For me, I tend to move games with a group of gamer friends. If we leave a game, its likely that we're not coming back because we've gotten fed up with fundamental elements of the game and it is never likely that any game will change that much after release. Couple an already hard sell to having to sell the game again to a group instead of an individual.... yeah we're basically gone for good.
I do the same. It is not my primary reason, of course, because there have been times that I was not sold on a game and did not care to play it when my friends or family did.
Because the notions of holding grudges against or forgiving games is stupid. It doesn't matter if a game used to suck. If you think it might be good now then play it. For all intents and purposes the game is a different one than you remember. If new information isn't enough to interest you then continue to avoid it.
Because im under the impression that no MMO is amazing at launch. WHen swtor launched i said "If i dont like it ill see how it is in 6 months to a year" I do the same for all mmos. The only mmo that looks amazing so far before launch is Archeage because we have no NDA and soo many reviews and videos about it.
Playing: FFXIV, DnL, and World of Warships Waiting on: Ashes of Creation

i agree !
MMOs are a type of game ever in development if it's not great today it may be someday, everybody should know this. Though, terrible releases are no excuse, but if your mmo is running well without gamebraking bugs and serverside problems, it has the potential to be great even if in the actual state the game is dull or lacking content. Go see AoC for yourself, its a good game but it was not in release, not at all.
MMOs don't deserve second chances but many more...
