usually I post on the WoW forums, but I'm not subscribed anymore so I figured that I would post here and see what this WoW community has to say about this. Now, I don't mean for this to be a QQ post, but at some point I may be getting at that, so please bear with me.
I've been off of WoW for about 5 weeks now, and I'm pretty happy. I'm just bored of the game now. With 4.3 having been out for a few months now, and no new patches coming out any time soon, there was no reason to justify me paying for this game.
Originally, in the early stages of Cata, and the entirety of Wrath (besides after FotLK,) I was paying for a constantly changing game, essentially like getting a new video game every few months. Assuming that a patch came out every 3 months or so, I was paying $60 for a game that I would play for 3 months, and that's generally the amount of time I get out of a game for my xbox 360 if I'm lucky, so paying 15-20 dollars a month for WoW was a pretty good deal. But now I would be playing the same game for what looks like 6 months, and I just can't bring myself to do that.
On top of that, personally I just don't think MoP is going to make this game any better. What Blizzard is saying about Mists is exactly what they said about Cata back in summer 2011, and that didn't really get us anywhere, did it? The same people were getting mad about a lot of things that Blizzard did wrong, and it was Wrath all over again (at least from a satisfaction standpoint.)
Back up to paragraph 2 about paying $60 for a game that would last 3 months, I don't think I can say that each patch lasted 3 months. I spent an upwards of about an hour a day just SITTING in Stormwind/Orgrimmar, with absolutely nothing to do. I just feel like WoW is literally a time sink, where at least if I was playing Skyrim or something, I would actually be doing something in that time period.
Sorry if this got a little out of hand, I just wanted to kind of vent my frustration that has come with WoW.
