I'm done!

[Nasheen]

I am not shouting or crying. Read the entire thread and you will see why this interests me and should interest SE as well. Threads like this do serve a purpose they let SE know customers are unhappy and SE is in danger of losing them. That is the only way to voice customer dissatisfaction. I used the title "I'm done" knowing I would get flamed by some but I had hoped it would get people to take a look and voice their opinions on the launch. What always surprises me is how some people just take it and feel it is ok since this is an mmo. Time to hold mmo developers to a higher standard. If they are not ready, do not launch until they are. In 2012 MMO revenues topped 12 billion dollars! Did you know that? This is not an industry of a bunch of indie developers anymore it is huge business! It is time customers expect the industry to preform like they make 12 billion dollars a year since they do.

All fine and dandy but the last few days there been countless of these topics. If you wanted to open a normal discussion maybe you shouldn't go all about how you gonna quit and leave for another game. And not commenting about SE will never be able to fix it. It is understandable you are frustrated, so am i. Its understandable that you had enough with it. But do you really believe SE is gonna read all these topics? When they all say the same and where it mostly ends in people shouting they gonna quit. They will laugh at most of those people, knowing these people are bluffing anyway.

You also need to realize you can't prepare for just about everything with the launch of a MMO. Yes some companies managed to launch well because they took certain measures that pissed people off in another way. Like locking down the pre orders and abilities to make accounts for a while so only early buyers could play. But you (and me, and others) are guilty of letting the MMORPG developers get away with what they are doing now. You still pre order your game, still want to play from the start while you know more often then not it doesn't go very well. You can blame SE for it all but its a bigger problem. Just like the whole game industry atm is a big joke with many games coming out broken and hardly get repairs cause they can sell another version of CoD the year after anyway for full price.

What can you do?

- Don't pre order
- Don't play the first month (saves you a lot of frustration and if we all would do it they might wanna make sure the game runs smoothly during launch)

I just keep in mind that the first weeks are always bumpy. Sometimes they surprise me with a smooth launch (Rift) but if its crappy it just sucks but not something i didn't expect. In a month when the game is probably in a much better state i don't even think back of these days anymore and enjoy it every time i play it. WoW had a terrible start up as well yet i played till shortly after Cata. Maybe FF14 will have the same effect, a rough start but with the months getting better and better and adding tons of free stuff in patches making the game even more great to play and then in 8 years we laugh about the wonky start "remember how terrible it was during launch?".
