There's always going to be rage quits. You can't help that, or plan against it. But I had an experience recently on MO1 that might be a common cause of people quitting the game.
I was working up a MA, and I was in a bit of a lull with motivation. I had a Jungle House in mind and I decided to scout with this guy for farming spots. One thing led to another, and ofc I got wasted by a couple of Sators. So low motivation, bad happening, I basically haven't played for two weeks. (bi-polar here so mood swings are in play).
One of the things that is getting to me is having to rescue this guy from the jungle. I know there are heaps of ways to do this - ask a friend to bring you a mount for instance- but maybe some rage quitting or demoralising could be averted if I had a button I could push to get me back to town.
Hear me out!
I don't want an easy get home miracle out. I want it to cost me, and I want it to be very limited. I want to be conflicted. I was thinking that it was a safe button you could use 5 times only. Each time you used it you lose one point off every stat except psyche, and add one to psyche. I have some sort of lore reason for boosting psyche, like you are using the etherworld, so it's a big bunch of psych. Its not important other than lore. The key is the penalty.
Basically it is a big red button you push and say fuck it.
