Over the years, I'd have many friends quit this game, all for varying reasons. However, I shall never quit this game until the day it shuts down for a few reasons:
1. It would be unfair to my friends who play
There's nothing worse than having your friend quit one of your favorite games. Having played online games for most of my life, I have dealt with this multiple times, and it sucks. I remember when my old Halo: Reach squad split up, it was awful.
2. It would be doing a disservice to the community
Even if I quit actually playing the game on a competitive level or stop due to RSI, I can still do various other things to help out, like modding, mapping, and guiding/coaching new players. Letting that potential go to waste would suck.
3. To show appreciation and loyalty to peppy's excellent game
Even if I do grow sick of this game, I'll still never forget all the good times I had. As such, I will always stay active till the day the servers shut down, as an act of loyalty and thanks to peppy.
4. I like to see all the plays and things the community comes up with
I really like seeing the interesting maps mappers create, especially the aspire ones, and I can admire the skill of a good play any day. That's the main draw that gets people hooked: wanting to be as good as their "idol."
