Unsubed.
There are specific things that led to the following, but more essentially comes down to the following, (such that multiple ways of fixing it I'd accept):
Why I actually unsubbed
- I had loads of happy friends at the end of EW looking forward to DT. About six weeks after DT, I had no friends still logging in on my DC. (No one to run any content or rouls with, no hopes of having friends to do extremes with again, or maybe even try Savage for the first time... all evaporated.) I have almost zero reason to hope I'll ever be able to play with them again.
- It makes me 'sad' to see all those happy sprouts, bouncing around on Chaos... and to think of the pain some of them will have to go through... when they realise they are getting a 4th class experince on Chaos that they now have to accept... or they are going to have to loose their friends and exodus to Light. And Square Enix not only doesn't care enough to fix it, then don't care enough to offer and 'adequate' explanation. For this we need detail. (What's the 'specification' of what you think needs doing to fix it? and why technically cant you do it? Make a promise [not like with chat bubbles though])
Why am I staying away indefinitely,
- Even if I made friends on Light I'll loose most of them when they hit endgame I think unless they RP which I don't do.
- I'm very bored with the everything easier than extremes, and I don't enjoy the PF culture of "only join my PF if your going come up to scratch and help me do business, and get my clear, so I can F off, Im not here to play the game 'with' any you, I just have to is all")

The background.
I was on Chaos. Everyone I knew stopped playing, bored not having fun, for whatever reason.
Its hard building communities of casual players, when the game never keeps them for long, and you have to constantly kick people who are not logging in 'now' because of a useless CWLS limit of 64.
I had for a long time been tired of struggling to queue a lot of content on Chaos (basic casual stuff) and then heading over to Light and immediately getting a sub 5 minute pop.
Getting the same boring ARR HW instances in rouls on Chaos, and getting way better random later game instances on Light.
So I transferred to Light... I now had zero hope I'd even see those one or two people I used to know just to say 'hi' to. Although it was literally max of two at a time online.
The loss of my estate (or an estate a friend 'loved' building for me) hurt quite a bit.
I was unhappy.
That left the content. Great as they were I was bored with AAC normals and everything below that.
Extremes? I got my one clear in each, and yeah... I wasn't going to suffer 300 wipes, and numerous rude party abandons in PF for !99! totems when I barely want mounts myself anyway. I'd have happily queued those Extremes for no reward in a roul or duty finder all day long, if I didn't have to worry about measuring up to a PF advertisement, or people getting irritated and abandoning because their clear wasn't guaranteed.
No friends. A Bad taste in my mouth. No 'enjoyable' BS free 'gameplay' for me.
