At the launch of f2p, I actually managed to get my partner to try Wildstar; she had never played any MMO in her life; but loved this game.  The new update was the last straw for her*, she is now walking away from it, as it is not fun any more doing the same contracts or quests; consecutive days in a row.   For me I am tired of the game, playing since the original beta, I have seen the game progressively dying month on month.  While I am not a PvP'r or do raiding, I feel sorry for those players that do; they have (I believe) only had one new raid/dungeon in nearly 2 years.  We can only come to one conclusion, that Wildstar is on life support.
 
The devs have done all they can to keep the beast alive, but sadly it is not enough.  Patching here, tinkering and splicing bits there; is not a good business model for growth.  In the ever more crowded market of MMO's, you need to stay relevant, content needs to be fresh.  2016 is the year that imo Wildstar dies, as frankly there is a whole raft of games that are coming that will swamp this tired dishrag down the sink.
 
Thanks for the good times, but sadly it is time to say goodbye.

			Confused me too..there is an option to enable "Hold to Continue Casting" [HTCC] in the Combat options if you press Escape...	
----
			Yeah, just go to your Options and enable continuous casting. Something got weird during the patch, but one check box and you're back in business.

I believe that the OP is referring to this morning's patch that helpfully unchecked the HTCC function in Input Options.  It's still there, you just have to re-enabled it.

Did we receive some kind of update today or? Haven't read if there are any patch notes.
Was it something big and gamebreaking that happened with the patch that made girlfriend quit or just misunderstanding of continous casting?

I am guessing they changed it, so you have to set this 'HTCC', because I have never heard of it and I myself had the same problem today.  Up until today this has been automatic and no changes to the settings were required by the player.
 
 
Just people rage quitting over non-issues because they are too lazy / poorly mannered to check for themselves or ask when things get updated.
 
Considering that I have been playing since original beta, and the tone of my original post; I'd like you to point out the 'RAGE' that I am feeling at this moment.  I think you're lazy assumptions are more rage inducing than anything the game has thrown at me in nearly two years.  So unless you have anything constructive, I'd consider your advice ignored for the moment.

			Another person points out a problem/says they're quitting, people go into defensive fanboy mode and dog pile on him mob mentality style. Somethings never change.  :rolleyes:

I've been sitting here wondering how I want to phrase what I'm thinking right now, I'll just dump it:
 
OP - sorry to see you go, I hope you are able to find something you enjoy.  Although, I'm having a blast and finding life in the parts of the game that I really enjoy so I feel that is still hope (although, these are all opinions, and some parts of the game are more hopeful than others)
 
Replys - I'm guessing you guys are tired of the constant, "game is dead" posts because you are loving the game like me (I know it kinda cuts me to hear the thrash on something I'm loving).  It just kinda turns me wrong when I see people calling someone out for being lazy or just biting back... it may or may not be true, but it doesn't help anything, if anything it would hurt the chances that op would recommend or come back to the game in the future.  I'm guessing OP didn't have an active guild/group that they played with, and if that's the case, a lot of these settings can be overwhelming and what not.  Either way, I agree, it is a simple fix, but I'm sure there are a lot of people who didn't even know that this setting existed, and so... lets nip it in the bud and make sure everyone is aware that they can re-enable the htcc.  I may be overly optimistic in my outlook for the future, who knows... all I know is I'm having fun and that's why I'm still playing.  If people aren't having fun, I wouldn't expect them to stick around; so I selfishly try to make sure other people are having fun when they are playing with me.
