Has anyone else "gone off" WoW?

I had had enough, then sold my account, got scammed, got my account back 20 days later, then froze my account for 5 months, now I'm back more addicted than ever LOL :P

Such a good game.

Because you only played it for a few hours :confused:

Hence why you have seen very little the game has to offer, other than startup area's to teach people the noob basics.
 
I always feel like that a month or so after joining a raiding guild. I get bored of people shouting and bossing everyone else around, the fact that the oldest members will always get gear first even if they don't help in progression raids, and the amount of grinding you have to do for consumables.

At some point I snap and realise it's just not fun, then go back to my guild of RL friends and we just mess about trying to do heroics.
 
I played WoW from Jan 07 until March 08. I was on the Karazhan server and by about Jan 08 we had killed Illidan. I also played a lot of arenas until they became so imbalanced and class dependent, nearly got to 2k rating 2v2.

I quit because at the time I'd seen and completed all end game content and I had more important things to do as I was starting my PhD and continuing to raid BT/MH each week was just taking up too much time.
 
I played from aug 06 to around aug 07, Had a lvl 70 warrior that i lvld up with some cool guild mates. Once we got to 70 the guild got too serious and it wasn't fun anymore so i stopped. Gaming should be about fun, not bossing ppl into playing at stupid times doing raids for hours. Wouldn't mind going back just to play the death knight but i don't know if i can justify paying monthly to wander on my own cos i'm certainly not going to join a guild again! Shame really cos i miss my warrior :(
 
Used to be a co-guild leader (I still might be, who knows), about 60 active people.
Did MC, BWL, and then TBC, KZ, SSC. Ran a site with dkp forums, all the bits.

They had a spat, lots left.
I logged in, cba with any of the smash then logged out.

I've not been back in about 2 months.
 
Played too much Wow for my own good. Cleared all content Pre TBC. Got to Rank 13 and the only reason i didn't go Rank 14 was because i had better weapons. Ended up being the best geared hunter on my server and would totally obliterate in BG. I think i managed to record a 2.6k arcane shot and a 4k multishot with zerker and fully stacked jom gabbar. Pretty much owning everything that came in my path. Then TBC came out and I was really disappointed that all the hard work i had done in game was all for nothing.

I am glad i got out then as I would have just done the same thing trying to be the best and then when Lich King comes out it will be back to square one again.

I think the posts in this thread sum it pretty well. One minute the game is the best thing since sliced bread and then one day you wake up and think. Why am I wasting my time on this.

Guilds are what you make them, they don't have to be about bossing people around. Pre-TBC I was in an amazing guild while leveling and we used to mess about and help each other out all the time. Not long after I hit 70, I found another similar guild who I did Kara with until all of the officers decided to quit.
 
Well I know you don't find it fun being "bossed around" but I think you just got unlucky with guild choice.

I think in the right guild, raiding can be really good fun. When I was raiding pre-TBC it was such a laugh, but we made some really good progress (first MC run saw us downing all up to and including Geddon) and there was no yelling, arguing, just 40 people eager to make progress.

Given that I paid £40 for copies of TBC for me and my partner, I think I deserve to see at least *some* of the content. I did roll with Azrael on Nagrand, however it's a very casual guild and I was always intending just make friends and level for fun, and then move to raid when a new server came along.

And now it has, I can't get into the right frame of mind. :(
 
Like many others I just got bored over a period of time, took a year long break and then started again and found that more enjoyable as I knew better ways to level and grouped more etc. Once I'd got to 70 and was playing it about 8-12 hrs per day I realised it had got stupid and once I returned from uni quit the game. Now i have lots of time to do what I want on concentrate more on my career etc - which is working out v.well.

Although thinking I'm going to play WAR when it comes out, but not 12hrs per day!

I think this is part of the.... 'problem', for want of a better word, with the way people play MMORPGS. People become very focussed on statistics and putting in the 'hard work' to develop. Then something happens (maybe a nerf to your specializations, maybe some other kind of balancing, maybe some new content) and you feel somewhat cheated because your character is no longer so elite.

I think a good thing to do is sit back and look at the game, saying "if my stats got halved, or I lost half my gear, would I still be able to enjoy the game?". Or in other words, do you enjoy the storyline, questing, low level stuff or is it all about the grind to 'optimise' your character? Do you regard grinding as a 'necessary evil' in order to be able to participate in high-level raids or whatever?
 
I haven't played since april but i've decided to buy a laptop and the battlechest plus the lich king all at once. I'm going to get them all when i hear about a more realistic release for the lich king.

Unless they plan on releasing a box set of all 3 games ofcourse. Hopefully on 1 disc each ;pp
 
ive hit 70 with my ian hunter a few months ago, everyone else in he SH OCUK guild is miles in front so rarely get to raid, started up a priest and am loving it :) trying to do as many instances as possible as i missed out on a lot with my main as i was more into getting the quests done :)

Also re-vamped my UI and got soem nice new addons to make it even more fun and interesting :)
