Anyone else switching a lot between characters and in the end doing nothing?

I can’t make myself to commit to 1 character, usually I play with one character for sometime and something triggers in me and I just switch off to different character … Like example with my Blood DK, multiple bad Mythic+ Pug runs, makes me want to quit tanking … Then I start to level other characters, like Hunter hitting max level, gearing them and again something triggers and I switch and start to level, but now, I have already gone through this leveling process multiple times, which resolves in boredom or chore to level…

And in the end, it feels like I’m just login into game, don’t know what to do, and just sitting afk most of the time, because leveling or doing quests = boring (everything has be done already 2+times), running dungeons as tank makes me stressed out, with all the rushing, even though I’m pulling a lot and my HP constantly is at 5%, sometimes I just say screw it and leave dungeon, even if there a chance to +1-2 … And knowing how my tank is doing in dungeon groups, I just stay away with my DPS characters.

How do you guys find something to do + being devoted to one character, because I feel like my exhaustion comes from having multiple characters, which revolves of doing same content over and over.

Uff, maybe I need a break from this game ?

I have been suffering this same problem. You are just bored with the game and a new class is only entertaining for a short while. Once I get all my alts leveled I will probably quit unless new raid is awesome or azerite begins to suck less.

Nah, I just go straight to doing nothing. Waste too much time and energy rotating through characters and still wind up doing nothing. Skip the fuss … go straight to the end.

yep exactly the same for me rogue/druid/hunter repeat

I was dealing with this a lot as well. It’s burnout, take a breather.

However, there is another issue as well; perspective. I used to feel a lot of pressure to progress every time I logged in, and it stressed me out. Realizing that the point of the game is to HAVE FUN really improved my take on everything.

If I feel like pvp that’s what I do, same with questing, gearing up, or just exploring. DO WHAT IS FUN. If nothing seems fun, go do something else.

I’m switching a lot between characters but it ain’t about doing nothing, it’s about making that money!

I switched to this healer and are doing chain epic bgs. I have found it fun trying to keep the health bars up instead of down. Just an idea.

I healed almost all Legion on my EU account, don’t want to anymore

I’ve been cycling through alts lately too. It’s more gratifying to level and gear fresh 120s than it is to work on raising ilvl past 370 and getting BiS items.

Burnout has never happened to me and I played like 8+ hours a day in Legion, I already playing like multiple times less than in Legion, but something is with BFA that makes me like what I am now … Stressed and bored

I’m playing my Area 52 rogue for gold that I send to my mage so she can craft the jewelled panther mount.

I want all of them, have the sapphire mount and am playing just to get those.
Once done, I’ll probably take a break.

Usually you get 380ish ilvl and then its all about RNG, will it titanforge or not and constantly running for example +10 keys in hope of titanforge trinket or wait and hope for weekly loot-box … Kinda puts frustration when you get 4 bracers in the row which titanforges

I used to that a lot. That is how I ended up w/ so many characters.

Nice thing is if you hit a wall at one point you can just jump to another.

I wish I could avoid the walls

I’m pretty much same. It’s becoming difficult for me to log in and do things. I know there is countless things to do in WoW - but they are not attracting me and making me want to stay on for hours like it used to in past.

I don’t know what’s going on… I love WoW to death but I’m worried that I might’ve grown tired of WoW after 11+ years…

I’ve devoted my time to collecting the various Warfront gear appearances and raising my honor level in PvP, so even switching character and even faction, I still work towards the same goals.

You are a prophet … same here as I just go blah.

RNGsus has been cruel in general this xpac. My warrior has received 5 identical helmets from 3 different sources in the past month or so.

Well everyone’s taste is different. Most people I know loved BC but I found it dull.

I would get to 60 and then go level a lower alt rather than level another to 70. I think I only had two 70s by the time Wrath launched.
