Playing a game I dont have fun, playing for 5 hours minimum a day, playing for 15 years, doing things i dont enjoy again and again each day.
Playing when every friend in game has either left or is dead.
Its a vicious thing.

You can have Blizzard permanently delete your account if you like.
I have, but eso was crap and all the guys in my guild in age of conan left to play eso.
LOTRO was garbage.
D&D online was ok but got boring really fast.
Meanwhile through all that time I made a free wow account, levelled 10 toons to 20, all exalted with darkmoon faire to get heirloom gears and even got warrior the trink from stranglethorn arena.
This feels more like a professional and you should discuss about.
This forum isn’t the place to seek advice on these types of issues.

Start botting. Actually, don’t. Blizzard doesn’t ban bots anymore.
I got it! Lets cancel addictions!
I usually only come back when I’m interested in new content. I don’t really feel the need to play all the time anymore, but I did used to feel addicted years ago. Playing other games helps, watching tv shows you’ve been putting off, playing other games with friends or making new friends, or just discovering a new hobby that doesn’t require a computer.
They could delete wow servers and cancel the game and it would suck but I’d be alright.
Gotta go play something different or get a hobby

Best advice is to play something different. A lot of people here only know WoW, so it’s understandable why they are so heated and passionate over every little change. If they tried other titles, they would see that WoW is not the only game that exist and maybe start having fun again.
I guess when all you know is the bigmac, you don’t want McDonalds going too far off the rail with any changes to recipe.
Dude, get some help.
I’m not even being stereotypical here. Even people in a normal state of mind should go to therapy. If your addiction is inhibiting your daily life, then this seems to be a more professional issue that forum-goers can’t simply help you with.
Keep playing! the new raid looking amazing.
Half this forum is full of in denial WoW addicts, the help you seek is not here.
I’d strongly advise seeing an addiction councillor, you might also be able to find some guidance on the YouTube channel healthy gamer GG which is a channel I will shamelessly plug any chance I can get

If you don’t enjoy it just don’t play.
If it is addiction and you just feel like you can’t help yourself.
Maybe just find something IRL that you enjoy.
My recommendation is a tiny book called Mini-habits. It’s not necessarily about removing old ones, but more about filling up time with the ones you want to pick up.
It’s helped me pick up other things while also taking the time to play WoW (eating right, getting exercise in every day, etc.).
It’s also a matter of just choosing your priorities. The question is whether you let it overwhelm the rest of your life (work, family, etc.) Then it it’s really an addiction, and perhaps getting actual help would be good. Otherwise it sounds more like you want to build other habits.
it?
it, is you. There is no it. there is no willpower in ‘it’. you cannot call ‘it’ evil, you cannot call ‘it’ bad, you can only start with, and end with, blaming yourself or possibly your parents.
This is the same for any single addiction.
There’s nothing chemical about a video game addiction that inserts into your body. It’s all you this time.
Please do not dilute a meaning by saying you have an outsourced problem when the problem is within you, and as big as watching tv all day.
There is no solution to an addiction. You will never forget what it feels like, you will never lose the itch for it. You can only grow strength to resist or control it. Does that sound like a video game to you?
Click uninstall, so you exercise the privilege of it not being in your body’s system in the first place, but so you can also flaunt that you can remove it from your computer’s system in the click of a button. Then do something else.
Set up a thing to play for you. Like a program. Then reap the rewards. It’s like Russian roulette with your account, either join the other gold capped snobs bidding on BMAH stuff or you’re freed of your addiction. It’s a win win.
