I quit every night.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Can I ha...
...wait.
Welcome b...
...hmm.
Hi Marcian. Nice day, isn't it?
I've been quitting since '04.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Who said that i was that scary! ಠ_ಠ
City of Heroes has no damn right to be so fun. No right at all. A six year old MMO that endured its share of studio drama does not retain people this well.
Maybe I should open up a snow shoveling business. In hell.
Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider
Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.
I quit, but came back for the new Halloween mission.

Thats one of the problem with a MMO.
You simply are not going to satisfy all of the people all of the time. Its up to each individual to find what makes THEM excited to play and if you can no longer find that reason then maybe its time to move on and try something else. I think CoX tries to really give people what they want.
Im pretty much here until they turn the servers off.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
A great guildmate and friend from another game, a long time ago in a... blah blah blah..., once taught us all the great benefit of quitting.
Every single time that guy quit (Not the game, but any task, mission, effort, attempt at anything) success finally came rolling in.
It can't really translate so well in words... but, you know how it is... a hypothetical example... That Task Force debacle where it's just you and a group of underpowered closest friends throwing every single thing you have at an AV and you just can't win... But you keep trying, over and over and over...
Finally, after exhaustive efforts... My friend declares he is QUITTING!! It can't be done!
Suddenly we win, lickitysplit. He wouldn't leave/quit... but we found the trick was to truly lose all hope/belief that this will be a successful run. Give up. Surrender. Quit. It is the key to success... O.o
Such things, in various circumstances happened time and time again.
We all have carried that to various ventures with our own lives (we all still keep in touch)...
And the words, "I QUIT" sound, to us, like the horn of Gondor, leading us on through our mortal pains through impossible odds towards triumph over the evil that sets to destroy our world.
Quitting has magic far beyond our ability to understand!

I'm unlikely to quit. Only way a company has ever gotten me to leave their MMO is telling me that they don't want me and that they don't care whether people are injured or die as a result of their proposed policies. Other than that, as long as the game stays fun, I'm good, and I don't see it ceasing to be fun anytime soon.

Without the Incarnate Damage Boost equipped: average damage 72.87
With the Incarnate Damage Boost equipped: average damage 76.47
Look out, States and LR! There's a NEW Incarnate in town, and he's gonna... Hey, stop that laughing. Come on, you guys! Seriously!
On the other hand!
I leveled up the 3rd build this morning and slotted just two damage SOs in the attacks and damage auras, and then slotted extra taunts and slows and holds and whatnot where appropriate, and that did turn out kinda cool, as he still had the standard 3 SO damage output but also got some extra (if not particularly dramatic) effects added in. In that regard, putting the Damage Boost in the Alpha Slot proved to be, shall we say, something of a diversifying enhancement for that tanker.
On his main build, however, with various IO *sets* providing various bonuses, the Damage Boost isn't quite as handy. The recharge boost would probably work better there.
Anyway, I guess that's why they gave us that 3rd build, eh?

Oh, that does it. I quit.
Bad news, Marcian. You're the only one who actually pays $15/month to play the game. The rest of us have been playing for free all this time.
It's all a plot to slowly drain your bank account and break you.
P.S. - There are five lights.

Well if Marcian's quitting then I'm quitting too!
Hey everyone, I'm back! What's changed in the game since I've been gone?
