give me your proto drakes and ill call it quits :D

god they are sexy things lol
 
I just quit my guild, a good friend has called it quits for now and he was practically leading the guild and now it has gone downhill, we play on Magtheridon and the guild master invited some Ensidia rejects who for some reason are being treated like they are gods, they even made the raid times fit one of the rejects schedule.

So 3 of us, all friends let our opinions be known in guild chat and left, felt good to be out the guild as it was the result of a merge and most of our side have stopped playing so it was just boring, we carried the other half through Naxxramas and Sarth3D. After raiding without the guy who was our old guilds leader we didn't like how the raids were and was getting annoyed with the new members who were annoying scrubs. FOUR HOURS it took to clear Naxx 25, what a discrace, the guy who took over leading the raids came 18th on damage practically every fight and he's a Warlock with good gear, a real slacking mess of a player.

Gonna try find a decent guild but I reckon I will be calling it quits until Ulduar, I have practically the best DPS gear in-game (sadly no Betrayer/Greatness trinket) and along with full Tanking gear that is mostly best in slot stuff, I had great pleasure informing some guy from the guild I quit that I hope they enjoy doing 3 Drakes without me. (because they won't be able to, DK makes the best tank for it and they have no other DK's that have anywhere near as good gear as I, the guy hurled abuse at me so I felt that was a good response :D)

I quit wow today, this decision i've made a lot of times in the past and i always came back to the game and i hate myself for it.

I've played wow since the first day it came out and i must admit it was the worst thing that happened to my life. I got over 400days played on my account and i did it all, i played in sucky guilds and i played in top 100 guilds and i hated it all but due to my addictive nature and my online friends i never stopped. I was addicted to getting stronger and stronger and the competition and it never stopped, i failed many years of my education because i played it all day and night and could never wake up to go college, Some nights i played all night into the morning till my college started and still didn't bother to get up.
Thing is with that game, in FPS/RTS games you winning or losing depends on your skill as a player. WoW requires no skill just farming, farming farming. Farming instances, farming gold, farming reputation ect.

Theres no point in playing that game, its a total waste of time and it never ends. During my career in wow i even sold my account once and i wanted to go back to it so badly i stole it back... which i'm ashamed of doing.

My advice to anyone who wants to play that game, as someone experienced, please stay away from that game, it'll do nothing but waste your time and your life.. your better off going and reading a book. 4 years after wow came out i hate myself for playing it so hardcore and all i have to show for it is a fat belly and a brain filled with useless wow knowledge.

How do you know you quit it for good then? I also 'quit' WoW about 3 times. Once more seriously than the other two times, but went back to it in the end. The only way to truly quit is to get fed up up with the game. Really fed up. Not going online screaming you hate the game and that you will quit to make yourself feel better. Log on to your account and delete your chars and see how you feel about it.
 
In WOLK's defence - blizz introduced cut scens great story lines and some great new graphics - i have not as yet done Naxx although it does seem the ONLY place that people raid these days.
 
I haven't quit but I pretty much only log on for raids these days, which only takes 2 maybe 3 nights a week if we suck, to be honest I am only really playing still because there is not really many decent PC games around to play instead.

I'm looking forward to Empire: Total War though which is on pre-order and I still play L4D with the ocuk crew which is good fun :)

WOTLK renewed my interest for a time but after a while you just get bored of everything.

The biggest problem WoW has is you need lots of time to dedicate to it, if you are in a raiding guild raids will typically last a few hours in an evening which means you can't just "play for a bit before dinner" or "pause the game while you need to go do something else".

This lack of freedom while playing makes it hard to balance with other things, i'd often wind up eating dinner while playing which is not good, this kind of behaviour is hard for others to understand too.
 
It took way too much time to get anywhere in the game so I gave up years ago when I reached level 45. It was far too time consuming and I was missing out on all the decent games being released at the time. Another reason was because our internet line is shocking and almost unplayable online.
 
Every three months or so I seem to start a new character up, then get bored and quit, I have around 10 level 70's now... it keeps me entertained for a week or two every so often. I have raided and that was one of the most boring things ever. Only seems to take about 2 weeks to level up these days also.
 
