Should money be account-wide?
MMO-Champion
Hey guys, So basically I've been playing WoW for 7 years I quit twice and came back 5-9 months later.. I quit WoW again after about 3 months of Panda Land. Just got pretty boring for me.
I've been buying a stupid amount of games on Steam to try find something that can hold my attention like WoW did. Nothing has done, my Steam libary has grown from around 15-20 games to 87! I'm not sure on exactly how much money I have spent, But I know its alot more than I spent on WoW (not including Sub fees) League of Legends is the only game I can play for 1hr or more and that's only because I'll be banned if I AFK mid game :P
TL;DR. Should I re-sub to WoW, I've not been able to find a game that can keep my attention. Incredibly bored after work and on weekends when I'm staying home.

Should I come back to WoW?

If you'll resubscribe now, you will quit in a few months anyway, just like you have before.
Not because WoW is bad, or because this expansion sucks, but because you apparently can't get enjoyment out of a game, any game.
So the real suggestion for you would be: Find something meaningful to do with your obviously abundant amount of free time.

Do you want to? Then yes. Otherwise, no.

2013-01-21, 01:38 PM #4DeletedThis. You need something to fill your free time, do not make the mistake of assuming it must be computer games. Seems you have a problem finding one that really grabs your attention. Wow probably only entertains you through the endless gear threadmill....

WoW will do high in #3, and there's good games which will do well in #1 especially if they don't have sub and got you hooked.
Anyway if you buy like 70 computer games and don't enjoy them then I think you have issues. Just quit gaming, go do something IRL, something worthwhile.
I'm a movie freak at heart and have watched to many more movies ever since I quit WoW

No, Jesus Christ no, don't chain yourself to this game if you ever manage to find the keys and escape its grasp a first time. Saw this thread on the front page and had to post in it.
Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore
The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

World of Daily quest craft is not fun, so no.

@OP. Have you tried GW2?

Lock inc in three, two, one...
No one can decide if you will like the game. Either play some roulette, and buy a sub for a month, or accept that you just don't like WoW and don't subscribe. Either way, it's a personal choice.

No. The game is not majorly different now, and you'll end up quitting again anyway.

Without trying to sound hypocritical, I believe the phrase is "get a hobby"

I think the dailies were only bad because its the first tier of the expansion. There are 2 factions in 5.2 to get rep. 1 is to spend valor on and you get rep with them not through dailies (killing raid bosses like ashen verdict?) and the other is a daily one for mounts and good stuff.
more on topic : if dailies bothered you, come back. if not, you just grew out of the game.

Instead of finding another game to keep you inside your room/house for too long, you might like to try something that is not a video game. A sport? Do something fun with friends? You're talking like you need to game everyday to keep yourself happy..

Well if we are suggesting other games, I think if you are that bored after work and weekends, I would suggest playing the mating game. Go out, talk to your friends, make some new ones, hang out with them. Meet a girl/guy, w/e is your thing. Once you get a feel of that you may not ever want to come back. Then again, if you get rejected by these people then you will always have WoW as a fall-back. Originally Posted by Cludo

I have yes, I loved the Beta but when the game launched it didn't feel as captivating. I patched the game last night and played for 20 minutes, I like the game just not enough to dedicate myself to that one. Also the zones I was leveling in were completely dead Originally Posted by Armida

One of best expansions so far, blizzard has finaly stepping up their game.
It aint best theme, i aint a panda fan to ( not that i care) but i would love a badass guy like Arthas or Illidan or Deathwing, So let's hope Sargeras is next i want a badass theme
But game itself is still awesome, better then cata in all aspects.

Personally I would say no, since MoP apparently didn't hold your interest before.
Pretty much nothing has changed.I quit WoW again after about 3 months of Panda Land. Just got pretty boring for me.

So you quit in December and are now contemplating a return? Pretty much 0 has changed since(ok, there were some hotfixes, but that's it). You are better off waiting for 5.2 or 5.3 changes.
Surrounded by idiots
