Yep, yet another "So long suckers" thread. I just canceled my account, and since the devs want people to adress why they quit, here is what I put in my survey during canceling my account. (yes you have to ****ing answer a survey to be allowed to cancle...Sheesh)

Star Trek Offline.... The Final straw. These are the continuing disconnects of the Starship Cryptic. Her ongoing mission, to explore strange new bugs, to seek out new ways to waste your day and new flaws, to boldly go where no online player will ever go.
*taaaata ta taaa ... ta taa taaaa* Hums the stng anthem.
This game is like a ****** pve game, with a chat bar. I had HIGH hopes for this game, but as it stands, there are only four missions - repeating it self over and over and over again. From level 1 - to endgame.
Kill 4 of that. Go find one thing, then 4 more of that same god damn thing. Scan 5 of that thing. Go ask that and that and that dude this and that, then go back and answer a ****ing quiz about the boorig TRIBBLE you just hammerd "next next next" to get over.
Was fun to blow stuff up, and fire torps for about 1 week. I find Minesweeper to have more varity.
Go back to DAO mate, its a great singleplayer game with intricate story, I play it myself, now that Return to Ostagar is released even more content there. Then return back to STO and you will like it again possibly - if you play only one game for too long, it gets boring, just play various games and genres and you will be okay.
LoL i gotta laugh at the ppl who flame guys or gals that post there leaving. Any1 that thinks this game is the best thing since sliced bread are living in there own personal little timeline world.
Just because this game has the star trek name and has the general look & sound of star trek i.e. the ships (Also not very many ships) DOES NOT make it star trek.
I bought a lifetime subscription based on the vague information that was given regarding the game and in the end it boils down to basically being sold a lie.
lets take exploration as an example.
1) you scan an anomaly
2) your taken to an instance
3) a) Defeat x amount of squadrons (rinse repeat x3 mission complete)
b) beam down kill x amount of squads ( rinse repeat x3 mission complete)
c) Scan x amount energy readings in space or ground (rinse repeat x3 mission complete)
THIS is NOT Exploration.
Then theres the biggie, 5 man groups. Yeh nice one.
Give us the facility to have over 150 members in a fleet BUT DO NOT give us the facility to group any more than 5 ppl in a group. Then have the cheek to call it a RAID group.
Whats clear to me is that the ppl that are doing the flaming and giving this game great write ups or saying thats its great are the carebear players that have drifted from other games that required some gaming ability and required some thought in order to master.
So it might be an idea to stop with the flame posts when sum1 says there leaving and just get on with playing your roleplaying sim that is STO
WoW - Kill 20 of these things. Click the glowie. Fight through 20 things to click the glowie. Make the glowie. Equip the glowie. Tell Fardilian Needleweenie you have the glowie.
Run Raids for epic glowies, again and again and again. BE the glowie.
The end.
They are all repeaters, all of them. Wasn't a single new mission in WoW until BC came out with bombing runs. Then there was one. People didn't focus on the glowie back then as a problem, and people still play for the glowies today. 11 million of them.
When they finally kill the Lich King, all 11 Million will turn into Zombies and eat us all. Maybe they already are Zombies...
Have you hugged your WoW Zombie today? Don't click the glowie!
Uncancel your sub, and wait 3 more weeks, and see what happens. If it still sucks, don't eat those Big Macs next week. There, 15 buck redeemed.

