No, this is not another of your normal I quit threads.

I did quit, and yes, I already gave away my cash and stuff :)

I wanted to point out to those that still enjoy this game that they should talk to Cryptic about having a more useful cancellation bit. As it stands now, they give you a choice of like 5 broad areas for why you are leaving, and that's it. I think Cryptic, and for that matter, YOU, would be better served if I could type out exactly why I chose to leave and give them feedback. They might have to rifle through a ton of idiots just ranting, but I think they would get some very informative feedback from some as well.

I hope this game gets better, and I hope I can come back and enjoy it, but if those 5 broad choices are all they are using to learn why people are leaving, they are not doing the game any favors.

FYI: I had 3 reason for leaving (3 strikes and you're out!), but had to choose an area that kinda fit just one of those reasons. Did they really get useful feedback?

    I agree. As you note, I expect they'd get a fair bit of nerd rage but I'm sure there would be good insights in amongst them.

    I don't think they can or should aim to please everyone, but if people start citing similar reasons for leaving which are not catered for on the form it's a missed opportunity to address an issue. Good catch!

    Exactly, and you said it so much more eloquently then me :) I'm hoping to come back later this fall and find a game I can enjoy. I want them to get all the feedback they can.

    when i have left other MMO's they always give you a few options to pick, and like yourself my reason for leaving usually falls in between them so i just have to plump for one of them and end up not really telling the developer anything useful

    this is one thing i have against polls in general, they are never as accurate as they appear. picking one option to vote for does not tell you how much more or less important the other options are, or if they missed any options

    there should always be an 'other' option with a box with a small word limit would at least give people who leave the chance to put a few words down to clarify why they are leaving

    OP You are right,
    They don't come close to asking the right questions. But it makes no difference. This game is not repairable.
    I gave all my stuff away and cancelled .

    We appreciate your feedback.
    While this is not the traditional "I quit" thread I am still going to lock it before it starts to really head downhill.
