Poll: Why would you quit WoW?

[Skalman]

Why would you play it willingly to begin with?

Because it's not actually a bad game, actually.

Oh but it is. Ashamed as I am to admit it, I actually tried it once, made it to about lvl 30 as a warlock, then I realized how shitty the game really was and swore an oath never ever to play it again. Ever.

You really can't talk much about how good or bad an MMO is until you got to either top level or had any big expirience grouping with people... and as far as I know, that "part" of the game, grouping, in the "old world", was kind of dead for about 2 years.

Well I shouldn't have to play through the game to be able to judge whether it's a good game or not.
That's like saying you can't complain about your life sucking, until you're dead. I think a lot of people would beg to differ.

Okay, how much can you say about any game after playing one single mission? Preferably an introduction mission where almost no abilities and units are unlocked?

And when you complain that your life sucks, you really complain that it sucks NOW. Not overall. Because you haven't lived it yet.

You can hardly call lvl 30 one mission, seeing how as lvl cap was at 60 then. so it was technically half the game.

Well anyway, there's really nothing anyone can do anywhere to keep me from hating WoW with every cell in my body, We'd better agree to disagree at this point.

I went to a bar one night instead of that sunfury temple whatever place raid; you know, the pink\purple\red elven place. After raiding for over a year... I never logged on again.

I tried WoW for a day - I got bored after an hour and have never played since.

 

[Irridium]

I got bored, why would I pay $15 a month just to do endless repetative quests?

 

[zacaron]

I would (and did) quit WOW because I capped my level and ran out of things to do.

 

[Reqium]

I quit WoW, because it frightened me how much time i ended up spending playing the game unknowingly, i would just get absorbed into the game and 8 hours later, i'm like 'eh? '

So i quit it, not because i dislike it, but because i need to focus on my art and my violin more really...

"Sounds like a romantic evening."

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'm actually totally impressed by the amount of people that said they quit willingly. I mean, I did too after I realised the first expansion was shite but wow, this totally contradicts the whole addiction thing. Unless of course, everybody is lying.

Check my xfire to see if I tell the truth, then realize I didnt use xfire actively untill a good year ago so my 2.2khours on WoW are not close to the actual number

 

[Crazie_Guy]

I could not possibly see my self ever quitting this game.


Mostly because I would never play it in the first place.

 

[Rhayn]

I just quit for my second time. Planning on making this my final quit. The game is good, the content is fine, but I want to do something else now.

I want to get a job (which granted I could've gotten whilst I was playing), possibly get a console and/or a kickass desktop to play sweet new releases with.

So in short, I want to play other games now. Currently I'm debating getting DoW II or Mass Effect. Being in a RPG-phase at the moment, I'm thinking I'll most likely end up getting Mass Effect.

Cough, I've been using my current xfire account for about a year and a half, and I racked up an impressive 3700 hours. I've been playing since launch.

In retrospect I think it's only done good for me. I've learned so much about different cultures, my view on the world has changed a lot and not to mention the fantastic people I've met.

 

[Ushario]

I've had an account since release, and have played it on and off.

At one point things did get a bit out of hand but I sorted myself out.

I found that WotLK content was by far the best, but there just wasn't enough to keep me interested. My entire guild got bored about 2 months after release and no one has been on since.

Yeah its no way "top number" but realizing I put in allmost 100days of RL time in 1.3years is kinda my point. its alot of gametime I dont regret but I did baffle myself at the ammount looking back.

 

[Fortesque]

I just got board and quit.

Got very very sick of running Gruuls, SSC and Mags. Plus i spent hundreds of gold buying all this sweet armor for my Mage, then having it all made redundant with a new expansion

 

[Scunner]

I joined after BC and had fun for a year and a bit, but then got bored and quit. I came back and tried WotLK for a bit bit realized the end game was still the same stuff repeated at nauseam.

 

[Horvic]

Hmm. I'm still having a lot of fun in a raiding guild. I was one of the first people on my server to get to 80 and I haven't really tired of the game at all yet. I play it less than I used to but still, I'm nowhere near quitting stage yet.

 

[bad rider]

The free trial ran out...

 

[Lord_Of_Plum]

I quit after my parents made me. I'm extremely glad they did. Looking back, I realize that I was an addict, albeit a sucky addict.

 

[Nostalgia]

A horrible computer.
But as things are now, I don't really have much desire to go back.
