I played for three years, got five gladiator titles and one rank 1 title, ended up being the best player of my class on my server with the best gear score pretty much every season. I look back at that now and realize how fucking stupid I was to invest that much time into something so useless. My GPA was around 2.8-3.2 as I was playing WoW and skyrocketed to 3.8-4.0 when I started playing less and eventually quit.
I felt REALLY bad when I quit. I was pretty much on the verge of depression because I was leaving all my e-buddies behind. I realized it wasn't so bad when I switched to SC2 because of real ID and skype from time to time, and the real life improvements after quitting are completely worth it.
WoW is the worst possible game to get into as a competitive player. You end up being better than everyone for a few months, then you're back down to the level with casuals that are playing 30 min a day or raiding one hour a week. So, you end up spending even more time getting to the top and the cycle starts over after six months. If I could restart my life, I would stay the hell away from WoW. It's identical to being on a drug.

^^ the truth there. I also wish I never started playing.
