Why didn't your friends want to play?

[Ryock]

So, today I'm realizing that literally every single irl friend I have tried to get into the game didn't like the game from the moment they jumped in, with the exception of one person. I'm curious to know what reasons everybody else's friends didn't want to play the game, or had trouble getting into it. And I don't mean people who hit the cap, and got bored like a lot of us. I mean people who didn't even hit 15-20, those who quit super early, and never touched it again. They don't have to be very sensible reasons like "oh, I thought force was boring." They can be ridiculous ones too like "Not enough costumes for girls."

Why did I make this topic? Cause I'm curious. I wanna see why some people had little to no interest from the start, no matter how odd the reason. So I'll start.

My first friend got into it initially, but quit because he thought the community was far too introverted, and soloing was boring.

Another didn't want to get into it, because the combat was super boring(this was a bit difficult to understand for me, personally).

Another downloaded it, and every time I asked him if he wanted to play, he was busy, until one day he told me he has no interest because everyone passed him up(we were only 30ish, and attempts to explain to him that I needed to level a low leveled class didn't seem to interest him).

Another I attempted to get into the game seemed interested initially, but then their computer mysteriously fried for the first time in their life.

That's what I got. What about you guys?

The only person I've tried to get into the game is my cousin, and apparently he only likes pokemon and isn't even willing to give something else a try. What's even worse is he practically refuses to accept newer systems. The worst part is I'm related to him. Basically. The people in the west don't seem to like PSO2, if they fit into one of the stereotypes of the average western gamer(casual, FPS addict, pokemon junkie, etc).
