Thread: Leaving for A While Again

Greetings All,


I have to decided to leave the game again for a while for reasons you are all well aware of. We have yet to hear anything substantial about the combat rebalance. There is little content I have not explored. In the end, I refuse to condone SOE's behaviour by giving them more money. Once things have been changed substantially for the better (if they ever do), I may return.


I will be finding good homes for the majority of my rare pets. Though it was fun finding them, many are not creatures I would normally keep in my datapad. They are there for no other reason except their status. I know I have tamed them and have screenshots, so perhaps someone else will give them more playtime than I have.


I wish everyone fun and the best of luck, whether we have had differing viewpoints at not. Please keep up the good fight though the futility must sometimes be unbearable. Whether Riani decides to continue playing is her decision. That's her money. However, she may be giving up BE soon. Therewill belittle need for her to supply me with pets.

Yes, I don't play with you in game, but I always felt your voice, arguments,and concerns were relevant, articulate and well reasoned.


Will miss your commentary.

Greetings,


In light of the recent bannings and Garva's rather causticpost. I have decided I will not return to Galaxies, regardless if, and I do mean if, SOE fixes the game to my standards or not. The damagehas now been done to the point of ireparability. I am glad to be cancellling my account. I will be pulling my account, will lobby to friends to cancel theirs and will ensure none will buy JTL.


Garva, your post pushed the issue to this point. You, as an SOE representative, have shown me how little respect and courtesyyour company has towards its customers, the ones who pay money forthis service andthereby can have ecpectations whether you agree with it or not.This attitudegrieves me deeply.


Garva, I am not criticizing the content of your post. I understand, since this is not a public space, that much of it can apply. I can agree with some of it, but reagrdless, for the monthly fee that is required o play this game, people have right to certain expectations as well. Atleast that is my opinion.


What I am critical of Garva, is the tone in your post, which was unneeded. It bordered upon childishness. What you said was toocurt and rude for my liking. What you said could have been said many other ways which were much more human. You apologhize for that tone in your post, but that makes no difference. It is merely a sad excuse to forgive yourself for what you felt needed saying. Please, if you cannot stand the heat, please feel free to find another job. If I had said anything of that sort to any of my customers, I would have been fired outright. I have dealt with far worse people than you see posting here. There may be times when I may not like my job, but there are enough areas I do like to keep me here.


For me, actions speak louder than words. SOE has been large on words, but not in deed. Garva's post is what hammered the final nail into SOE's coffin for me. The less than dignified attitude has shown me what SOE really cares about, and that certainly is not me.


I will be giving away even the rarest of my creatures, any loot I have acquired, houses and the 7.5 mil credits I have acquired. There will be no more Pem for SOE. I have discussed this with Riani via email and she too is disgusted. She has informed me she will also be cancelling her account. I will be speaking to a friend at camp about this over the weekend and will attempt to convince him to cancel as well.


To my Creature Handler brethren, I have enjoyed my time here and I wish you all the best. In the end, all I feel is that my time and money has been squandered, which was my choice, though in retrospect, I should have left long ago. I hope SOE will someday meet your needs. They will never be able to meet mine.


Fond Farewell,

From one of the few in on launch day:


Great post and came to the same conclusion.


The smuggness and sheer contempt that this company shows for its paying customers is mind boggling.


Good luck to those with more patience than I. I hope this game can one day live up to your hopes!

Pem,


I think you have started what needed to be done months ago. A mass exodus. You are leading not by words but by deeds.


I think I too am heading towards the cancel button.

Enough is enough.

No apology from TH, and then massive deletions and bannings. Don't tell me you are on not on a witch hunt. This looks like a witch hunt this smells like a witch hunt, this acts like a witch hunt.


I guess the only thing missing is the fire. And Garva and TH have finally supplied enough of that to make staying unacceptable.



....and then no matter how hard we get nerfed, we still keep CH because we are still some of the coolest characters on the game.
