think it may be time to say goodbye to STO

After 3 years of putting up with so much DCing and innumerable other problems with STO...problems that have just kept getting worse for 3 years now... I am going to take this afternoon off of game to calm down and then decide if it is even worth logging in ever again. If I decide it is NOT worth it, I would like to take this opportunity to say good bye to all my STO friends... the ones still left in game that is since 90% of the folks I hae called friends in STO got fed up long ago and left. And with the look of the public ques in the last month, I believe STO's demise is on the horizon: thus my concern over whether or not I should waste any more time with it.

Sadly, if I go, I will either give my massive resources and goods to in game friends if I don't just scrap it all: I'm not sure I want to get blamed for encouraging any one else to stay for such frustrations... since such an act would be somewhat antisocial in my opinion.
Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.
However I do know of your frustrations OP, I started playing a while before LOR launched. Back then I ran most available PVE's on max settings, no problems.
Now conversely I am battling every day just to keep the game running. I basically have to play around crashes, plan for them and attempt endless workarounds and fixes.
I love this game, and my friends I have made in it. I am also the leader of an alpha maxed out fed fleet and a near maxed kdf fleet.
I have moments of similar frustration but in those instances I log out, grab me a cold one and chill out for the evening.
My love for the game, The fleets I lead and the friends and members in those fleets, as well as the insane amount of money spent in this game always give me cause to log in again tomorrow. It's also always in the back of my mind how many people invested their time and money into the growth of our fleets and I feel a responsibility to give them a good return on thier investments.
I'm also ever hopeful to have those days of game stability back again.
I see no doom in the immediate future for STO, there are still so many people paying for and playing this game its got plenty of life left in it yet.
And strangely enough for some reason I really don't want to ever leave the game unless forced to somehow until the lights one day in the distant future really do go out. I want the Delta 1 fleets to be there until the very end
A long ramble I know, and not the sort of thread I usually comment on but in this instance I feel a pang of empathy.
Take a break dude, then come back fresh and hopefully a few of the problems you're having may have been sorted.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
If the game is more frustrating than fun for you then it does make sense to stop playing.
I only get the DCs when the DDoS attacks are in progress, at which point I quit and come back in an hour.
Star Trek Battles member. Want to roll with a good group of people regardless of fleets and not have to worry about DPS while doing STFs? Come join the channel and join in the fun!

Well... if you actually still believe the DDoS "person" still exists, then I admire your faith...since I personally believe it is a smoke and mirrors thing as it seems to happen at the exact times ninja server work is going on.
This being said, I agree with almost everything said by Groomofwierd and will take the afternoon...or even a week off and see if I still want to pursue this after that. I do love the game when it is working wel... and there are still the remaing 10% or so of the players that used to be in game before ARC.I just get SOooo tired of getting ripped off for rewards, etc. lol
Enough of this tho... didn't mean to be whining... just very fed up. Have to make a point before logging off for Superbowl, tho: did they really need to put those silly traces at EVERY starbase...?

No, when we have our community manager confirming DDOS attacks on the servers(not right now, but recently), that is definitely not a problem on our end.

to future quitters just say goodbye to your fleetmates and go, enough with the quit threads, nobody cares.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
The title of this thread makes it pretty clear what it is about, and you say you don't care if someone is quitting, yet you still *chose* to click on it. You can't blame the OP for that, only your own lack of self control.

With added conspiracy theory.
DDOS attacks are obviously for real, they effect all players.
Other issues are on the player end. If people are getting constant lag or disconnects then they have PC or Internet issues. The game runs just fine.
so by that logic its cryptics lack of self control when they come here to close the thread, I don't think so.
I come here to send the message to future quitters, doubt they will take any notice sadly, they are too full of their own self-importance to believe this message is directed at them.
like we should all go wailing through the halls at the thought they might quit.
besides its the best laugh I've had all day.

Nope, that is a logic fail. Cryptic(or the mod) is doing their job closing threads that break their "rules". You are willingly choosing to click on a thread you claim you don't care about and don't need to see. So again, that is due to your own lack of self control, not the OP's fault.

so I guess the fact that I don't care is echoed by the can I have your stuff posters also, I guess the only people who should read these kind of threads are ones who desperately want them to stay, wont get a lot of views if that is the case.

If they were so concerned about Necro Threads they would develop auto close scripts that would read last post date and if > 31 Close.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Seriously though, each person who quits at this point in time citing disconnects or lag is only boosting the ego of someone who actually doesn't care whether you stay or not - all he cares about is ruining the fun/relaxation of the gamers who happen to play the games running on a particular server. If everyone who plays STO and Neverwinter thought like this and acted then the games will go down, but it will be because we let them go down by our ignorance.
As has been said in other threads, there are reasons why the whole situation is being kept quiet and why we don't get a blow by blow account of what is happening - for those not sure what this means, any info here is in the public domain and can be spread by anyone who reads it.
If you still leave then that is your choice but it isn't the attacker you are hurting, or even really Cryptic but your Fleetmates and all the other people you interact with in STO. Without you, the fleet will progress that little bit slower and some STF's you might have taken part in will be failed because you are not there. Queues tend to fill when people join them - it's just that sometimes the most popular ones get filled simply because someones in there or in the case of ISA people want to check DPS or build validity and this seems to be the benchmark.
