Yea, I quit the limbus-shell BlueLagoon. Yesterday was my last run with this shell which I was in for more than three years!
There are reasons why I left.. there are a few..
Firstly the mood in the shell slowly started to fall. Well, maybe it was just me who thinks that. But when every third phrase contains something like "you smell", "you noob", "f*** that", or similar then it's really depressing.
Yesterday was "gather-time" at 20:00 (for me) I was there at 20:03 (the twitter trivia hold me up), said "Hello", got a "Hello" back and then it was silent till about 20:20.. Not much chat at all, just silence... then a quick note what we're going to do (Temenos North), building groups and after this silence again~
Oh well.. maybe it was just me. But really.. this was soooo depressing.. and it's happening for many many runs already...
Secondly it's the thing with the equipment, the proto-gear. A few people in the LS already said this SURLY was my main reason etc. but that's not true at all.
To be honest, it helped me to quit, but let me explain what I mean with that equipment-issue:
The rules sais, that you have to set priorities on the five equipment-parts a proto (Omega or Ultima) can drop. For each Limbus run you get a point. Now, when we have a run with a proto-fight, we check which people do have highest priority and if there are more, it's about the points.
So far so good, not an overall bad idea.. But... I made a little mistake three years ago and ended up with my last Nashira piece (Body) as a priority 3. I couldn't change it anymore since I used all other on the rest of the gear, I must stay there at that 3. And many, many people went between me and my last Nashira piece.. many times..
In the end now I left with the second highest points, but only 4/10 equipment-pieces (I was not allowed to lot homam because I don't have any job for it). The person with the highest points already has 10/10.
BUT now to explain why it is not my main reason: I don't need the body really anymore. When I once will quit FFXI (it will slowly start with the release of FFXIV) I won't need the Nashira body anymore. And also all the other equipment etc.
So I don't really care about getting it or not.
But the fact, that the person who was in the shell the longest (yes I was), and has second highest points (don't know how the other one could get that much more) but does not own 5/5 of a set shows that there's something wrong and unfair.
And now the main reason why I finally left.. well, it's a combination with the first and second reason.
It simply didn't make any fun anymore.
I only play FFXI for fun. To have a good time with a few friends, to enjoy something else and do something together.
And really, the fun was out for me. The last few weeks were a MUST for me to go there. And if you must do something which is depressing and unfair, you don't really have fun doing it right?
So I only saw the quit as the best solution.
I am sorry for all the people in the shell which I disappoint with this. But with all these things together, I bet they would have done this long before me already. I was patient, helped where I could (as sub-leader and even part time main-runleader!) but it's over now.
For all people of BlueLagoon reading this:
Thank you for the time. I met a few great people there. At least at the beginning I also gladly joined and helped on every run as much as I could. Maybe we'll meet again. Don't try to get me back, it won't help. And also don't quit because I did. Take your chance in lotting gear and enjoy being there.
And what now with me and my Limbus experience? I already got an invite to another shell long, long ago and will now join this one now. I know many people there and I am sure, I will find the sought fun in this new beginning.
In case anyone wants to know anything more about my reasons, feel free to leave a comment and I'll answer you. |