I'm confused. You're the one being insulting, and yet accusing other people of flaming?
Hi, Kettle. This is Pot calling. I... I don't know how else to tell you. You be black. I should have tried to find a better way, but baby, it's the truth.
Honestly, if you're that upset with the game, that's certainly your perogative. I wish you the best of luck in finding something better for you, the same as I do everyone that leaves no matter what the reason. I make light of the situation, because everything's a joke to me - and some people like the OP post such ridiculous claptrap that I can't help but laugh.
It's like a roadmap of how to leave on an immature note, by trying to be as witty and clever as possible without realizing that not everything needs to have a punchline, or that the statements being made are anything but juvenile foot-stampings.
...Kinda like your post, to be honest, though I'll give you a few more points for actually attempting to handle it in a mature fashion (though ultimately failing - that's fine, happens to the best of us, especially when we have an emotional investment into the topic).
Still, because I mean it, I'm going to say it again: I hope you find what you're looking for, and I'm sorry that this isn't it. There were probably a million better ways for you to get your negativity out, but frankly, that's your business, and you have the right to get it out in any way you feel appropriate.
Just like I'm allowed to point and laugh at the results.
At least theres sumthing epic to get in wow and i can group with more than 5 ppl. lets get into sto and pick up sum purple polaron weps and do exactly the same dmg as standard phasers. The stuff legends r made of.
granted with most mmos they'll have teething probs at launch but when there are problems in almost every aspect of the game then ppl are well within there rights to show there disappointment and leave if they so wish.
LoL i gotta laugh at the ppl who flame guys or gals that post there leaving. Any1 that thinks this game is the best thing since sliced bread are living in there own personal little timeline world.
Your tirade would have made better sense if:
1)Anyone had actually flamed the OP; no one did.
2)Anyone has ever actually claimed this game is the best thing since sliced bread; no one has said this game is the best game out there.
So, since your little rant had nothing to do with anything anyone has said in this thread, I guess you just kneejerked and responded, thinking that you knew what was going on and thus have proven yourself completely clueless. There is nothing I can say that would make you look more foolish then you've already made yourself look. Congratulations sir! You have bested me by besting yourself!

In your case instead of L2P it is L2R.
2nd, 3rd & 4th post r flames. (mind the door on the way out, attention seeker, go back to DAO)
Next time read all the posts instead of you yourself looking for an excuse to rant, at the same time confirming yourself as 1 of the aforementioned carebears thats looking for an easy game in order to make yourself appear uber.
wow comparing STO to WoW...first off u have to realize STO is a new game, just starting. WoW has been around for 5-6 years (dont know exact launch day) and in many ways they are very much alike yes, including the repeat of similar type of missions. But i see alot of potental for STO, as do many others.
And the lil survey at the end is so they know why you left, so they can improve it for the rest of us so i guess i should say thank u for doing the survey, and hope anyone who leaves finds what they are looking for.

As poster #2, I take offense. While I wasn't exactly polite (a character flaw that I've given up apologizing for), to call my statements 'flaming' per se is a bit of an exaggeration, sir.
...My second post in this thread, well, you've got me dead to rights. But my first one? I was being sincere, if a bit comical.
I'd comment further, but I've decided to (against my initial desires) to attempt maturity in the matter. A fact I'd like to add is not a jab at you, but more at myself.

Hi, Kettle. This is Pot calling. I... I don't know how else to tell you. You be black. I should have tried to find a better way, but baby, it's the truth.
Ah, you're allowed to call people "attention seekers" and mock their grammar, but if anyone calls you on it they're being insulting? I see.
Sure, he was a bit insulting. So were you. Thing is, you started it .

Sure, he was a bit insulting. So were you. Thing is, you started it .
I'm curious as to where, specifically, I stated anyone was an attention-seeker. I admit, it's possible it could have been inferred, but having gone through a review of my posts in this thread... I'm not exactly sure where. Which, I suppose, is the problem when you infer - you may occasionally apply more and different meanings to things then were originally intended.
I'm going to again point out I was not exactly polite, however I was sincere in my first post (and again, the second was most definately trolling of a sort). Perhaps I could have cut some of the humor out, but it hadn't occured to me that it would be so horribly misconstrued.
Could we, perhaps, be a bit more specific here? I can think of one bit, in particular, that may have come off as insulting (unintentionally - but that doesn't change the fact it can be viewed that way), but the rest... That has me confused as to where most of the miscommunication is.

i havent flamed any1 champ. My opinion which i am perfectly within my right to post here just as you have in a not so mature way (Pot kettle remark) is that any1 who considers this to be a viable and challenging game at this time is a CAREBEAR, or if you believe carebear is too harsh then how about this.
Sum1 who plays every game they get on easy mode.
this game has (very possibly HAD) great potential. yet it seems any1 who voices an opinion along the lines of this game is bad has there post compared to in your words "Claptrap"
take for instance the 1 hard element this game had the Infamous Hostage Ship. i and many others i know disabled that ship and completed that mission on the first attempt.
Within a couple of hours there are multiple posts on how overpowered it is. Cries of Nerf echoed all through the STO forums so cryptic flip the easy switch. the carebears rejoiced. I personally put a couple phaser on auto and and watched sum tv.
I'm not on these forums to flame ppl, i like to come here find out whats new with game and get other ppls feeling on the game. If my comments r taken as a flame then they need to be re-read.

