I was only addicted for a year and a half but looking back it was one of the worst things i have done. Before WoW i was into crazy drugs and had actual real life friends. when i played wow i blew off those friends and lost most of them, to do what???? To raid..... for that sense of satisfaction of doing nothing, every time we would down a boss i felt better then later i felt terrible i would like to thank Dyne for showing me the light thanks bud i know you will read this
Been free of Warcraft for 16 days. It feels good to be back on track. I'm a former Guild Master with a fairly large guild. I decided to leave Warcraft after I realized the game wasn't worth all the time and effort I put into it. One of the main reasons I played so long was because I was a guild master. I felt as though I had a duty to be there for my guild. When people whom I had helped for months in the game from level 1 up to 70 started leaving my guild because they wanted to explore warcraft on thier own or try other guilds I realized just how shallow the game was. These people you play with don't care about you, they are not your friends they are just there to get what they want. After a while being Guild Master felt like a job. I was trapped paying $15 bucks a month for a 40hour a week job with no benifits. Since I left warcraft I feel like a burden has been lifted. I don't have to worry about logging in and showing up for work anymore.
I'm a college student and I find myself playing this video game more than studying. Often times I end up staying up so late I'm too tired to perform well in class the next day, or even finish homework or studying for that matter. I'm pursuing a degree that will help me succeed in the rest of my life and this game is getting in the way of that.
My gf has just left me after 3.5years, the last year of which I have spent playing far too much WoW. The amount of times I passed on doing something with her to squeeze another raid into an already busy week. Wot a waste of the only person I have ever truly loved. The lack of respect I have shown her is matched only by the lack of respect I have for myself playing that damn game.
Every day when my husband comes home from work he play WoW or some other video game, mostly WoW. I'm so annoyed listening to him talk about all this stupid crap...like..shamen or the stick of wrath or something. i mean seriously...i cant view him as an adult when he gets all into the game. His only friends are like 11 year olds. seriously. Im looking for a way to delete it i dont care if he throws a tantrum im sick of it. Its sad when you cant leave the game to go to the refrigerator to get a beer.
I want toput down the world of warcraft because I simply spend too much time playing it. I stay up too late, play too long, and have let other responsibilities slide.
I’m so glad I quit this game a while back; my girl and I who I’ve been with for 3 years are doing better then ever. I'm back to school and working on my degree, and HATE the fact that I spent over 60 days (/played) of my life playing this game. But everything’s better now and I've learned what matters to me, and it’s not a little stupid character running around and me thinking it’s me.
