| Long story short, I had 6 lvl 80's, two of them around 6k GS... you know what's behind that. Five months ago I started to feel like I had a problem with WoW. Body fat started to pile up, sex life run low, etc... Then started to realize more and more what a bunch of weirdos we were there in the game, and felt some shame to belong... But the final call was that one day my gorgeous (and I mean it) girlfriend, with whom I've been living for 5 years now, broke down and told me that she hated how every day is just the same, like we are just waiting for our lives to pass... and she never played WoW! It was only me. It wasn't a fight, she didn't even mention WoW or blame me for anything.. just saying. It was a simple sentence that struck me for 26k overkill... if I keep on this way she will dump me at some point. No way! I just started not playing my 80's, not raiding, playing just 2 hours when she wasn't home, leveling an alter nobody knew on bg's, guildless, and after 3 weeks I just felt sick and tired of the stupidity of it all, how serious some people was about a damn bg, how grindy and tiresome it really was... I got really tired of it and just took me 10 minutes to delete toons, cancel account, uninstall software, clear favorites list...
WoW wasn't the first addiction I quit: first pot and later tobacco are my greatest achievements. I'm 35 and it's been 5 years since I quit those, and never got back. I got really tired of those habits, like i got sick of WoW.. It's a mind job and doesn't happen overnight. If you get to realize and feel that you don't wanna be that guy (the one you've become) anymore, any excuses in your way will just fall apart. Just wake up, realize, be more critic, and react. Best wishes from this Spaniard, from sunny Spain. |
