This game is getting to me. Between all of the drama, the flames, and the hours spent looking for party, I've noticed one thing: I'm not having much fun anymore. So, I've decided that, unless something changes in my experiences, I'm definitely going to quit once this month is over.

I don't really know if anyone cares even a bit, but I just wanted to say this, because I can't just keep it to myself. I'm really annoyed at how much of the game has been broken down into a science and one can't simply have fun.

I'm not a person that holds grudges, but I am a person that has annoyed others involuntarily, and to those people, I'm sorry. I truly am. Just know that I like to kid a lot, and I'm mostly never serious. And when I am, it really shows. It's not an excuse, it's an answer. This is a game, so I treat it like a game, and am almost never serious in my interactions with the people inside of it, since it is a game...

Just know that I wish the best of luck to everyone. If you need anything, even my petty amount of gil, /tell me. I still have my Elvaan M. RSE, except for the body, which I sold. Got Seer's Tunic, and some other crap. I think if you sum it all up, it's like 500k? I'm not sure, I don't really care. Probaly more...

Just, all of you, nothing but love, honest love, and take care.

PS: There's still a chance I may stay in the game. And if that happens it's one of 2 things:

A.) I get lvl 70 sometime in this millenium.
B.) I completely forget I even made this decision. (This is the one that will probably happen.)

Sepan que los quiero a todos, a pesar de nuestras diferencias. Los respeto a todos y les pido que si de algo mío se recuerden, que no sea algo negativo.
 
Just take a few months break and see how you feel about the game. It really can make a difference that you can't imagine unless you expereince it personally. :wink:
 
Decided it was more mean than I wanted it to be. Your response to my attempt at a helpful suggestion annoyed me.
 
I quit for the same reasons: the game started to feel like work.
However, the withdraw was a bitch, but then I discovered my new addiction, and this one is much more fun than FFXI, Guildwars baby!!!
 
My advice: stay away from the forum, at least the Flameboard.

Reading all those flames and dramas has a very big negative effect on your in-game fun. This forum is fun to me, but I know how to seperate forum and in-game experience.

(example: the flame you made that backfired on you might have brought your spirit down)
 
Yep, lots of threads it is best to stear clear of in the flameboards. Drama just for the sake of drama. :?
 
Agreed, stay away from the Flameboard. It really drags me down whenever I visit so I've made it a habit to just stay out of there. Also, try and get BST up just 7 more levels to 35. Once you hit that magnificent BST lvl you'll gain a whole new perspective of the job, and quite possibly the game as well (I know I did lol) If you do decide to go thought, I wish you the best.
 
Having 4 hours a week as my only dedicated time to the game helps keep me sane. I end up with more time here and there, but I really don't understand how people can play this game every day. There's more to life.

...Not saying that's you Answa. :/
I see how that sounds, and I'm not directing it at anyone. Just a piece of my philosophy. FFXI can suck you in, and you'll never return, if you let it. I know when I leave the game, there will be things I wish I had done. That will be the case whether it be 4 hours a week, or 4 hours a day that I play. There's just too much stuff that you can do in this game. You can't do everything, and if you can...You're a big fat dork. Congratulations for having more of a Vana'diel life than a real one.


I hope ya find a way to stay.
 
Well, the above are the only two conditions.

And BST... it's almost impossible between all of the pops, farmers, and lack of inventory space.

I don't think the thread backfired on me, just people misunderstood its meaning... it never really wore me down.

Anyway, thank you all for the support. I'll just have to try harder to get level 70. I just find it frustrating to be so close yet so far. I've played this game for a year and a half and I'm still lvl 67. I'm always broke... And people just take one silly comment and shove it in your face as if it's your credo, as if that's the only way you function and your only standing in life and the game...

It's many things that are bumming me out, but there are still 20~ days to change my opinion.

I feel your pain thats why im glad im on a break right now. Things are just so hard to get like my O.kotes i dont know if ill ever be able to affored them and im gonna have to lvl up some before i camp him, knowing all this just brings me down. All i can say is keep your head up youll find something that makes you happy in this game. for me it was my LS and sometimes helping low lvl people not be PLing them but like giving alil bit of gil or makeing some items for them things like that are fun to me. But i wish the best for you no matter what your choice is
