Another lost level 60

[Alarick]

I feel bad having to post this, but it's official now.

I have just cancelled the subscription for WoW, so I will not be playing anymore starting June 9th.

It's a shame, but I have been thinking about this for a couple weeks now. I never feel like playing anymore. The instance grinds bore me, and that's assuming I have the time to sit down for them anymore. Part of it is luck, but I've only seen 2 pieces of the Devout set, one someone else got because I had already picked up a blue that run, and another was sent to me by Grizz.

The end game is just a bore, and I can't see myself continuing to sit there on the handful of days when I can get a group to do instance runs. I don't, and for all purposes will never, have time to do Molton Core runs. Thus, I'm already heavily limited in what I will ever be able to do in game.

At the end of the summer, I may be back. I'm going to keep track of what is coming for the game across those 3 months, but I doubt the 2 or 3 patches that will be put out over the summer (hopefully) will add enough to make me want to come back.

There needs to be more casual content in the game. A game that places progression solely on items is severely limited in long-term content to begin with. The "casual" content in the game offers very little new items to "progress" a character.

In my eyes, Blizzard needs to either stop marketing the game as casual friendly, or add a large amount of casual content into the end game. There needs to be something to keep those players busy at level 60 even if they can only play and hour or 2 a night. I fall into this category, and I feel that there's little to nothing for me to do in game on a typical night.

Sure, I could do a DM run, but without a well-versed group, it could easily pass that 2 hour mark, and it has for me in the past. I'm sure the west instance would take longer than 2 hours for an average run.

Hopefully, you will all see Alarick back in Ironforge again this coming fall. At the current rate and typical type of content being added to the game, it doesn't seem very likely.

I will be on a few times in the last two weeks, but as it has been for the past couple weeks, it probably won't be much as I have little reason to keep getting on.
