Formally Quitting Megaten

Topic.

It has roughly been one year since I've started playing Megaten, and for a few reasons I have been finally exhausted of all willpower to play anymore. I will highlight shortly the few reasons.

1). New Crystals

This one is just sheer laziness on my part, but since the new crystals were added I never got around to getting them. This is simply because of how much more effort it is to make higher level crystals. Many people could afford to mass produce them with bulk buying melons and cups. I did not have access to this method because: I do not unload AP into this game like an addiction. I refuse to plasma farm 8 hours a day, 5 times a week like a second job. I cannot solo and parties are a bitch to find to hunt rares to sell.

I managed to get by with mass producing Flamies for so long but with the new patch I cannot bring myself to even attempt getting Nyarlathoteps. Since I do not have the new crystals my damage is severely lacking since I have been gone for the past few weeks/months and everyone else had finished updating their gears, making my Flamie's set lack in damage.

2). New JP Patches

Killed PvE. Sword Infusion is imbalanced as hell. I do not see bad CAVE could be with shooting themselves in their foot but instead shot themselves in the head.

3). Newer FC Sets

It seems we have finally reached the point in the patches where our FCs are getting higher and higher in General damage. Before the bonuses were manageable to get around as the differences between older FC sets were neglible. I have been running around in Green Seraph for about 6 months and I could still do more damage than most people. However, with the new FC armour and new crystals I don't exactly see this happening.

I knew Megaten was and still is a RL Money-based game and was expecting to quit eventually.

Huh, guess the points were longer than I thought. Anyways, in an unspecified amount of time in the future I will delete all posts on this blog because the point of this blog was to keep track of my thoughts and not necessarily to gain popularity with it or something. I'll probably delete everything the next time I make a blog on a different game as I would like to preserve the URL.

As a final point:

Exfm I do not forget the debt I owe you. PM Compact for my email and you can send me something as soon as you want me to pay you.