I can confirm u did not call the OP an attention seeker :P
Hm .. this thread got out of hand. Just wanted to state what I felt this game was lacking from my point of view. I am sorry if my thread in anyway offended anyone.
I hope you all have a wonderful time playing this game, it just simply didnt live up to my expectations. . And thus i decided to cancel. I think its a fair assumption, that posting in forums why players decide to cancel their game, so that the devs can see what needs to be adressed and/or fixed.
And im also sorry if my bad grammar at points in anyway makes anyones internal organ suddenly burst open, and kill you by way of internal bleeding, and excrushiating pain
I can confirm u did not call the OP an attention seeker :P
Well, at least we can agree on that part. Though I think we're going to have to agree to disagree otherwise - you're coming off as very abrasive in your posts, in general, and somewhat accusatory and insulting. That's the definition of 'flaming' I've grown accustomed to, and thus I'm going to have to state that in my humble opinion, you're as in the wrong as the people you're accusing.
And thus, Pot-Meets-Kettle.
I never stated at any time that you were not allowed to state your opinion - infact, I'm rather confused as to how you even got that out of my second post (where I admit to being rather condescending, and repeatedly mentioned that fact as this thread has continued). I do remember pointing out that you have every right to state your opinion in the fashion of your choosing, as did the OP, but that I also had the right to state my opinion on the manner in which you chose to do so - that it was juvenile, and immature. And a generally terrible way to go about expressing your negativity.
You constantly attack people and saying that anyone enjoying the game is a 'carebear' (your term, not mine), and enjoys everything on 'easy mode' (again, your term, not mine). Infact, I'll even help you out with finding that.
any1 who considers this to be a viable and challenging game at this time is a CAREBEAR, or if you believe carebear is too harsh then how about this.
Sum1 who plays every game they get on easy mode.
Your statement in full. It's an insulting accusation, without any idea of what the people you're insulting may actually prefer. You could have stated that you found the game too easy for your preferences, and I don't think anyone would have said anything about it - instead, you chose to insult everyone that actually does find any sort of enjoyment in the game. Your choice of wording and phrasing made it an accusation.
The only thing I'm accusing you of, sir, is being an immature prat. Something that I think you've done a grand job of providing me evidence for. Yes, dearie, you have the right to state your opinion on the game. And I have my right, once again, to laugh in your face, pat you on the head, and tell you that the grade school is down the street. Which is my opinion of your opinion.
...For the record, yes, that does count as a direct insult and personal attack.

S'all good, mate, though perhaps you should have been as tactful in the OP as you have been here. S'the only point I've been trying to get at for the last little bit, and I'd personally like to apologize for the de-rail specifically into that direction.
Though, other then my first (again, totally sincere; If the humor was out of line, you have my most humble apology), none of my posts have been directed your way in specific. I'm pointing it out because I have, in the past, been rightly accused of poor aim when going on a diatribe, and I wanted to be absolutely clear that there's no hard feelings.
EDIT: Faux pas on my part, merci. I did point out in one section that I found the original post, in it's format, rather juvenile and unnecessarily sarcastic. So, I was incorrect in my earlier statement that I didn't direct further posts (or segements of posts) your way. My bad! Apologizing for the mistake, but since I meant what I said... well, I find it pretty silly to apologize for things I meant. I can say, however, that I probably could have been less of a jerk about it (potentially - I'm an TRIBBLE, I'll admit it, and while I have the potential to be nicer the chances of it happening are extremely unlikely; More my fault then anyone else's), and possibly worded it more tactfully myself.
Yep, yet another "So long suckers" thread. I just canceled my account, and since the devs want people to adress why they quit, here is what I put in my survey during canceling my account. (yes you have to ****ing answer a survey to be allowed to cancle...Sheesh)

