I'm sorry to say, after a long period of thinking of the good and bad, talking to friends in this game (FFXI) and friends in the game I'm moving to (WoW) and friends IRL, I've decided to quit FFXI. I've tried hard to find reasons to stay, but I can't. I've become more of an ass as more and more people pissed me off, I don't even help my ls much anymore and I'm on bad terms with a lot of olds friends, probably people like Jimm and Hyre, and BHE and Valkyre as a whole. NH as well I guess, though I think Maseki being pissed about the genbu shield I got (which I earned, fucking staying through the god item farming proccess and fight) is retarded.
I've made and lost a lot of friends these 2 years, I've played since PC release day 1. Mostly loss I guess, only a handful of the people I once knew as friends I can still call so. To put it simply, the game isn't fun anymore, and frankly I believe it's time to move on. I find myself here.. end game, wondering what to do. Farm? For what..? I guess elite gear but I'm not an elitiest that is driven by being the best. Being good is enough for me. Crafting seems pointless, hard to make money with it and goes back to ground zero.
The endgame content seems so annoying, go lose xp and mucho time for a shot at some nice gear, to do what with? Go fight more things for nice gear for other people I guess. Or money. Ballista is fun but imo S-E is ruining it. I know its probably going to be the same in any MMORPG, but I guess continuing to be the MMO hopper I was isn't so bad.
It pains me to leave, mostly I'm going to have a hard time facing my friends and my great LS, CK, but this time I'm not going to let myself get talked out of quiting. I'm going through, maybe I'll regret it someday, but oh well. With college on the rise, I won't have much time to play anymore anyways, might as well start fresh in WoW with no obligations.
Sorry to everyone who has helped me obtain something recently, because I know some people will feel pissed that it was turned into a waste of time.
Mostly, I want to say sorry to everyone who still gives a shit about me, and to my ls for putting up with my crap for so long. Love you guys, I'm glad I'll actually have something to miss, and you guys are the strongest reason I could find not to quit, but it's not enough. I'll be on a few times this last month, if you want to chat a bit or something, mostly to say goodbye to old friends.
Also, if anyone who still drawls on these boards play WoW, maybe you could hook me up with a kind of mentorship. I don't expect gear nor money, but maybe someone I can talk to for info or tips, maybe get some opinions on a good guild to join.
Anyways, thanks for a great time QCDN