I stopped playing last year had 3 lvl 70's, played War for a while then stopped playing that before Christmas, I don't have any desire to go back even for WoTLK, I do miss chatting to some of my old guild mates though which I've known for years some from as far back as UO days.
 
iv give it up about two years go but I keep trying to get myself back into but that only lasts for 1-2 weeks and I generally forget about it and stop playing....

Think it's to linear to me.

I really really miss an mmo though after SWG
 
I'm still playing but am debating dropping subs soon unless the new Ulduar etc come out soon. I've played since the 2nd wave of EU servers again, on Hellscream, so have been playing one of my mains since about april/may 2005, but as I have mentioned elsewhere, nowadays its so...easy, there's so little challenge. Vanilla was harder than TBC which still had some hard content, but WotLK so far apart from a few very specific things is extremely easy in general, raids are almost seeming to take longer because most people are half asleep from the drudgery.

I have no problem with casuals and wanting to let them play and see content, but as mentioned raiding content nowadays is so damned easy. The only near challenging stuff is stuff like 3D Satharion, but in general raiding is so damned easy now, PUGs (unless very experienced) shouldn't be doing 25mans, they're meant to be for dedicated groups!
I also have to say, despite the headaches it could cause with organisation, I still prefer the old 40man designs, had a much more epic feel, and it also meant they could make the content and tactics more intricate; and the achievements just seem designed to buff out the dramatic lack of content at the moment.

Just hope they bring a lot of new content in fairly soon after Ulduar or I will probably stop playing soon; at the moment Im only playing to raid and socialise with people I've known for years.

Hopefully when they next do an expansion it'll be a little bigger with initial content; hell Emerald Dream expansion could be amazing, as it'd effectively be a parallel world, so they could redo the entire of world map; there's enough story stuff they could use to justify it, and as the landscape is designed half the work is done, they just need to change whats on the landscape; the races and places like cities. Could virtually double the size of WoW as it stands, but half of me thinks they'll do it as a half job/it'll get saved for WoW2.

I think a lot of people have given up on WoW for the time being - Naxx was a cakewalk, cleared within a couple of weeks of hitting 80. Malygos and OS are a bit more interesting, but the only challenge our guild has now is 3 drakes. I've been gearing up my paladin as a change from my mage, but even that has got a bit stale.

I reckon the people who are quitting will come back for Uludar and dual specs, but Blizz will need to tune the new content very carefully to ensure there's enough challenge to keep the hardcore raiders interested until 3.2 while not excluding the casual players. I don't envy them that task, as soon as one side is satisfied, the other is up in arms about changes made to the game.

I think my WoW time is beginning to come to an end - having played since US beta, with well over 5000 hours under my belt, I'm looking at the pile of console games I haven't touched with more wistfulness. Perhaps I'll pick up a joypad today and do something different....
 
a lot of reasons on here why i have never started playing...i got addicted to CoH and that is a not as hardcore as WoW.
i think the thing with WoW/CoH is that they can be played on a low spec machine as soon as i got something that could play a decent FPS i never looked back.
saying that i spent over 1500hrs playing CoH which is an incredible amount of time to put into any game (but no where as much as some!!) i phoned in sick, blew out my mates and ate at my keyboard, i think if you have an addictive personality its best to stay away from mmorpgs all together.
 
I did start a new character on the new eu server saurfang that popped up the other day, that was really good fun for a while running around a leveling with others for a week or two, but by 50 the boredom began to set in. Its a good game but too time consuming, and samey.
 
Stopped once, lvl 60 horde mage, found it bland and boring after casual raid group disbanded. After starting in high school some new friends got me playing and i got to 70 and found it incredibly boring again.
 
had hte game on release day, played for 8 months with a shammy at 60 with some epics from BWL MC etc, sold the account on fleebay, started another account about 8 months ago got a warlock to 65 or something after a few months, not payed for the sub since, very boring repetitive game that isnt better the second time around!
