Poll: Why would you quit WoW?

[Horvic]

So my friend (who you guys knwo as Nivag) signed up a few months before me and he quit when the first expansion came out because he was a PVPer and the expansion changed the honour system and completely got rid of his work. I personally didn't feel the affects as I got to 60 just as the first one came out, so nothing was wasted. I'm still playing and loving it today.

I'm just wondering if any of you guys quit, was it for any of the accounted reasons?

Got bored with just doing the same things over and over, but the main thing for me was the subscription fee...why the fuck should I pay nearly £90 a year on a single game, when there are plenty of other enjoyable and addictive games that I only have to pay £30 in my entire life.

Shhhh. Now everyone knows I used to play WoW. I'm ruined!

I got bored before half of the trial has ended.

Where is this option?

Agreed.

 

[Dudemeister]

I just didn't want to pay for it any more.

I loved WoW. Even though i was nothing but a nooby dwarf with only a rifle and ax to his name.

But my god, It took THREE DAYS for the patches to upload.

I basically quit after that.

I did quit because it was starting to control my life. I stopped wanting to go out with friends and what not, I realized that was unhealthy.

I quit when I started rationalizing calling in to work to grind.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

I quit when I realized that the only reason I was on anymore was to talk to people, and not about the game. So now I just e-mail and call those people when I want to talk.

now I need to convince my father to quit X_X

Powertripping raid leaders and generally not having the time to carry out all the preparations required to raid effectively...

I quit before WotLK came out, so have no idea what that was like. I prefer my WoW environments with their giant mushrooms and the like, thanks very much...

i played the 10-day trial, and i hated it.

As I've said in so many other posts, I used to play SWG, but left shortly after the NGE. I played WoW for a few months because I didn't know of many other MMO's and then I found EVE, tried the trial, and left WoW to spend my $15 a month much more intelligently. In my opinion, EVE>WoW in every aspect except for addictiveness. Although, for some, it's even more addicting than WoW could ever possibly be because it doesn't just keep you playing, make you want to keep "leveling up/getting stronger," it sucks you into its universe and doesn't let go. EVE allows for real role playing, not the crappy shallow stuff WoW offers. EVE's universe and its backstory are just so much more detailed and down-to-earth (or down-to-Airkio III for me) than WoW's. EVE is immersive which is something WoW can never be. Every time you kill some kind of weird looking animal thing in WoW, search its corpse, and find clothing items or weapons, it just totally ruins any sense of immersion you might have had.

I quit when I realized that the only reason I was on anymore was to talk to people, and not about the game. So now I just e-mail and call those people when I want to talk.

Easy, show him EVE. The more mature the person is, the higher the chance that they'll like EVE Online. It's a fact.

I was never really into it, I just played it cause all my friends were playing it, but as soon as they left I had completely lost interest in the game. It's a great game but it's not what I am looking for!

So no, not for any of your account reasons listed however I thought it was crap as soon as they lowered the man counts on raids.

 

[Varchld]

Is "All of the above plus the people I was playing with sucked, the guilds that were around were all either rather pathetic or filled with egotistical selfish pricks, there was no more reward after hitting the end aside from the chance to do the same things over and over again" an option?
There's other things like playing a broken game and getting screwed over by Blizzard, but they weren't my reasons.

 

[Credge]

I've quit and it was because it was boring. It was fun when my trio challenged ourselves by playing a rogue, priest, and hunter to beat every single group instance in the game from 1-60 while being lower level than the content in the instance...

But that grew boring as it always followed the same pattern regardless of the instance we were in. Just not a very fun game.

 

[AlphaOmega]

I was bored with WotlK and I want to focus on my new study so I recently quit so I dont get hooked again when Ulduar comes out

 

[Skalman]

Why would you play it willingly to begin with?
