Hey folks -
 
So I realized the other day that it's been three weeks since I last played Wildstar, and I can't say I'm jonesing to go back.  Given that's the way I feel, I canceled my subscription and thought I'd leave a little constructive criticism on my way out the door.
 
Wildstar is a good game overall.  The combat system is great, and it's clear that the devs really care about the game.  Leveling up is fun.  And for players who want to buddy up with "hardcore" players to take on challenging group content or PvP content, that does seem to be there.
 
I wouldn't say I'm a "hardcore" player, but I did play almost every day for a while.  I enjoyed the content leveling up, but once I hit level 50, I felt like I slammed on the brakes content-wise.  For someone who enjoyed the solo PvE aspects of the game, there was no content for me.  There isn't much left to explore and little story content.  After you've done the daily areas a couple of times - man, do they get old quick.  The game became a grind and for goals that held no interest for me.  Collecting housing items, while neat, never held enough interest for me to invest heavily in it. 
 
There does seem to be some interesting group content in Wildstar.  Unfortunately, most of those require groups of 5, and I only had two IRL friends who played (who have since also left the game).  The pugs we met often were more interested in getting through the content as quickly as possible to get their raid gear instead of enjoying the content.  Guild search tools never helped me find a guild that seemed like a good fit for me. 
 
Maybe Wildstar was never the game for a semi-casual player like me.  But the end content certainly isn't.  Wildstar's story was never personal or compelling enough to draw me in, and the solo endgame content didn't fill that role either.  When you have to think hard about what you can do as a solo player at level 50, that doesn't encourage you to play.  And now I haven't played in three weeks...and I sadly don't miss the game.
 
I hope Wildstar can find success.  But, from the forums and from my conversations with folks who have left the game, it does seem like there are a lot of players like me.  I realize the game isn't for me as it is now, and move toward the door, I hope leaving a few reasons behind will be constructive to folks.
