Reason I gave to Funcom when I canceled my AoC subscription:

"AoC core mechanics are better than EQ and WoW, but the game needs a couple of months to polish. Most of the content at level 80 is bugged in some reprehensible ways: raid lockout timers not working, bosses not dropping loot, untuned content (way too easy or way too hard), really bad itemization, siege battle exploits, and more. With 5 years of development and existing models to compare against, I'd expect the PVP experience to be at least on par with WoW. AoC falls short.

Simply put I'm not going to pay to play a game I feel is beta quality at best. I'll consider resubscribing in 6 months when there's more polish to AoC's end-game, if Warhammer Online fails to ship. For now I'll go reactivate my WoW subscription instead.

For what it's worth, my MMO experience:

EverQuest = 182 days /played
World of Warcraft = 195 days /played"