Was fun to blow stuff up, and fire torps for about 1 week. I find Minesweeper to have more varity.
No wonder you sold lifetime only pre-release.
Tudelu.
Now, who wants my stuff ?
It's a pity the game isn't to your liking but we can't all be cookie cutter game players I will say though that your survey reply was humorous to say the least and I know I would have enjoyed reading it if I was at cryptic.
I'm personally hoping that I can still get lifetime subscription. As of 2 days ago it still appeared on my account page but I am waiting for my fiance to get paid again to pay for it as I cannot afford it myself.
I agree that repetitiveness is annoying to say the least which is why I do the missions in different orders where possible so that I don't repeat the same mission too soon. I absolutely love the explorer missions but I do personally wish they could add more different mission styles or randomise the count or mix them together.
Hmm, theres an idea. Off to suggestions forum but first I would like to wish you good luck and hope you find something you like, but with a lifetime subscription, come back and check to see the status in a few months. Who knows, it may have improved along the avenues you wanted it to.
Cryptic calls it a raid. It's actually a Heroic Instance. I'm Still looking forward to it.
Turn-Phaser-Shield-EMP-Sweep...
All MMO's have some level of repetition... In wow, before I stopped logging in Raids for me consisted of the following: 1234454544 and repeat until the thing I am attacking is dead or I am dead.
Each login consisted of the following...
1) Log in and do the same dailies I had done for over a year
2) Log in and Kill or die on the same Raid Bosses
3) Sit in Dalaran talking to ppl.
STO has some issues, and some really glaring ones at that... But Cryptic had only 2 years of dev on it, for whatever reasons I dont care about. Its not a sandbox MMO, and I think a lot of people were hoping for that as well. But I came in with no expectations, so maybe I am not as disappointing as some people. I hope, as things progress that a lot of the suggestions and ideas I have seen on the forums come to life. But as long as I am having fun... by whatever definition I have of it then I wont bail. But on the other hand... if your not having fun... then its time to head out....

lol a class act u r not.
i havent attacked any1 or said anywhere that sum1 said i cudnt have an opinion, and calling ppl carebears is not an insult in any way, if sum1 chooses to take it as an insult nothing i can do about that.
its my definition of a particular gaming style. i.e. if its too hard complain, cry, create multiple posts on it being too hard, have all the other ppl with ur (not ur's personally perhaps as i dont know u) type of gaming style join in on the bandwagon and get the game dumbed down as we have seen cryptic do.
from what i am reading from your posts u appear to be a constant contradiction, on the 1 hand saying that u mean no offence yet accept that u usually do cause offence when u post (thereby flaming) as proved by ur final paragraph toward me. As i am sure u will find no quote of a direct attack toward u.
U call me abrasive yet in my posts i have kept them directly geared toward the state of game and ppls right to vent there disappointment or how they r impressed with it. no attacks on any1 other than to say dont flame a guy simply because he posts he's quitting.
can u say the same. my initial conclusion wud be no.

Sorry to hear your expectations weren't met, though, and mind the door on your way out. It's set to 'Stun'.
o7 Good luck finding something that more appropriately floats your space canoe (instead of a boat, get it?).
One more attention seeker bites the dust and frees up server room.
A good day all-round.
I also don't think people want all your Common gear rofl.
P.S
Spell check and Grammar is your friend ha ha

