SpectatorCurrently working on my 4th 85, which will be my rogue. But after gearing the previous three I have hit some sort of gaming block. The game is starting to lose it’s fun factor. However, I don’t raid and most of my day is spent in battlegrounds. Just curious what keeps you guys interested in the game. I don’t even know if there will even be a response to this, seeing how this section seems pretty dead.

SpectatorGetting “burnt out” sucks and only time can reverse it. Walk away for a week or so, it’ll either reinvigorate your desire to play or show you it’s time to move on.

Spectatorhere is advice from an old Wow player. If you haven’t typed /played already, do it. If the amount of time doesn’t depress the *edited* out of you, you must not have a conscious. Wow lost it’s “wow” factor a long long time ago…i would say drop it and move on, but that’s just me.
hypothetically speaking, say you play only 4 hours a night, 5 times a week. anyone who seriously plays wow, plays on average more than that i’m assuming, but for hypothetical 4 hours should work. In a year you’ll have wasted 43 and a third days sitting playing the same game. bump that time up 2 hours (6 hours average a night, 5 nights a week.) that’s 65 days wasted a year sitting playing the same game. Let’s just say you spend 20 weeks of the 52, playing 8 hours a day on the weekend. That would be an extra 13 days on top of the 65. Not to sound like a mom but the game is designed to consume your life. Hell people have died playing this *edited* lol

SpectatorI used to be really into WoW (my highest level character was a lvl 70 Undead Mage), but I just kinda got bored with it. Since Cataclysm came out, I’ve been thinking about getting back into it, but I wouldn’t be playing it enough to justify the $15 a month. Maybe this summer.

This is why I quit after the closed beta ended back in 2004. Great game but junior/senior HS and college students should not be spending that much time in a game that doesn’t end or build RL friendships.

SpectatorI started playing in July and stopped playing after my two 80s hit 85, which was like early January or something. For the last month, I just lost interest. I like that they made the dungeons harder, they added new quests/removed some of the old ones, and changed the entire world, but I just don’t feel like playing dungeons anymore. I kept finding them annoying because they were so tough, but then again, it was still new to everyone, so of course we were wiping a lot. I also didn’t do anything with my gear, though. No gems, enchants — hell, I’m still carrying items from questing cuz I wasn’t getting a whole lot of good drops for a priest (guess I’d have to get *edited* crafted).
I don’t do raids (see the part where I mention that my gear isn’t great). If I went back to playing, I’d probably like to start a new toon just so I could play the new quests or level my professions on my 85s.
Before I lost interest in WoW, though, the thing that I liked the most was leveling my toon. When I hit 80, I got kinda bored, too, now that I think about it. Next was leveling my professions, lol.
