Lets hear your reasons for quitting:)

I played it as my uni housemates lives are Warcraft, thats all they do, so by playing WoW at least I did something with them, even though I causally played (15hours a week I reckon).

My reasons for quitting are:
All this effort in getting pvp gear to find a new patch makes it easy to get.
The schoolkids who make you loose BG's (btw I never raided I cba).
The upcoming expansion means all the gear some people spent 1000game hours getting is now rubbish.
The game is never ending, you could put 50hours a week in and it simply is not enough.
My housemates who live on it are failing uni..... badly.
One of the housemates levels on a new server with you then changes server.
WoW was always there to fill time that should be spent on coursework.
To spend such timeon something at isnt real seems a little pointless.

So share your reasons for getting back to the real world:p
 
I've seen friends lives ruined because of WoW

Enough to put me off tbh.
 
u did *claps* but all low lifes addicted noobs still playing it i never even played it and never will worst gay game ever
 
I quit after 5 days of the trial, which was yesterday. It was all a bit boring, I had heard so much about the immerse atmosphere and environment, but everywhere in a particular area all looked the same. It made exploration seem useless, much preferred the less hardcore Guild Wars for that.

Do I have to cancel anything or do I just leave it btw?
 
quit about 1.5 years ago, never looked back. got a level 59 paladin about an hour away from 60 (granted, that means jack now) and just ran out of interested. I quit as basically its got no point. Also, the PVP plain sucks - no skill required garbage. Battlegrounds were lame. It seems the vast majority of players are school kids and morons. Basically, its everything about gaming I ended up hating, and I was paying every month for the privalidge.
 
Just sold my account the other week, got a tidy little bundle for it as it was a Tier6 pala.

My reasons for quitting are:
PvP. I love PvP.. but Warcraft is NOT a PvP game, atleast not in its current state, sure the devs might have decided on a whim that it was not so long ago but so far they have done absolutely nothing to back that up.

Arena is a travesty, it is so poorly implemented that it just makes a mockery of the people paying for the game. There is so much more they could have done with it that they never bothered doing and never will bother doing as they have put in the bare minimum required for it to work which seems to be the new ethos at Blizz HQ since TBC was released. I actually really like the concept of arena, but its just a spakky messy the way it is now.

The method of getting gear in PvP is simply ridiculous. The rampant amount of win trading that goes on and this IS how people play. When you see those full season3-whatevers from nobody guilds running about, you can garauntee somewhere along the line they are involved with a team that has some silly win ratio like 20-0... lets not forget the current #2 team in Europe is blue geared shamans who haven't lost a match.

But that aside, what exactly is the incentive to win? you get all the same rewards losing as you do winning, just takes a little bit longer. But lets just transfer that system to PvE to show how utterly mental it is:
You turn up to Black Temple, wipe endlessly on Najentus, but that doesn't matter that you are yet to down a single boss because in a couple of weeks you will have the tokens for the piece of gear of YOUR choice anyway.
And Apply the PvE to the PvP?
You slave endlessly in the Arena, you have faught your way through hundreds of people and your team have claimed your top spot on your battlegroup. Your reward? a couple of random bits of gear, some of which nobody can use as its not for their class.

I remember not long after TBC came out the general forums of WoW EU and US were awash with "TBC has ruined WoW" threads, and I thought to myself what fools... it's a shame it took me so long to realise how right they were. I miss the original WoW a lot, everything about it was amazing and it was 10x the PvP game then than it will ever be with the nonsense in TBC...

Age of Conan will be out soon and will fill the gap to Warhammer Online neatly.
 
I love WoW, and play regularly with friends ive met in person, never met, or who live round the corner. I raided for a long time before the expansion and yet amazingly I didnt die, become homeless, kill people, lose my job, fail studies, whatever.

Such a terrible addiction.... :rolleyes:
 
would my account be worth anything to auction off?? ( If against the rules feel free to edit/delete my post:))
its only a lvl70 hunter with almost all epics (season1 arena mainly) and a lvl 38(ish) pali

If I was very rich and therefore had no job I think I would get out the game what I wanted, along with seeing real life friends, get drunk and have life away from my pc......and obviously I have to work:)

You're just a bad addict :p

I used to put about 8hours a day in when i was in sixth form. But i only really enjoyed it when i was playing with friends... even with some wonderful people in my guild i just got bored after a while. I just stopped playing so much, just putting in less hours over each week and in the end i just stopped paying the sub.
 
I quit a few weeks ago (again)

I usualy have long breaks every year, but this time doubt I will be going back to it at all.
I totaly understand why ppl think the PVP system is dead.
 
Basically a month after tbc came out. I have to thank it for me quitting. I was the best geared hunter on my server as tbc hit and i just couldn't get enough of the game. I worked really hard for it and sacrificed a lot of stuff in real life to get there (Although nothing major like my friend who ended up dropping out of Uni because of it). As soon as tbc hit i finally realized that everything i had done for the past 2 years was worthless and just packed it in as i knew the same would happen if i carried on playing with the next expansion pack.

Still i don't regret doing it. The original Wow was the best game i have ever played and have had huge fun playing it.
 
First time:

Got bored of losing out on all drops every time I went UBRS.
Raiding times had become a problem for me as I needed to focus on school.
Realised that end game is pretty much spend six hours killing the same mobs over and over again with the hope that they drop the piece you need and that when they drop it you don't get out-dkp'd by the other bajillion people who need it aswell and that when you do have it, your new goal is to get the next piece which may have a new glowy bit on it, or +1 stam.
Got bored of grinding.
I usually power through MMOs, getting to the top within a month, or less, WoW was no different - afterwards, I usually get bored because I've done everything.
BG queues were awful/non-existant.
Full of immature losers.
Unbalanced/rubbish classes.

Second time:

Was using a tunnel program to get round the Uni network so was very laggy.
Before The Storm patch and that useless LFG interface.
Realised that it was taking too much of my time without little gain in-game.
I had friends in RL at this point (o_O) and I wanted to keep these ones.
I got hacked, and despite spending over a week trying to get Blizzard to sort it out, they froze my account, changed my password and sent me on my way telling me to keep my password secure.
Over-inflated AH.
Sparsely populated servers - I did not enjoy starting again and finding there were about three people in the starting area and about five in the cities.
Also, few low levels and far too many high levels.

What a stupid post. Why waste your time trolling?

I played WoW when SWG-CU went live, cant really remember how long ago that was, I later quit when my guild finished Naxx before TBC, sold on my account for a pretty neat sum.
Afew months into TBC I restarted WoW :p played Rogue (again, same as old main) purely to PVP and not raid, got to lvl 67 and quit. (again) :)
 
I've quit many times, all because I stopped having fun in it. Each time I've gone back the game has got better though.

WoW only takes over your life if you let it. I've had no problems playing WoW, doing the day job, looking after the house, eating properly etc. I've seen it happen to other people, so I know it happens though.

If you don't like the game stop posting in threads about it, especially if you only post to annoy people.
 
I have currently quit, I usually play for a month and get bored, leave it for 3 months and then pick it up again.
