Edited by: DaDutchDude on 16/10/2008 21:26:50 Edited by: DaDutchDude on 16/10/2008 21:26:26 Edit: CRAP! It was supposed to say "The big 'I am quitting EVE because ...' thread" in the title!
EVE has changed a lot in the past and will change a lot in the future, and not all players agree with these changes. Some disagree to the point that they decide to leave the game. Others throw a complete hissy fit and threaten to leave, but they actually don't quit at all.
While I can respect the first group, the second one annoys many. The first group can actually provide valuable feedback to CCP about the value of their product while the second group are just a bunch of attention *****s that polute any constructive discussion until it is a complete whine-fest that requires many whaaaaaah-mbulances. The problem is that nobody knows who is who, so the usefull feedback gets diluted by all the emo-rage.
So, let's separate the men from the boys. This topic is aimed at providing the people who say they will quit more attention while exposing the people who only threaten, and don't follow through.
How? Good question! This is an experiment and it could go horribly wrong, but I hope people will give it a serious go. All I will ask of people that want to announce their resignation in a way that is just more then a whine in a thread to follow the following rules:
- Post with the character that you will resign. If you have multiple characters that you will resign, make multiple posts.
- Fill out the following:
- When will you resign? (mandatory, date of the end of your subscription or GTC)
- What is the direct reason for your resignation? (mandatory, please try be respectful and constructive, so your feedback can be effective)
- What (if anything) would need to change for you to come back? (optional, please try be respectful and constructive, so your feedback can be effective)
- What (if any) other MMO's are you paying for and are worth your money more then EVE Online? (optional, might help to understand what you like and don't like about EVE)
Now to separate the serious quitters from the attention *****s, post histories can be checked. If your character posts on this forum after the resignation date you announced here, you have exposed yourself as a fraud. However if you follow through, I (and I hope many, including CCP) will respect your honest feedback and wish you good luck in whatever other game you might spend your money on.
So .... *insert drum roll sound here* .... commence quitting!

They need to make a rule for EVE General Discussion to have no I Quiting threads. This just getting lame now! I say if they going to post a thread about it give them a perm ban so they cant make another when they return.
I mean do it else where no body cares

I quit in my own way by canceling my subscription and only paying for GTCs with isk in future. It's not an i-quit emorage, more of an I'm not going to give CCP cash directly protest. Surely if everyone does this it'll be pretty effective as it's harder to project profits with GTC sales then it is with credit card subscriptions?

I will resign this character and my 47 alts at 11pm this evening
My reason includes, but is not limited to being tired and wanting to go to bed. In addition to this, i will be playing golf the next day and will need some rest.
If CCP would stop being lazy and find a way to accelerate time such that it was, say, instantly 5pm the next day then I would not leave. However I would need to feel as though I would have done what I would usually do in that time and would seek to receive the benefits of doing such. (Getting paid for work, getting study done, cybering girlfriend etc etc.)
I am subscribed to another MMO, it is far better than Eve and is titled 'Your Mother Online'.
Also, if the Orca doesn't look like a whale, I'll be leaving permanently again.
Yes, you can all have my stuff. sXe |

I shall quit eve with all 76 of my accounts, which will not be named but I assure you they really do exist! The problem is that they promised me cake, and we all know where that one went. Ergo I am sad. _________________ [IMAGE REMOVED] -- aka Cpt Bogus -- Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

Well,
Simply search for that odd 140 pages topic which has ghost problems and you will see how much unnecessary your topic is.
Probably is one of those featured bugs that i eard about

think of it like senerity where people suddendly start to go missing except it not because of cloning it because of other annoying factors being that the only one

This is totaly @#$%!!!!
This upcoming expansion is the last straw!
I'm cancelling all of my WoW accounts immediatly and going to play EVE.
That will show Blizzard who is boss. At least over there when you kill someone it actually means something.
No more lame expansions that do nothing for my PvP experience.
What could they change to make me come back?.. Let me grind to level 100!!!
Then, I will be satisfied. Take that Blizzard!...

-This character's subscription will end in approximately 30 days. -I am resigning because I am a poor college student and need to save money so I can afford next month's tuition, so that I can retain my full-time student status and thus be counted as a dependant for my parents so that they can get tax breaks, and so that I can keep my free healthcare which is worth more than a full-time minimum wage job. -The only thing that can change to make me come back is me getting more money, while will happen after I pay for next semester's tuition (or when I feel confident enough in my savings account to be able to afford it without going in debt) -I WAS playing WoW, but I canceled that too. There is probably no other MMO that I would play right now, unless it were free, because I am trying to save an extra bit of money per month.
As a note, because I have a full 30 days before this sub ends, I very well may end up resubbing before it runs out.

This character's subscription will end in a matter of hours (don't know why I bothered to log in to change skill training, but meh). -I am resigning because I am a poor college student and need to save money so I can afford next month's tuition, so that I can retain my full-time student status and thus be counted as a dependant for my parents so that they can get tax breaks, and so that I can keep my free healthcare which is worth more than a full-time minimum wage job. -The only thing that can change to make me come back is me getting more money, while will happen after I pay for next semester's tuition (or when I feel confident enough in my savings account to be able to afford it without going in debt) -I WAS playing WoW, but I canceled that too. There is probably no other MMO that I would play right now, unless it were free, because I am trying to save an extra bit of money per month.
As a note, because this account ends very soon, it will actually be inactive for at least another 2 weeks. It will probably be reactivated after about a month, though.
