help me quit wow. Im fking addicted to this chit, i have been trying to quit for some time because i noticed that im starting to become lazy in other irl things + procrastinate but i cant do it because i enjoy being with the boys in discord and because i cant leave them just like that considering im their best healer + one of the officers + a new raid came out + they are going to give me a legendary mace
im so stuck. I even tried to just play the raid days but i cant stop thinking of this stupid game all day long. Every day i login to do dailies, arenas and other useless things. Deep down i know i have to quit if i want to go back to the right path but i just cant :(

i cant. im one of the core raiders, the GM (a friend) created the guild because he counted on me. Motherfucker didnt know the responsibility he gave me with just that. Now giving me the legendary item. god damn

then stay as a core raider but rly only login on raid days and weekends. prioritize everything else in your life, whether its irl friends, working out, school, work, hobbies etc. just be disciplined about it, only login if u really have nothing else to do
i know how it is, i decided not to play the new expansion or wotlk because i wanna focus on my education. so far its working

damn wish it was this easy. Right now the raid days are packed. 2 days for Ulduar 25, 1 or 2 for Ulduar 10, maybe a pug Naxx/Sarth for good gear you are missing, friends calling me to play fucking arenas and the daily heroic quest. Im trapped

Ask a salary from him for your job
Sorry man, but all you said are excuses, he gave me legendary mace and I'm going to continue playing, c'mon man, grab your balls if you want to quit it, go outside, get a job, go out with friends every day, socialise, when you realize all reasons you are still playing are excuses you will stop playing, until than good luck bro. Its's tough I know, I played WoW for 8 years, but eventually everyone has to get priorities strait.
i would actually do anything to enjoy wow again when i was a kid i was super obsessed and 100% immersed every time i played but like i think it was also because at the start like when i was 5yo i didnt have a pc so i would only play for 1 hour when i would go to my friends place on his brother pc but that hour was like full immersion walking in durotar with my trol not caring about quests or anything thinking its real then i got my own pc and binged 24/7 but rn i subscribed again last year and gave up in 3 days it feels so boring and feeling is gone gg

This is what i also miss exploring the world wondering around not knowing what to do and enjoying the game......these days every game has guides and tutorials on youtube and everyone is tryharding with those tips
was it wotlk classic? this expansion is drug as hell

yup. to understand how much i loved playing wow like just know that i would literally do pit of saron and forge of souls every day over and over again like 7 times a day and not get bored of it lol

That is exactly when you take a good dose of a psychedelic or dissociative drug to allow yourself to escape your own obsessed mind for a moment, and feel what it would be like to not have WoW constantly in your head living rent-free and going insane over it.
Ru playing wrath classic?

yes

You could just hard out that shit and throw the computer in the garbage, but you might get regrets. Imo - finish it. Play your main, just one, and only raid log. Minimum amount of prep. If you just stick to that, it's 2 nights a week, it's fine.
Then after the Lich King kill just let the sub run out. You've done your duty, you can retire in peace.
Just have some fuckin discipline for fuck's sake. You'll enjoy the game more even. But then don't play again. And don't try retail.
That's what I'd do at least. Oh and enjoy your valanyr. What ru playing, hpal?

I have been thinking of taking a break in TOC and come back just to finish ICC and help my friend get his shadowmourne. Hope i can do it, because TOC is just a catch up raid
No, i will never try retail that might be the end for my life
Thanks. Yea i have been playing Hpala since vanilla classic

Yeah that's even better, TOC is suck
I quit Wow after MoP cuz the game just turned more shit ever since. so the game made that decision for me. but i feel u smoking weed playing wow i did nothing but this for 5-6 years. video game is a bad addiction to have cuz it fucks ur life big times without u noticing.

so then u just stick to the game mainly cuz u have nothing else goin on in your real life, so u know the problem, now u need to fix that. find other stuff with a social aspect like that. take classes of something u genereally interested in.

Some arab oil guy bought his son into a top10 guild from our server for 3 million, they just carried him in raids and gave him all the loot and supported their progress.
6 replies
they are still doing that. I know some people that raid for arabs and they pay them a salary and such. They bring a few arabs into raids and give them whatever loot they want
not to mention GDKPs where they go in with bought gold and buy everything

if you are so close to GM and all what you mentioned before maybe that would a way to at least make the best out of your situation by milking arabs

Maybe i see it in a distorted way but as a long time retail myth raider and m+ player everything in classic is really easy to me.

