If you read through the whole thread, you'll see that there are actually 6 people who claim to have left the game already. The vast majority of posts is from people that are saying they HAVEN'T left the game, hehe
Of course, by making the title of the thread "Why did you quit this game ?", the OP can now say that the "leaving thread on TSW forums" is already 13 pages long !
If you have been reading the TSW forums for a month or more, you will also notice that 4 of these 6 alleged "leavers" have been some of the most negative posters since closed beta days. Why they actually bought and played TSW (if they ever did) is a mystery to me.
Haven't quit the game yet but clearly I won't play it long.
Enjoying it for what it is, an online RPG with good immersion. (something SWTOR tried to do but failed miserably imo)
Combat is rather boring and PvP is non existent outside of the 3 BGs (make that 2 since one of them never pops).
There is no open world and the end game is the same old beat to death formula: gear treadmill through raiding.
So I guess the reasons I will quit this are the same I quit every other MMO in recent years: they all use the exact same formula of end game raiding and instanced PvP. Been there, done that...
If I had the skills to learn Korean I'd be all over ArcheAge ASAP, really hope it does make it over here in the next couple of years! I will also be playing GW2, I try my best not to get excited for MMO releases these days as many of the most recent ones have been huge disappointments. I think this is why I like TSW because I went in expecting it to be horrible.
Yeah I love how people get going on the "only" 10 total skill slots in GW2 thing when they have, apparently, no idea how weapon swapping works or anything else. On the other hand, in TSW, I believe, skills can be changed out at will. I don't really see the two game mechanics as being all that different. HOWEVER.....you can like one and not the other. They are different enough that you can certainly prefer one over the other.

Why did you quit this game? - Because i've seen the trailer
gameplay and animations... they really suck and ruin the atmosphere. if you intend to build some solid content like investigations, you have to back that up with cool gameplay.
Not quitting, matter of fact I bought the lifetime after Ragnar's announcement .
I don't spend time looking at my toon while killing stuff or solving puzzles, so I guess that's why the animations don't bother me. And for all of you that never stepped into the game after beta, you would have no idea how much character creation was improved but you can check out the screenshot contest here.
Bought lifetime today as well. Seems there will be enough content coming to keep me for a long time. Nothing else interesting coming out in a year or two anyway.
I actually like the combat and gameplay. Yeah i know they dont hand you a fun build you have to make it yourself, and i know theres people who havent figured out the skill system. Make a good build and you wont complain about combat sucking.
Also the animations are not terrible, this is a very opinionated subject though, i can say any games animations and combat sucks i guess...i wouldnt say animations are over the top flashy but that doesnt make them poor quality.
They had to open a new server already so i guess more people disagree than agree here.
Still playing it and still loving it.
Maybe the game is not for you, it has difficult mechanics and the missions requier you to think especialy the investigation ones. A good general knowledge of myths, legends and code breaking is needed. So if you lack these then the game will be to difficult for you, and if you can't read ability descriptions it will be even harder as you wont be able to make the correct builds.
That was the good part indeed, which i loved...
Its the very simplistic combat, its allways building A finish B. As i said, being in combat for 80% of the time, these 7 abbilities create niche play and single tactics builds, rinse and repeat. I love to have a broader skillpallet. Its not hard to create a good build that works, but they are just not my cup of cake. I love games where real time tactical decissions are a must. And thats just not TSW.
Tough as said before, the quests and setting are probably the most orriginal in any MMO till today. Sadly it was not enough to keep me playing.

Offcourse they can live next to eachother and with eachother..
And as to why i brought up GW2, thats because someone else attacked me with the fact that GW2 combat was the same as TSW combat. And i didn´t even mention GW2 in this whole thread.
Oh and Mister Slickshoes, I also have a Necromancer build with 32 skills, and a 40± skills engineer. many other classes can have much more skills in GW2, not that it matters in this discussion, but just to inform you.
back on topic, i can understand how certain people just love TSW and will allways do aslong as there are stories to live and puzzles to solve. For me the actuall combat was just more important then for them.

I dunno. I find many of the sidequests rivalling the main quests. I got tired of SWTOR in two hours, so I guess to each to his own.
This is nothing, check out this thread from the official forums:
I am leaving this game.
(owing to some glitch when the old forums were archived, the first ~600 posts in the thread are duplicated).
yea, naming a single class and call it the "basic" number of skills in game sounds like an excuse to me
GW2 is NOT about elementalists. it's just one class in the game.
so please bitches, if you wanna talk about gw2, tell us why you stopped playing *G*

I didn't quit the game.
I have been playing (for only a short time, furthest I got was like 20 something ability points) but still has been a pretty enjoyable play experience. Idk how end game will turn out however.
I'll have to wait and see if I make it that far.
This game has been one of the better experiences of recent MMO releases possibly.
its not jsut mmo its any type of game, times we are living games have short life thats how it just is.
Was so looking forward, but box price and sub with cash shop is just taking the piss.

The cash shop has clothes in it. It also has pets as well. Nothing "game-breaking" that I know of.
Doesn't have to be gamebreaking. People can dislike it simply because a sub *should* give you the full monty.
I agree with that up to a point, since I simply wouldn't use the shop rather than not play the game.
EDIT: Which, I know, doesn't quite make a statement towards a developer.
Yup cash shop has lame clothes, in game clothes are far better.
Also there are lame deco pets, birds and such.
Dorky titles...
Oh and fireworks. You can make those in game though.
Also for $5 you can buy serveral items since most cost between $1-$2... with the packaged outfits costing around $10 i think.
Yup a cold hard pay 2 win money grab imo. lol
I would actually use it if the cash shop items were better looking that what was found in game. Or at a minimum they offerd weapon castings so i could craft unique looking weapons or something.
I quit the game before purchasing it because I feel that only a select few games are actually worthy of being Buy to Play + Pay to Play these days. I'm sorry if the game is actually great or something, but it just looks mediocre by todays standards and seems like it would see much greater success as a free to play title.
Really, none of these games are going to provide a better experience than something like say, Skyrim, so you're just paying for the social aspect. That's another complaint of mine and truly a shame though, because MMORPGs are becoming less social with each iteration. I think developers can try to make the games cinematic and try to make them fast paced, but there are so many obstacles to overcome due to the networking that it's not really possible to compete with single player titles in those aspects.
This marks the end of a pointless and completely off topic rant.
If you actually read the thread you'll notice it is a mocking thread, created long before the game even announced any release date (the thread started in 2010) by someone that actually likes the game (after playing it) and that liked the concept back then.
It's a big joke thread. I even think i participated claiming i was leaving due to the lack of real-world advertising, or something like that.
Ive quit playing after two weeks myself ...just not interested in running around looking for quests (just doesn't cut it anymore for me).
