be able to pay a limited subscription just to keep my house? I doubt it.

So, after months of defending DT with thoughts like, "Maybe they'll surprise us" or "They might add something interesting," the release date approached. My wife bought me DT as a gift because I had been looking forward to it and was excited. On the pre-release, I jumped into the game I've loved for so many years, eager to continue the journey. But after the first dungeon in the MSQ, I found myself more bored than I was in Final Fantasy XVI... DT eventually turned me into a story skipper because I was completely uninterested. I started visiting the forums, and it turns out I'm not alone.

Now, after hearing that they see the feedback but aren't addressing it properly, I'm noticing a lot of Blizzard-like moves. Meanwhile, Blizzard has made some changes that I thought were great, so I decided to give them another chance. But after seeing some interviews, I’m not sure if Yoshi-P is just tone-deaf or if he doesn’t understand the feedback.

Long story short, here are my reasons for staying subscribed:

I always have a 6-month subscription, which I paid for in July, so I’m stuck.
My large house.
Eden was my first raid tier, and I really want to see the ultimate.

Reasons for unsubscribing:

The MSQ is bad.
SE employees insult customers, or GMs close threads without a reason.
The job changes... I don’t even know how to describe them.
No fun events or anything giving me a reason to log in between 5-month patch gaps.
Yoshi-P's interviews—just read them, and you’ll understand.
The healer situation is absurdly bad.
Tanks are no longer fun to play.
I found a fun DPS, but it's getting weird changes with the Savage patch.
No QoL improvements this time? There are so many things to address, and no, the blacklist is just a half-measure QoL change—don’t get me started.

It's sad to see the game in this state, but recent patches and DT make me wonder if the joy I've experienced in the past few years was just luck or if I was looking at CBU3 through rose-colored glasses...