Yeah thats what supposed to be. But this time the HMs are prenef i think and are way harder than other raids
2 replies
Other raids in classic? I agree but it doesnt come close to anything in retail
1 reply
yep harder than other raids from classic
+1 I think its really about balance
dunno, i play wednesday/sunday 19-22 during raid hours, and maybe do the 8 m+ runs along with tops 2hrs of other things per week, so in total 12-14 hrs per week, and thats enough for mythic progression, getting keystone hero, having fun and its not too much time consuming for me, its reasonable, after that it's diminishing returns since having a full 421 m+ vault and 2/3 mythic vaults are enough only that to keep up with everyone else
idk tho i only play retail
2 replies
I do 2 days of ulduar25 (6h), another 2 days of ulduar10 (4h), archavon 10/25, wintergrasp every 3h if i remember (badges for pvp gear), daily hc for new badges, daily bg for arenapts+honor, naxx10/25 last 2 boss for gear, arenas 2v2 and 3v3 with the boys...
Rn classic might have more things to do than retail
1 reply
probably yeah, classic is built for 16yr olds, retail is designed for 30yr olds since there have hardly come any new players for the past 10 years haha

I never raided ulduar so maybe thats why im so trapped. In original wrath i just played p1
if you really want to quit, delete all your characters and uninstall the game. This much pain will be enough to never start it again. Everytime when you think about the game, the pain will help you. If you not delete your characters just waiting for sell and always a new excuse will keep you not doing it. Block your buddies on discord and never talk to them ever again. First do than think. Thank me later, Good Luck.

i'd consider video game addiction to the likes of cocaine use(no addiciton), no joke. the dopamin/serotonin we get from completing quests, killing a hard boss in virtual reality gives us a big high so when the hobby becomes a habit, u have a problem.

Yea you are totally right. The dopamine from killing a hard boss or doing a good timer in speedrun... drug as hell

oh you playing classic? You never play wotlk when it come out mens? Just try to get good gear for your main so you feel satisfied and then you can quit, progress should not be hard because the raid is not that difficult

This video is very good on this subject. Dunno if you're really into all the spiritual stuff like gratitude dairy etc. but you should really check the video out, and take whatever you can use from it.

I was in a top 25 EU guild and still had pienty of time to get laid
Not that i got laid, why would non virgins be on HLTV... Just saying i had the time u know
2 replies
You wasn’t getting laid like that being active in no damn top 25 guild lol. Them shits took hoursssss and they were heavy raiding on the weekends.
But to your point you can have a gf and smash but, unless u got a gamer chick, that’s a quick end to a relationship. I’m not a teenager or a kid so, maybe times have changed.

Yeah i have about 1000days of /played time on my main + they expected us to have atleast 2 alts ready, but still i could have made time to go out
send me ur account ill take ur place u can grind irl ill become a recluse
I used to be hooked on that sht as well I remember even at night in my dreams I was playing the game.. For me I got a gf and started partying more. But i was like 15 back than. Probably a full time job and a girl or going out with friends who are not playing this game would be the solution for you.
ask ur boyfriend to slap u for beeing a nerd ^^

There are more people playing classic than retail
i used to play a lot, and still playing it from time to time. judging from my exp. - i play WoW in times when i get bored irl, or some bad sht happens to me irl, so i want to forget about all irl shit and dive into this game, to use it as a distraction
my longest break was like 3 years, when i had a nice and interesting job irl, which was almost like my hobby and i got payed for it.
so solution is easy - find some activity irl, that u r enjoying to do
Good post, Qwneer.
Jokes aside. How old are you? If sub 27, just play and have fun. Your WoW phase is gonna last another 1 1/2 year at maximum, because Cataclysm is bad and retail will always be dogshit. Chances are your guild or Blizzard implodes before that anyway. My personal experience is that quitting due burnout (playing too much) is a lot easier and more effective when addicted. After I got r13 + BWL BiS in OG Classic (world buff collecting, parsing, bracket stacking pvp) I couldn't see the game anymore and sold my account 300$. Only regret I have is not doing it as a teenager in vanilla WoW.
1 reply
im 28. Yeah i know and im 100% sure that this will be the last expansion of WoW i will ever play. But right now i see the 30s close, jobless for some months and wasting many hours in WoW, i panic a bit when i think about it. Got friendzoned 2 months ago too. Hope blizzard releases the phases quickly and i can finish wotlk in less than a year and focus on life
r13? if you were going to rank all the way to r13 at least finish it and make it to r14 haha. Vanilla classic was so much fun probably the best gaming years of my life. Wbuff meta, warrior stacking, wpvp, dispelling buffs.... god, would play vanilla for the rest of my life
I've had periods like this with multiple games over the years. When a game starts controlling my life as hard as WoW does yours, I start feeling more and more shitty about it until the moment I get angry and uninstall. Then I usually do a lot of extra hours at work to keep busy, after a couple days I'm usually rid of the addiction.
Just limit it to raiding. There's nothing wrong with spending 3-4 hours a few times a week to raid, it's healthy to do something you find fun and rewarding.
Cut off the useless shit likes dailies or mythic dungeons and shit like that, and focus on school or whatever it is you need
Watch anime, this thing will require much time so you will take this time from WoW
After you're done you will already get used to new amount of time spent on WoW so you will have additional free time
Go on vacation. Take a break from WoW under 1 condition: you come back after 3-4 weeks. Tell that to your guildmates, they should understand.
So basically now you can't log in into the game, because you will look like an idiot AND you get a shit ton of free time which you can plan right away, pick some activity (book reading is the easiest imo) outside of gaming and gym and stick to it. Maybe start looking for a job even lol.
1 reply
i will do it. I'll take a ''vacation'' for the whole next phase. I'll miss the boys and chatting with them in discord but i have to do it if i want to steer my life. With some luck they find a good replacement and i dont even have to come back for the last phase

