Taking some time off
Hi all,
I wanted to let you know all know that I've decided I'm going to be taking some time off from the World of Warcraft. I've been going pretty much non-stop since December of 2004 and have well over 150 days played between all of my toons on 3 different servers. As I reflect on this, I have to wonder what the hell I've been doing with my life!
I think my current frustration over BWL is a good indicator that I've become too close and too enamored with a game. My wife's been telling me this for a year! Chastising people in this forum because they don't want to dedicate the same time to a game that you do is absurd and I apologize. You're all great people and you deserve better. Over the past few months the game has started to become a whole lot less fun. The time that Blizz demands for advancement is simply too steep for me anymore. When the game stops being fun, it's time to stop playing. I think that in the best interest of my mental health I need to step back for a while. I want to let you know that I've really enjoyed questing, raiding and grinding with all of you. I may pop in for a dungeon run here or there but my days as a "raider" are over.
As always, stay safe and be well.

Re: Taking some time off
Bear, we've had numerous conversations on this so I completely understand where you are coming from. Sometimes a bit of time may be what's needed. Maybe when Blizz finally gets BC in order the time demands won't be as great. I'm sure I'll see you around in game

I'll miss you, but I fully support your call to do what you need to do.
We'll keep a candle in the window for you!

Re: Taking some time off
AW.... ill stop calling you snuggles....
jk... i honor your choice... u talk about how steep the slope of advancement is in this game... even steeper is the slope between having fun.. and getting burnt out/ground into the ground
