Why i left WOW forever

I just left WOW for the last time. Yes i did leave and try everything, WAR, AOC, Aion, whatever, AOC is the only one that remotely interest me. But this last time, me and my RL friends were like, lets try end game, ICC. Well we have geared toons, got into a guild started running ICC, and ran ICC again and again and again...WOW is a great game but come on, blizzard can do much better than this. Maybe it's because I've played WOW for over 4 years and just burnt. I wish everyone well and hope blizzard makes some changes. Just can't run ICC all the time but it's all there is to do.

I dunno, in the end although the name of the dungeon instance changes, all there ever is to do is run the same instance over and over and over, which hasn't changed since I realized this and left before BC launched.

That is fairly accurate to how I and many others felt when we left.. However, there were some friends we left behind because of gaming issues.. As for the rest of the guildies.. It was actually funny to hear how so many of them just "didn't" want to start over on a new game where they were minions.. In my opinion many WoW subs are those that feel proud of their EPEENS and fear starting off in a new game where they have no bragging rights and whatnots.. So, I don't see these types open to any new games until their EPEENS on WoW shrivel up and fall off.. LOL

Maybe you didnt try Hard mode and heroic modes of Toc and Ulduar, because they arent easy at all. Also you should realise that they gave a bonus to ICC because they wanted people to complete it, not because it was fun to make. It is easy only because you do normal stuff or you dont like challenge but either way you have not completed the game.
I'd go back to WoW if they opened 'heroic realms' where every single mob and dungeon would be a harder version of their 'normal realm' counterparts.
Lets put it this way.. The OP was saying he's tired of jumping over the same bar , day after day after day after day.. I agree.. What you're saying is that we should raise the bar 6 inches on hard mode and jump some more.. or raise it 12 inches on heroic mode.. Yes.. it makes jumping over that SAME DAMN STUPID bar harder.. but that wasnt' the problem.. I"m tired of jumping over that bar over and over again.. reguardless what height you set it at....... IF that was the case, why even bother coming out with Cataclsym at all, just raise the bar in ICC another 2 feet.. then 3 feet, then 5 feet.. so on, and so on... Because there becomes a point that reduntancy at any level is just boring as hell.. Just that some of us have different standards and demand more for our money.. How many MONTHS has been been since ICC came out? How many more months are you stuck with ICC?
Only if this ment a change in AI and not mobs having more health or more damage... Because let's face it, even then they wouldn't be a challenge. It would just take longer and make it more gruesomely slow...
WoW is like this for a pve player..
1. Do quests
2. Do more quests
3. Do dungeons
4. DO more dungeons
5. Do 1-4 until level 80
WoW is like this for a pvp player...
1. Kill your oppontents
2. Collect pvp gear
3. Repeat 1-2 until boredom sets in.
I don't blame any veteran or semi new person who is bored of WoW at this point. I don;t see how Cataclyms will spark any new interest because the conent will be the same except the world looks a little different. More dungeons, with more quest and more pvp gear to grind for. WoW had it's time in the sun but it is time to move on to better things.
Better things? ..like ?
Even if they did this, it'd last you one month tops, and we'd be bored again. I think we've all been through this cycle. How long does it take the average guild to clear thru content even when a new expansion is launched. In my opinion, they shouldnt just add more to the same concept, but instead try to combine new concepts to bring new stuff for players to the table. I myself do not see the point in adding more repetitive dungeons, that are only different the first time you try it, more repetitive armor sets that are basically the same thing with stats mixed in a different way and maybe visually appear in a different color, another 10 character levels to the cap. But then again this is my opinion, seems 11.5 million players are happy with this style of expansion-addition concept.

Eat too much chocolate and you'll soon get sick, however you'll always want to try the new improved recipe when they are launched.. see you in Cata
Not really, there's always Tiramisu or Creme Brulee.. Cata = Nty
<QQ moar plz. kkthxbai.>
If I recall correctly, Blizzard said they're bringing back in more need for crowd control into Cata, which isn't a bad thing in my opinion.
These threads always make me smile, people harp on about how things are boring and the same, and yet not many people can actually give examples of what should change and how it should change. Instead they use words like "something different" or "something innovative". Come on guys, if you're bored use some grey matter and give the industry some ideas.

