    You missed one (at 18:13).

    Also: You went from 'I got my 5* Spidey on the first try!' to 'I'm thoroughly quitting this game' in 2 days?

    Furthermore: You're only 658 days away from an IM46 cover! You're almost halfway there! Don't quit now!!!

    I respect anyone with the willpower to do this - if I did maybe I would finally learn that instrument and get around to writing a novel

    Is it really willpower?  This seems more like getting frustrated and breaking your instrument and burning your novel...

    I agree with you. This feels more like a tantrum.

    I'm generally a skeptic, so I'm assuming this was a boxed account anyhow... either from the start or freshly boxed.

    The real frustration will come when the regret rises, he/she contacts customer service to re-establish the roster the day before deletion, only to find out you get back empty slots, and a pile of ISO. Good luck in whatever direction you go, though.

    Actually you kind of hit the nail on the head. I love this game and its just so addicting that I spend like 80% of my time off playing instead of working on my many unfinished screenplays and novels. It's not really a rage quit, (I already changed the title) I just had to do something that would force me to not play so I can spend my time writing.

    Obligatory link to the original, from Emeryt himself.

    Actually yeah, this video was a big inspiration!

    Lol I did re install it in the morning and there's still nothing but tons of ISO and empty slots. Def not gonna try to get them back.

    A friend did the same thing. If your truly remorseful, and want the roster back they may re-establish for you. They did for him. Good luck.

    Hi @MigWorldOrder . It's a saddening moment to see any player decide to leave the game, especially after selling away an extensive roster such as yours.

    Would you mind sharing with us what game aspects were of negative impact to your game experience? We want to do our best to work towards improving the game for all players, and any information you could provide would really help.

    Either way, we wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors, and we hope to see you again someday.

    Hey Brigby! Well actually I love this game. It's a lot of fun and all the latest updates are awesome and I think they have made this game so much more enjoyable. The 'Rage Quit" title was a suggestion from a friend and I have since changed it because I didn't do it out of anger or frustration at all. 

    In fact, the real reason I did it is because I am trying to break my addiction to video games. I made this video in particular because this is my favorite game on my phone and I was really sad to see my line up go as I've worked really hard at collecting my roster. This video is my keepsake so I have a memory of the fun times. 

    I only posted it because I thought people would enjoy watching and cringing at deleting a high roster for laughs. 

    Thanks for all the good times!

    I just couldn't watch anymore... did you play with both the sound effects and the "music"?
    That's enough to drive anyone insane.  Congrats for the decision that you feel is best for you.

    This thread really displays how this game can become such a time sink. Every game can become it, but props to the OP for taking the final solution in  terms of making sure the game is over for you.

    Ahh I see. While it's still sad to see you go, I'm at least glad to hear that it's because the game was too fun, as opposed to too many negative aspects.

    I think it's important for players to make sure they're taking care of their health, both physically and mentally, so it's incredibly brave and strong of you to recognize your addiction and are taking steps to address that. (And providing some entertainment for the community too :D ) 

    PS. You should try taking up music! I play instruments to relax and calm my mind, so perhaps it might help you take your thoughts off of video games. Best of luck!

    Thanks! Yeah I've been having crazy little anxiety attacks knowing it's all gone but they pass quickly. I'm actually concentrating all my efforts toward writing. I'm mid 2 screenplays and a novel. 

    Thanks for the encouragement!
