A longer explanation
Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2014 6:02 pm
I realized that my initial post was a bit too abrupt, and that quitting without explaining was going to leave many people with unanswered questions. Here is the full story on why/how I quit…
On November 25, I was kicked out of Seed for being too casual of a player, which is an accurate description of how I play. You look at Seed and wonder why they're on top? It's not just that they have high leveled players. It's because they have people that diligently time, camp, and organize groups for every rewarding boss.
I was not that kind of hardcore player. I rarely camped, sometimes attended boss fights, and never timed. Thus, I got the boot—fairly. Seed deserves to be where they are today because of the work they put into killing bosses. Gearing non-contributing players like me would be unjust to the players that spend hours each day camping bosses.
Despite accumulating a vast wealth in game, progressing any further required investing too much time and effort. Hours of monotonous leveling, even with my excellent gear and bountiful supply of lixes. And all for what, when I reached 190? More hours of monotonous camping.
I play games for enjoyment only. When I realized that CH was becoming more of a chore than a diversion, I knew it was time to put it down. Making alts was also boring to me. Though faster to level, it was still just more grinding.
I gave away all my items to ensure I wouldn't come back, and instead focus on real life pursuits. My in game friends enjoy this game far more than I do and would benefit from having my items. But CH isn't for me.
Since I no longer play the game and will probably be inactive on this forum, I resign as a guide. Any admin reading this, feel free to take away my blue name and title. I also nominate Criminal as my successor.
I hope you all have a grand time with the upcoming winter event and new engine!