If i had the right ideas to combine and make an mmo succeed, i wouldnt be here; I'd be thinking about how to spend the 100 million dollars my game company would be earning each month.

You are not alone my friend, I killed Arthas in 25 man and quit the game and I m not planning on going back either, I mean I know after you kill Arthas in 25 you can do the Heroics but I don't really like Heroics, I would rather have the whole thing in Heroic mode from the beginning, I am the kind of player that when I finish a game in normal I don't go finish the game in Very Hard, unless it has a different ending and I even go to the hardest level of the game if it is accessible, I just don't like facing the same bosses again even if they have different mechanic to me they're still the same bosses and is just no fun to me anymore, maybe if they had the raid concept they had in BC where you could only be in 1 mode, I would still be wiping in ICC because I wanted to kill the lich king in Hard, Heroic, Normal mode whatever you want to call it, but to kill him twice does not appeal me, I m not really trying to proof anything to myself or anyone, at least not in a video game.
PvP in WoW is just horrible made it to 2000 in a 2v2 with my friend not by been good just by playing alot.
I did try to play WAR but game is just too ugly and is still a zerg fest, I have yet to try AoC and Aion AGAIN, I am currently playing Quake Live.
Yeah, I know it was one of my better thoughts (at a time I stood at the side line myself one day back in pre TBC).

How about achievements? Hard modes? How about collecting pets? How about playing the auction house? How about exploration? How about seeing what you can run solo? How building reputation with vanilla/BC factions? How about collecting the various mounts available WoW?
Fun is where you find it. I'd be bored too if all I did was run dungeouns. There are more choices in WoW than just about any MMO out there. If you can't find something to do, you're not looking very hard.
See you in Cataclysm.
What achiements? You mean all the ones that are dungeon or raid related.. (which are probably more then 1/2 of them)
Hard Modes? Again.. Why? Once you run the same dungeon 500 times with the same graphics and same mechanics, it gets old.. just because you up the mobs health 20% doesn't change much.. If that was the case.. Lets just cancel ALL of Cataclysm and instead just have "hard" mode on WoW.. and when you're done with that.. have "nightmare" mode too.. Sound familar?
Pets? most pets are easily collected same with mounts.. it doesnt' take that long to grind (ooops did I say grind) out faction..
Playing the Auction House? You're kidding me, right!.. If I wanted to devote that much time and work into something like that.. I'd go work for a golf spamming company.. or better yet, work WALL STREET where the real money is..
Exploration? Can we have a show of hands how many level 80's have NOT done the exploration achievement.. .. LOL
90% of all well geared lvl 80 toons have already done solo dungeons and rep grind for achievements.. You are grabbing at straws on things that only take days to do.. IF that.. Then what? Solo more low level dungeons again? ZZzzzzzz
BTW.. I loathe WoW's raid mechanics.. I don't find their mode or raiding fun at all....... remove that aspects from the game and WoW is DEAD..... that is spelled D ..... E.......A......D..... DEAD
You won't see me in Cataclysm
Have a great day
I had 7 70s and then gave up when I saw that WOTLK wasn't offering me anything I wanted. I loved Wow for a time, and as a soloer I loved that you could solo to the top level. And then Wow is simply Raid or give up. Bah. If Wow ever offers me a non-grouping method to obtain the gear I want (even if it's a long and lengthy process), I'll consider rejoining.
And here is the answer of a WOW player compared to the non playing trolls above (not talking about the OP).
I am working on my first Conqueror at the moment. Plan is to get revered at Warsong around Sep and hitting 80 by then. It will be a close call to get exalted by the time Cata will hit. Engineer of course for the cute toys in PvP.
Fingers crossed. Battlemaster on the main is still a long way off though- 14 achievements. Perhaps in the next few months too. 2 characters at a time is all I can handle really.

There is a key distinction between something being 'boring' and something being 'easy. The OP quit because he was bored of the content in WoW. That is a perfectly valid reason to stop playing and is purely based on individual preference.
However, if you find the content in WoW 'easy' then you can try harder versions of the content. One can always keep making the content harder if one is looking for a challenge. If the 'hardmode' turns out to be boring then you have a valid reason to quit it because it is boring and not because it is easy.
