Kapono Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I didn't see a spot to give a reason why I canceled my subscription, so I'm writing it here; not sure where else to put it (if a moderator would move it to the appropriate place, I'd appreciate it). I had a wonderful time over the last couple months with the 12x experience bonus - I leveled up several characters and had a great time doing it. I don't really find the endgame all that interesting, but if the 12x experience bonus is ever reinstated - and we get more character slots - I'll resubscribe in a heartbeat. I'd also come back if we can have cross-server mailing/legacy - I'm not really tied to my current server other than that all my characters are on it. Anyway, I do enjoy the game for the parts I play, but until the 12x thing comes back and we get more character slots, I'm going to take a hiatus. The game is still good fun for me, but I'm kinda deadlocked until those things happen. Kapono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tharbison Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I find that curious. You want to rush to end game using 12xp, but, you don't like end game? Which would imply you like leveling, yet at the same time you won't do that without 12x xp. What am I missing?! Good luck & hope to see you again soon.

azudelphi Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 12xp was a nice incentive... too bad it made people feel entitled to that speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the end game is really level 60, and the 12xp was good up till 55, and the gameplay from 1-55 was really what I found interesting. I only have one level 55 character, and that was because I was 54 when I got to Ilum, so I just finished off that last level with the quests there.

Kapono Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 What's the point of leveling if you're not going to play the game? Because I found the leveling process the most fun, particularly when I got to enjoy the storyline, rather than the 100000 side quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapono Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Which would in turn mean you would have cancelled eventually anyway so 12x exp really is not the reason. Huh? I think most people would *eventually* cancel; I've given the reasons why I am. I found the game immensely enjoyable when I had characters to level and 12x xp bonus to do it with. I don't find other aspects of the game all that fun, so I'm not going to continue to pay to play. The drama you're looking for isn't here, I promise.

dscount Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Because I found the leveling process the most fun, particularly when I got to enjoy the storyline, rather than the 100000 side quests. DING! Winner! I too really enjoyed actually seeing the storyline in a shorter period of time. I had forgotten half of them since previous leveling was very long period of time. I too hate side quests with a passion and thought when our XP legacy boosts came out we wouldn't have to do them (was sort of advertised that way). Nope.. still had to do them until 12x hit.

Sounds like you want a single player game and here you are playing an MMO. There are plenty of single player games with robust storylines that don't require a subscriptions to play.

Essence_of_Light Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Goodluck on your future endeavors, OP! Oh, and props for not resorting to throwing a fit. I've seen many people who end up leaving screaming and crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLynkes Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) I can perfectly understand that playing the class story is what kept someone in the game, it is the aspect of the game that many people feel is SWTOR at its best. However, it is a little naïve to start one of those "I'm leaving! And here's why..." threads and then claim you don't want drama. These threads by definition are a dramatic slam of the door on the way out. Someone who isn't looking for drama simply leaves quietly without making a scene. Because this sort of thread always causes a scene, as it acts as a magnet to people who feel they must defend the game. But anyway, no worries. Glad you enjoyed it while you did, maybe you'll be back some day. Edited December 17, 2014 by PLynkes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teclado Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Because I found the leveling process the most fun, particularly when I got to enjoy the storyline, rather than the 100000 side quests. There are many that would agree with that, myself included. I got tired of the side quests after about the third time doing them. I'm not sure if you are into pvp warzones at all, but that's what keeps me interested in endgame for the most part. Crafting is pretty fun too.

I'm sure I'll resubscribe eventually, but I felt it was a good idea to provide my feedback on why I was - I do hope they'll re-implement the 12x xp bonus in some fashion and give us more character slots, because that was really, REALLY fun. I'm not angry or anything, but I guess a lot of people who leave are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayseven Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It's sad that people use the removal of the 12x experience as an excuse to leave. Simple fact: The 12x experience was created to allow subscribers who pre-ordered to get characters up to level 55 while enjoying the class story lines in preparation for the SoR expansion. In that aspect, it did it's job perfectly. Sadly, it also created all these "bring it back" posts from people who want everything for nothing and use excuses to deflect their actual desires. You can easily do just the story lines without doing side quests using many mechanisms already in place. Experience boosts, rested experience and tactical flashpoints work wonders but involve more effort than just doing the story line. I'm not surprised that people took what was stated in advance as a limited time thing and twisted it to try to keep their "easy button" but it'd be nice if these same people would give their audience credit and just tell it like it is instead of using it as an excuse.

You also can write a personal message to Eric and I am sure he will pass your concerns onward. When you post it in general forum.... meh... just looks like you want attention or are punching your 15 minutes of fame ticket.

I only do storyline now on all of my new alts, but without any exp boosts. Instead I just do flashpoints and heorics since I like doing group content. It works fine without having to do any of the side quests. Edited December 17, 2014 by tharbison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalfear Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 12xp was a nice incentive... too bad it made people feel entitled to that speed. yup Things I take exception with OP post more character slots???? I have 17 character slots and can still get more so how many does he need? Or is it he wants more FREE Character slots Talks like 12x XP was a entitlement rather then a promotion Says he doesnt care about end game but that seems counter productive to me. if he truly doesnt like End game then why would he want to rush through the leveling content with 12x XP?? Skipping 80% of the planetary content along the way I say OP is exactly the type that made the 12x XP so bad a promotion. Guarentee you he leveled up fast, didnt understand class and had crap gear and was "one of those types" queueing into GF and expecting everyone else to carry his lazy butt through the content. But I will agree with him on one thing. Its really sad that 3 years in and they STILL dont bother asking you why you are cancelling your subscription. We all know they dont give a flying bleep but come on, at least pretend you Care EA. Would a simple form for players to provide feedback when cancelling a subscription really be so bad a idea???? I know for a fact this has been asked for by players since this game went live. From day one there were requests for this option to provide feedback on why someone was leaving.

Of course people quit MMOs for many reasons, some even trite and silly IMO, so no MMO developer is going to halt the machine and jump on every reason given by every player. In other words... holding ones breath would be a waste of time. Edited December 17, 2014 by Andryah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