when you realise your putting so much work into an online character and if you put half of much effort into your real life character you would be very successful
start to think of yourself as a person to level up and grind different stuff in the real world
that mindset helped me realise that the game is fruitless

don't play until you get a job EZ
Think of it like this: If you do those things you can play WoW as long as you want to.It will be (almost) the same as now, just you dont feel bad afterwards. Nothing wrong with having fun with mates playing games, there is no reason to quit altogether but you can change how you feel after playing. Just do what you have to and WoW will feel twice as great.
2 replies
job and wow arent compatible. Wish i could get a decent job so i have a really valid reason to quit
1 reply
if you watch the documentary on world first raiders you can see that there are people doing world first while getting PhD and working.
"A valid reason" wont come itself, even if you get your job you will probably slack off if you dont change your behaviour. You might quit WoW just to spend 8 hours per day watching youtube videos, it wouldnt be any better.

i would be leaving many online friends behind :(
Give all your belongings to your teammates and tell them you already took your decision to quit. Uninstall the game and never install it again.
You know you're harming yourself by feeding that addiction. You've got to cut the rope with it. Don't put your mental or physical health in danger for some videogame. Don't isolate yourself from society for a worthless bunch of pixels.
What truly matters is spending time with friends and family and multiply experiences. Take time for yourself out of the screen, walk through the forest, visit friends and families on weekend, hunt for the best restaurants in your region, plan a cool trip in a nearby country/region, etc ...
Stop living the digital life, start living the real life. You'll see, you'll feel way better and WoW will appear like a complete waste of time and energy to you.

i already did the give all my gold and farm materials to guildies twice in the past and somehow i always got convinced to come back in a later phase or expansion. im so naive
i know, rn without a job what i most do is spend time visiting my parents every day but when i come back to house its wow time always :(. no friends to hang out, maybe once per week
1 reply
Once a week is already a good basis. Maybe you can volunteer for a local association. Whatever it is. Helping at your local animal shelter, distribute free soup, red cross, local amateur radio station, or join a sport club (climbing, football, rugby, basketball, running, skateboard, whatever).
The thing is that your home time should be focused on real stuff. If you have full days outside, when you come home you don't have 8 hours to spend on the PC. You've got to clean the apartment and do laundry, prepare for the next day, cook/eat, and get a good sleep because you're tired from that full day.
The key is to spend little time at home, because if you've got a full day staying alone at home, boredom and lazyness will bring you to the PC again and to videogames.
Also from the activities mentioned before you'll meet people, new friends, and potentially a girlfriend. A girlfriend fills your schedule pretty fast. And if she's home with you you'll be busy enough not to play videogames ;)
If you enjoy it - it's not waste of time. Fnck IRL if something outside IRL brings you more joy. As long as it doesn't hardcore ruin your life and life of people around you, like drugs, you shouldn't feel bad. Enjoy your time, have fun, do your best at raids and chill collecting resources. Eventually you will either get bored and switch to something else or you won't get bored and you'll continue getting good vibes and emotions. In the end of the day, we are just a bunch of star dust and it doesn't matter if you build a spaceship or kill a goblin in WoW - the value of our achievements comes from people and since eventually there won't be neither you nor other people, just have a good time while you can.