Sum1 who plays every game they get on easy mode.
this game has (very possibly HAD) great potential. yet it seems any1 who voices an opinion along the lines of this game is bad has there post compared to in your words "Claptrap"
take for instance the 1 hard element this game had the Infamous Hostage Ship. i and many others i know disabled that ship and completed that mission on the first attempt.
Within a couple of hours there are multiple posts on how overpowered it is. Cries of Nerf echoed all through the STO forums so cryptic flip the easy switch. the carebears rejoiced. I personally put a couple phaser on auto and and watched sum tv.
I'm not on these forums to flame ppl, i like to come here find out whats new with game and get other ppls feeling on the game. If my comments r taken as a flame then they need to be re-read.
I can confirm u did not call the OP an attention seeker :P
I hope you all have a wonderful time playing this game, it just simply didnt live up to my expectations. . And thus i decided to cancel. I think its a fair assumption, that posting in forums why players decide to cancel their game, so that the devs can see what needs to be adressed and/or fixed.
And im also sorry if my bad grammar at points in anyway makes anyones internal organ suddenly burst open, and kill you by way of internal bleeding, and excrushiating pain
Well, at least we can agree on that part.
And thus, Pot-Meets-Kettle.
I never stated at any time that you were not allowed to state your opinion - infact, I'm rather confused as to how you even got that out of my second post (where I admit to being rather condescending, and repeatedly mentioned that fact as this thread has continued). I do remember pointing out that you have every right to state your opinion in the fashion of your choosing, as did the OP, but that I also had the right to state my opinion on the manner in which you chose to do so - that it was juvenile, and immature. And a generally terrible way to go about expressing your negativity.
You constantly attack people and saying that anyone enjoying the game is a 'carebear' (your term, not mine), and enjoys everything on 'easy mode' (again, your term, not mine). Infact, I'll even help you out with finding that.
Your statement in full. It's an insulting accusation, without any idea of what the people you're insulting may actually prefer. You could have stated that you found the game too easy for your preferences, and I don't think anyone would have said anything about it - instead, you chose to insult everyone that actually does find any sort of enjoyment in the game. Your choice of wording and phrasing made it an accusation.
The only thing I'm accusing you of, sir, is being an immature prat. Something that I think you've done a grand job of providing me evidence for. Yes, dearie, you have the right to state your opinion on the game. And I have my right, once again, to laugh in your face, pat you on the head, and tell you that the grade school is down the street. Which is my opinion of your opinion.
...For the record, yes, that does count as a direct insult and personal attack.
S'all good, mate, though perhaps you should have been as tactful in the OP as you have been here. S'the only point I've been trying to get at for the last little bit, and I'd personally like to apologize for the de-rail specifically into that direction.
Though, other then my first (again, totally sincere; If the humor was out of line, you have my most humble apology), none of my posts have been directed your way in specific. I'm pointing it out because I have, in the past, been rightly accused of poor aim when going on a diatribe, and I wanted to be absolutely clear that there's no hard feelings.
EDIT: Faux pas on my part, merci. I did point out in one section that I found the original post, in it's format, rather juvenile and unnecessarily sarcastic. So, I was incorrect in my earlier statement that I didn't direct further posts (or segements of posts) your way. My bad! Apologizing for the mistake, but since I meant what I said... well, I find it pretty silly to apologize for things I meant.
Again... sorry for not catching that sooner.
It's a pity the game isn't to your liking but we can't all be cookie cutter game players
I'm personally hoping that I can still get lifetime subscription. As of 2 days ago it still appeared on my account page but I am waiting for my fiance to get paid again to pay for it as I cannot afford it myself.
I agree that repetitiveness is annoying to say the least which is why I do the missions in different orders where possible so that I don't repeat the same mission too soon. I absolutely love the explorer missions but I do personally wish they could add more different mission styles or randomise the count or mix them together.
Hmm, theres an idea. Off to suggestions forum but first I would like to wish you good luck and hope you find something you like, but with a lifetime subscription, come back and check to see the status in a few months. Who knows, it may have improved along the avenues you wanted it to.
Had your signature running through my head for the past two hours, for the record. Probably the best scene from the whole play. >.>
All MMO's have some level of repetition... In wow, before I stopped logging in Raids for me consisted of the following: 1234454544 and repeat until the thing I am attacking is dead or I am dead.
Each login consisted of the following...
1) Log in and do the same dailies I had done for over a year
2) Log in and Kill or die on the same Raid Bosses
3) Sit in Dalaran talking to ppl.
STO has some issues, and some really glaring ones at that... But Cryptic had only 2 years of dev on it, for whatever reasons I dont care about. Its not a sandbox MMO, and I think a lot of people were hoping for that as well. But I came in with no expectations, so maybe I am not as disappointing as some people. I hope, as things progress that a lot of the suggestions and ideas I have seen on the forums come to life. But as long as I am having fun... by whatever definition I have of it then I wont bail. But on the other hand... if your not having fun... then its time to head out....
lol a class act u r not.
i havent attacked any1 or said anywhere that sum1 said i cudnt have an opinion, and calling ppl carebears is not an insult in any way, if sum1 chooses to take it as an insult nothing i can do about that.
its my definition of a particular gaming style. i.e. if its too hard complain, cry, create multiple posts on it being too hard, have all the other ppl with ur (not ur's personally perhaps as i dont know u) type of gaming style join in on the bandwagon and get the game dumbed down as we have seen cryptic do.
from what i am reading from your posts u appear to be a constant contradiction, on the 1 hand saying that u mean no offence yet accept that u usually do cause offence when u post (thereby flaming) as proved by ur final paragraph toward me. As i am sure u will find no quote of a direct attack toward u.
U call me abrasive yet in my posts i have kept them directly geared toward the state of game and ppls right to vent there disappointment or how they r impressed with it. no attacks on any1 other than to say dont flame a guy simply because he posts he's quitting.
can u say the same. my initial conclusion wud be no.
To all the people cheering that another subscriber has left: Why would you want people to leave? That will only hurt this game.
This is my hope too that cryptic will improve the game to a level where it shud be. the potential is there it just ahs to be harnessed.
