Normally, I don't come off so much insulting as condescending, which I don't mean either. Normally, people who seem condescending are used to leading and/or would like their opinions appreciated or understood, or they need to feel their input is valued.

Well, I wouldn't have found it insulting.

I'm pretty good at these things, but often come off as callous when guess people out.

You're self concious about being 'a quitter' or seen as one. Even if I don't see you that way. You don't seem overly concerned about losing the game, but I could be wrong about that too, but you SAID that in the first post.

Most people go through a realignment in their life from time to time, and their time needs changed. People also change video games, for that matter, and there supposed to be a new FF mmo for casual gamers coming out, I might add. Anyway, I think most people who needed to bow out of a game like this would feel a little self concious about being seen as a quitter. I was right up front, I RESPECT YOUR RIGHT TO STOP PLAYING. Not as in I don't agree with you, or anything like that. I have no idea why you need more time, or maybe you just got into too many games. It doesn't matter. Most people who play long enough at whatever, will have to quit from time to time.

Anyway, if you need to quit because of time constraints don't talk about how your nation is losing. Actually, I don't care, just don't get ticked at me for assuming you don't have time to play a loser. Actually, even that I don't care deeply about. But, obviously, I'm human, so I'd prefer you not think ill of me, when I was trying to be nice and help you get some enjoyment out for something you clearly love.

Really, some people are troll. Often its people who are... cynical that are trolls, and if you work at it, you can see their humor. Some people bumble into problems (maybe I did), and sometimes people are don't actually want to be understood, especially online, were they might want to be more incognito than it really feels in the end.

Good luck.
