How Many Times Have You Quit WoW And Why?

[Cain_Zeros]

You probably aren't really looking for responses like this, but never, because I've never played.

Jumped on right after BC was released. Stopped when I hit 70 and pvp got a bit stale for me. Jumped on again at Lich king, quite after pvp got stale. I've only had one cap-level character (Rogue). I want to make a healer and really take my time with it, maybe do some raiding. 3rd time, INC.

My mom forced me to quit =(

4 times
2 months sober
I got into the hardcore raid scene and it started feeling like a job

I've only quitted once and it was because it was way too expensive (seriously 15$ a month it's too much for just 1 game) and because it was boring, sure I didn't get to level 70 (which was the cap at the time I know now is 80) so I know I didn't get to experience the fun stuff but I am not going to waste my time and money doing boring grind and all that stuff if all I want is to get to the good stuff as fast as possible which means the same day I buy the game not until like 2 or 3 months of playing boring quests!

I've quit only once. I haven't played it for a year and I don't plan on playing again.

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a waste of money. $20 is a nice price for an MMO but the $15 a month kills it. Besides the quests are repetitive. You're either doing:

1) A "kill monster X Y amount of times" quest
2) A god-forsaken escort quest
3) A delivery quest
4) A "retrieve extremely rare item X Y amount of times" quest

I know there's not a whole lot to expand on but I'm not into repetition.

Started playing at the beginning of burning crusade. A Mage. Then I ruled as a glorious leader of power for WotLK, then I stopped before the drop of Icecrown. Thank god I cured my sickness, by medicating with weed instead of WoW.

4 or so times. mostly got boring and when me and my friend started up again we'd restart completely. the final time my account got sold and I dont wanna make another account

I don't know exactly how many times I quit, I kinda go on and off whenever I feel like playing an mmo and most of the free ones just don't cut it. Usually though it's because I solo a lot and try to actually have fun but end up getting screwed because either my friends are too into the "gotta be the best" mind set so they're usually way above me lvl wise and won't take time out of their grinding to come have some fun, or I get into a guild that's supposedly one for fun and all they actually care about is lvling or they kick me from it because they're only concerned about the contributing members of it.

i quit twice. the 2nd time for good.

 

[Megas Rules]

havent really quit, just got bored of it and unistalled or not played for atleast a month. if you count them probable 8 times

 

[Harn]

Twice, first time cause it got boring, second time cause my account got hacked and I couldn't be bothered to spend another 100 bucks to get a new wotlk account. [I couldn't be bothered cause it was boring. Go figure]

First time: This was about a year or two after it came out. I was a Paladin. Got to level 56. Being Paladin pre-patch 1.11 (or 1.16? I forgot.. One of them) was a royal pain. You were pretty much useless. I remember my friend telling me to start looking for cloth gear since I'd mainly be healing in raids. I couldn't kill anything and my heals sucked. I was slow, sluggish, and boring. I quit!

Second time: I bought the game new, and started my dwarf rogue. It was fun. I quit because of timing and all that.

Third time: This time, I think I quit for good. Got that Dwarf Rogue to 80 and discovered that there's nothing to do. I couldn't PVP since my gear sucked, I couldn't do any group things since my gear sucked... It was frustrating. No thanks.

Cataclysm looks enticing, but if I ever want an MMO again, I'll head back to LOTRO.

I've quit WoW three times and haven't gone back since rise of the lich king. I just couldn't stand how many hours of my life that game stole.

I quit WoW three times before it finally stuck.
