Why I left WoW.......again

Now, where to start with this? Well, suppose I could start by saying, 'Good Bye Blizzard, see you again sometime down the road."
I did it, I canceled my subscription. For the third time, I think? This time could be for a while though, perhaps, that is it. Its over, all gone.

This time I think the grind got to me. I cannot, for the life of me, continue to play a game that has become yet a second job. This job though, does not pay my pays bills, my mortgage, nor my car payments. It does get me purple gear for my character.

yeah,


So, after working 8 hours a day, coming home, walking the dog, cooking dinner, eating dinner, someone expects me to log into WoW, and then raid for 4 to 5 hours a night? Nope, not happening any more. I cannot justify it. When a game stops being fun and entertaining, and more like another job, requiring more attention and prep work than my real life job, its time to move on. Another thing that has me leaving, is the direction that development is taking. If, Path of the Titans was actually added to the game with Cataclysm, perhaps I would be muddling through it. However, that was not to be, for whatever reason.

Path of the Titans was supposed to be an alternate leveling experience for your characters, opening up new talents and traits, and actually, had my attention as a reason for sticking around. Yet, the good folks at Blizzard did not either get this to 'work properly" or something along that lines, as it was not there. Instead, we were gifted with Archeology (pointless) and........flying in Azeroth.

Leveling to 85 was done, fairly quickly, and then left with running 5mans in order to get better gear, in order to run Heroic 5mans, in order to gear up for the 10man raids, in order to gear up for the Heroic 10man Raids, so forth, and so on. At what point does it stop? Even with DC universe there is running of Duos, hard more alerts, in order to get Tier 1 and tier 2 gear.
Honestly.

I will poke my head in to the Blizzard website every once in a while, and see what is going one.

Tuesday, March 8th, Dragon Age 2 releases.

I will post on that, as well as go into DC Universe and what is going on there.
