I resisted the temptation to pre-order that game and I’m eternally grateful I did.

I never even bought the game in the first place, yet I lost something because of it.

you could’ve just said “wow twitter is whack, yo” tbh because that’s literally it
Yeah I’ll buy anything i want from the store really easily.
Not the cat though, not when the game is in this state.
Go tend to your town center.
I prefer authentic sainur posts.
very true but I prefer a poorly drawn comedy series with a bunch of headless chickens and sanctimonious hypocrites which is what 99% of those ppl are
raurgh god damn capitalism and big companies keeping me down . . .
sees product
I MUST CONSUME
Not going to lie, I buy tons of things off the FF store.
Different characters have different store items.
I WILL

Absolutely lol
Truth is 99% of ppl never cared about the lawsuit but just saw it as a good vent for their unhappiness w/ the game

this became immensely clear the day after the lawsuit dropped when they were already talking about how it’s perfectly compatible to absolutely loathe blizzard for it and not want to support them while still playing and paying

Real talk, how is this a comfort game for people? Like what’s relaxing about logging in and doing world quests in Maldraxxus that take 20 minutes long than they should because every quest has about five hoops you have to jump through like a monkey.
Is this the crowd that’s genuinely excited for solo island expeditions?

I wager it has less to do with the activities themselves and is more about the people. I’m sure we’ve all made friends in this and other games that we simply just don’t play other games with, so you keep playing said game to hang out with those friends. It’s not that strange.

Comfort game is a cope term for ‘i am an addict’

Some people have WoW so integrated in their routine, they don’t exactly what to do without it. For them having a sub, even if they only clock into it like 4-5H a week into it despite doing nothing but dreadful activities in the game is preferable than seeing the orange note saying there’s no sub on this account.
I’ll admit I was one of those, while I did work when my sub was over, having 70% of your time gaming be entirely WoW is really hard to get out of when you’ve got nothing but time.
I’ve been off the game for 3 months, can’t say that there isn’t stuff I miss such as RP or doing Tmogs run with a few pals, but when Discord exists, kinda hard to consider social connections in the game to only be in the game.

If i had to guess, it’s like Clovus says, friends that people still have here. Then it’s rp, which is often an escape from whatever they may have going on irl and is the part least affected by the game itself. And of course attachment to the game itself, which people were playing for years and some even over a decade, which is a hard thing to abandon, especially when at least until a certain point the game was associating with positive vibes. None of these points apply to every single person though, of course.
For me personally it too was a comfort game, but I realised that the best time I had in it can’t be brought back and all the bad changes only serve to further diminish my investment in the game. I quit before the whole debacle happened, so the lawsuit merely solidified that I’m not going to come back any time soon. It was a straw that broke the camel’s back, rather than the root cause of me quitting.
I usually apply the rule of “If you can’t stay away from it for over 6 months, you’re likely addicted.”
However there are people who usually just turn up for expansion launch, stay for a couple of months then dissappear until the next big patch or expansion.
