:) hi i'm new here. :P i ended up hating wow not because my girlfriend is addicted to it or something like that (dough she rly is ^^ gets angry at me if i sit at her pc cus she needs to play etc..dailys in Dalaran -.-).

I HATE the game because it simply is boring and i wasted my time on it for a year! >.<

I tried playing it twice and found it repetitive, unimaginative, boring grind for nothing...so i quit. Still i grew up on video games like many of the guys, learned English and German through them....so i had to play it to the end just to see and accomplish playing it. Its like reading a book or watching a movie :P u play the game for the achievement and not to stay in the dark about it. I mean u cant talk about a movie like Sunshine without seing it or about Buddhism and the Dalai Lama without reading some books , much the same cant talk bout WoW without playing it (and my friends did/do play it). I also was motivated by a not so great family life which i wanted to escape from in this imaginary world :P like i use books and other video games, movies and music to escape.

The third try i was lucky to have found a good group of ppl and we started talking, 1 thing led to the other and i stayed ingame till wotlk now it has been a year and a few months. I'm lvl 80 tauren druid tank, leader of a huge raid guild with almost maxed out gear :|...and it feels empty....incomplete and unsatisfying. I know when i finished Mass Effect i had this feeling of achievement, of having played an great story, made my choices and came out in the end with an achievement something i was proud of :P got even emotional when the gr8 credits rolled in...stuff like that.

:( wow doesn't give anything like that...its just 1 boring grind to the top, i miss most of the story cus i dont bother reading the endless "kill 10 pigs, kill 15 tigesr kill 25 bears for their livers....deliver the peperoni pizza to Thrall who is 30 minutes of flight points away".

Th ONLY thing that kept me there were the other ppl, my guild, the responsibility towards them and the friendship with may of them.

Honestly for guys who play "games" playing games is sort of like reading books or watching movies for normal people. WoW is diferent its unsatisfying pain in the ass....AND I CAN TRY AS HARD AS POSSIBLE to finish it already and be done with it like any other good game that gives some fun :\ but i cant...its not possible, wow is not made to have an end.

In my personal opinion ppl get stuck in it NOT cus of addiction because i HATED it from start to finish like i hate Legend: Hand of God for being a cheap Diablo 2 knock off, but because its endless and feels like work and u have to do it because others expect u to play it.

The other reason ppl play it is cus they have issues. <_< girls if ur husband plays it and neglects u he probably does not love u and if wow didn't exist he'd probably still neglect u and go out watching football with the guys or work so much he doesn't have to deal with u. It can also be an escape from relationship troubles, maybe he feels unneeded and useless at home idk.

Ok enough rant :P now can anybody tell me how to get my girlfriend off wow cus i want to quit and leave guild/wow and the 2 of us have a lot to talk about -.- wow didn't ruin the relationship if anything it got us more together but i have enough..things were not going good and r still not.
