I need to rant, I need to rave I need to vent my frustration and anger at people that I today stopped playing with. Maybe I'll update more maybe not I dunno, I'am a fairly random person in that respect.
I play WoW, woo in fact I've been an on and off player sense the start. I've quit twice before mostly due to being bored and wanting to focus more on other games in my free time. Today I think I quit for the third time.
I used to be a raider, and an avid pvper. I was top class raiding and in my spare time I was sitting in 2100+ teams. I was pretty happy with it. I've been doing that kind of thing sense Mid-Burning Crusade and I enjoyed it. I was that guy that who, probly spent too much time on it and then everything fell apart and I found myself on a Rp-PvE realm from the 2nd half of Wrath of the Lich King till today.
A very bad realm. How bad you say? 210 ranked in the us realm list bad. A realm that makes a small fish on a top end realm the biggest god damn fish in the pond on a realm like this. I ended up in a social guild, with a bunch of casual to be blunt noobs. I hate it.
I hated it, I should say. In starcraft terms it's being a Plat player in bronze. You are not the best, but you damn sure are better then anyone else around and they will lavish praise on you while asking questions, proding and wanting advice. I got sick of it. I am sick of it. I am not a bad guy I don't mind helping people I love it but I've been telling people the same things for awhile now. It's maddening. "Don't stand in that!" and..they stand in it again, and again, and AGAIN.
I told them all off today. I ranted, I didn't even curse. I just told them they where terrible, they had no room for improvement the majority of them, I was tired of trying of helping of tolerating. I was tired of being scolded by fellow guild officers to be nicer and to be more forgiving for the same mistakes. I snapped. I could of been nicer about it, but I just couldn't anymore. I used to be a nice person, I used to not be in a guild where the most evil word was "elitist."
I regret it, but I don't. It feels sooo good to finally be rid of them all but then you realize you kind of burned the bridges and you can't go back. I am at a crossroads I kinda enjoy the character I play and while I don't raid as much as I used to I did pvp and I did enjoy that but I just don't know what to do. I guess for now I am just going to quit again. I have other games, better games to play in my free time right?
I can go back to Sc2, I can get more uo time with the TL guild on ipy2(You should check that out if you know uo!) I can do other stuff for my hobby times.
Still I am going to miss it, it was fun having minor efame on that backwater realm. I am not going to say it wasn't. You enjoy people fearing and respecting your ability. The fact you played classes others didn't and did well with them and caused many a trouble in pvp was amusing to me and kept my hands busy.
I'll miss some things, I won't others. I most likely shouldn't of logged in tonight slightly well more then slightly buzzed.
Then again it feels sorta good. Perhaps I should drink more?

Hehe, i quit near the End of TBC for the same reasons :p....
But i did not make "the final rant", i just logged out and never logged back in and gave no sign of live until Cataclysm hit :D.
Then i rejoined the same guild...
3 Weeks later "we" split the guild in half and since then we are happy :p

oops... comented before reading

If there's one thing i learned from playing wow it's:
- Don't waste your time in a casual guild if you are a competitive player. If you are gonna waste your time raiding do it properly.
There's is nothing worse than torturing yourself wiping again and again because of stupid shit. Join a guild where your skill level is average.
If you're in a guild of lower skilled players you might as well lead them otherwise you're not helping anyone and not gaining any skills.

I know exactly what's up.
My advice though: quit, right now.
MMORPGs are a death trap.
|
It sounds like you need a break indeed.
Perhaps a permanent hiatus would be in your best interest? Do you have other hobbies?
|
If you still enjoy raiding and such and think you're better than the majority of your server, transfer off of it. Find a mid-high pop. PvE or PvP server. You'll get much better guild results there.
I know exactly how you feel though and it was the reason I quit WoW as well. It's just so dependent on other people to get your own goals completed. It's impossible to take 25 people into a raid without some kind of drama or rage or something stupid >_>
I quit and don't regret it one bit. SC2 is my calling now :D

Drink a bit more yo, only if it calms you even though this is a rant it seems calm. Pretty much after TBC WoW got really... dumbed down.. and I mean completely dumbed down. You could have a raid with a bunch of baddies and simply carry them easily. PvP was pretty imba for a bit then it got better and better but it was still nowhere near as fun as it was in BC. One of the most fun moments in TBC was The Isle, oh man dude such great world pvp there while doing your daily's. I really do miss those days.
I've quit WoW for almost a year I'd say and I don't see myself going back. You don't get rewarded because Blizzard just hardcore caters to casuals and it's just not fun =\ and the PvP is mediocre. I'm better off with more competition in BW or another manly game like Checkers.

Update for those curious:
At the lowest point you often find something to save you.
I found a partner, a good one. How good? We've played a day and hit 1800(diamond/highplat equiv I guess?) fairly easily and I can see us going further much further. I am a sucker for ability and a challenge and I was " "this close to just moving on when I log on to see a tell and it all just kinda rolled from that.
I've still decided to cut back and it's pretty much all I plan to do now if only to see how much higher we can go.
I am still going to try out some other games/play those I've been meaning to do so.

In vanilla I was a hardcore raider on the best Horde PvE guild and the best PVP guild for both horde and ally (I didn't really play much pvp back then but it was fun as hell to roll people with a great team for AB or WSG or AV) When I came back (wrath) All I did was do pug raids to get some gear and I mostly focused on the old raids for cool items I liked from BC (like Guldans skull or Gorehowl) Now a days on cata im mostly going around doing old raids when people start one and doing archaeology and collecting mounts and pets. It allows me to not spend much time but still having fun with the game with not really doing pvp or pve at all.
