So I just decided to quit WoW for good last night. I've done so once before and was clean for around 5 months but decided to come back 2 months ago.
Whats different this time is the fact that I decided to delete all my characters to ensure that I wont be coming back.
I had 5 lvl80s: DK, Druid, Shaman, Mage and Rogue. (and a lvl30+ Lock, Warrior and a Hunter in full heirlooms)
3 of my level 80s were quite decently geared in mostly ICC10/25 and ToC25 loot, having a GS from 5200 to 5800. The other 2 were mostly in badge/toc gear with a GS of around 4600-4900. All of them had Dual-Spec, Epic flying and 2 professions maxed.
Most also had quite good gear for their secondary spec aswell and the Shaman and the Mage had quite decent PvP gear, 1800 arena weapons and all. The Shaman also had some decent Raid achievements from Ulduar, Naxx and ToC aswell as a 310% mount.
I'm not sure how much I could have gotten out of the account had I decided to sell it on Ebay or by some other means. Some said around 200-300 euros, though I doubt it?
Anyways, I sold all my gear and sent all my gold (about 14k in gold and another 10k in assest such as gems, primordials and other materials) to some close in-game friends (who I still keep in contact with on MSN/Facebook).
What I'd like to know is... Am I completely mad having deleted all these great characters and effectively wasted the 2++ years I've spent playing this damn game?
At first I thought about selling the account, but then I realized I dont really want some random scrub/kid playing on my characters I've spent so much time and effort on. I made them, leveld them, geared them so I should be the one who puts an end to them.
So what I'm asking you guys is this:
If you were to quit playing World of Warcraft, would you sell your account, delete all your characters, or just leave them be? And why?
