Five year WoW-veteran, just deleted all toons and uninstalled the game. - Games

'Hey guys look guys looks guys look what i did'

[QUOTE=**Chris**;27258124]I've truly had my fill of the damn thing and just swore off it. Several reasons for it, some minor, some major. Minor ones being the enormous amount of young children/trolls in the game (they're in all realms now, and not just in trade, so you can't really escape it), as well as Blizzard being an undeniable money whore. The bottom line of Blizzard is money now, and even though WoW is a good game, that fact bothers me too much. The game is also overpopulated, and watered down compared to the way it felt in vanilla. The major reason I quit though, is the ludicrous amount of time I've spent simply sitting in a chair, staring at a screen due to WoW. When you think about it, everything you do in WoW, stays in WoW. All that work you put into those 85 toons will never yield anything in real life, or anything practical, or useful in any way. It's simply an addictive money pit, as well as a time pit; meanwhile, someone with a real life is in a bathtub full of your money over at Blizzard. A bit like a parasite, to use a metaphor. Thought I'd share this. Below: upset fanboys.[/QUOTE] Can I have your stuff?

I don't know about you but deleting all your toons to prevent your return instead of just uninstalling the game seems like a safeguard against a weak will...

You are complaining about it taking up your time. Then don't play it so much! It is all up to you about how you play it. You can't say "Oh, I play this game 10 hours a day, It's sucking up my life. ALL BLIZZARD'S FAULT!" Blizzard made that money on players who want to play a game. It's a great game if you like it. Again, and I can't say this enough: Don't like it? Don't play it!

You left? Good job I guess?

As much as I agree with you facepunch. You are not going to convince this guy, he just deleted all his toons. He [i]has[/i] to be right otherwise that was a complete waste of all that time.

Still, he didn't have to tell us. It's not like we're going to give a shit or agree with him that this expansion is shit or what ever he is complaining about.

And honestly, if he did feel the need for some Facepunch WoW section validation, he could have said he quit for less ignorant things like children and "dumbed down" gameplay. In any case, I hope he enjoys playing whatever game he moves on to that will have the same exact problems :v:

Lol I'm just sitting back watching all you desperately defend your addictions by attacking me for making a personal choice [editline]7th January 2011[/editline] Oh and the whole "cata is better ur just ignorant" thing, Blizzard could take a shit in a box and called it World of Warcraft: Emerald Dream and you people would be all over it, none of it makes any difference to you all. [editline]7th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=DeEz;27258533]Perhaps if you were a good troll it would've been more fun[/QUOTE] Well, I ain't really here trollin', this started as a simple thread stating why I quit and what I did...this resulted in much unexpected sarcastic anger from a lot of people, and it got kinda funny.

[QUOTE=**Chris**;27265512]Lol I'm just sitting back watching all you desperately defend your addictions by attacking me for making a personal choice [/QUOTE] You mean the same addiction you just wasted 5 years of your life on?

ITT: WoWfags rage at someone who has different opinion.

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;27267014]ITT: WoWfags rage at someone who has different opinion.[/QUOTE] having a different opinion is different than dissing the game because you wasted five years on it

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;27267014]ITT: WoWfags rage at someone who has different opinion.[/QUOTE] Who is raging?

Some people might interpret the OP as trolling, since he posted in the WoW forum to say that he thinks playing WoW is a bad idea. I'm assuming that wasn't his intention, and he just couldn't think where else to post it.
