Same. For me, it has always been about the elements of the game that I find interesting & fun and sharing that gaming experience with the good people I team with.
Whether the experience has been running through content 1-50 on both sides many times, a painfully long Shadow Shard TF, a PL, a farm, reading the in-game channels and having a chuckle or just standing around chatting with friends etc. - it's been a fun time.
I joined my first (and only) MMO - CoH shortly after launch and took a break before CoV release. I remember leaving a City of Heroes. My curiosity drew me back to try City of Villains but I returned to what felt like (to me) a Suburb of Heroes/Villains. Great in-game friends from all parts of the world kept me here in lieu of the bustling zones I left.
Regarding recent developments: I do not agree with the way situations have been handled in the game as of late (e.g. disregarding player feedback on PvP, MA punishments). Seemingly random temporary account bans and character deletions may be the perogative of the Devs and their GM's, but voting with my wallet is mine and I have chosen to also unsubscribe my account with several of my close friends.
I agree with Pum's very well written post however I don't have much faith in improvement on the part of the Devs - and to be blunt, I'd rather join my friends in another community. PS Pum - going to miss those great TF's you run!

The only reason I log into this game at all now is to talk with friends. My friends (you know who you are) have made this game the most enjoyable gaming experience of my gaming career. If it wasn't for all of you I would have unsubscribed long ago. While I understand the pain associated with friends parting ways, I know that if we really want to continue a friendship outside of this game; it's more than possible. Skype, Teamspeak, Ventrillo, Yahoo and MSN messenger, just to name a few - Im on all of these. If you want my details, all you have to do is PM me.
Unfortunately, I wont re-subscribing any of my accounts. The only good news for my friends is that my main account has been pre-paid and doesn't run out for quite some time. As Ive stated in previous (possibly deleted) posts:

I cannot believe wtf is going on here. The dev's are temp banning people and deleting their toons on a whim. We cant even openly discuss the matter 'coz its against the forum rules. Posts are being deleted. Threads are being locked or deleted.
Kinda makes me happy that Ive unsubscribed all of my accounts. [u]NCSoft will never get another cent out of me.[u]
