Day 3... No support on weekends..? I mean who plays on weekends during holiday events right?
Seeing as how Thursday I was getting long awaited rewards from playing and planning and had a little great RNG and timing (that I have yet to enjoy the fruits of..), such as major ship and crew upgrades and blueprints for a new ship that I levelled up on my account (you don't have characters), just in the nick of time to be eligible for when the event rolls around which it did this weekend, I'm inclined to not stop playing.
But events in this game last 1 day on average and some special events like now don't show up but once or twice a year. Combine that with a buggy game and support who gets back to you who knows when. Bad combo. Russian Roulette. This is what gives bad customer support the power to make a person consider quitting.
To keep me in this game it's gonna have to be a Christmas miracle or something close to it (for the record I DID ask gamer Santa plz keep me in the game...) and I can't imagine their support will come up with such a thing - but I can imagine them getting back to me ~ Christmas and me quitting the game long before. Sadly.

I thought about it some more and I reallllly do want to play with my new toys at least once and get some more new toys too... I don't wanna quit.
There is one thing I don't miss, though. Honestly. And that, is, playing with so many angry people. I haven't had so many friends or conversations in a game since CoH but on the flipside of that - there are so many angry people too. Not just talking smack as they pvp but genuinely angry/annoyed people. A person who I talk to daily turned into one of those in the 'war' going on now so it's not just angry people angry by nature it's people who's buttons get pushed by the frustrations of STFC pvp wars when all the rules of engagement go out the window. I focus more on the numbers and crews and progression and have more friends in-game than a long time but I do have to play with a lot of genuinely angry and frustrated people and that part of the game I don't miss.
