I only have 1 friend who plays WoW and if not for him I would finally quit for good, honestly. He’s the only thing that makes the game any fun nowdays.
You shouldn’t need to motivate yourself. Go find something else to do with your time until you feel like playing.

Setting goals and moderation. Taking it easy and not sweating the small stuff. Sometimes I just chill out and meme on Trade Chat. Every now and then I just sit down and chat with someone and from time to time I end up surprised, like hearing from someone how I inspired them to push further tends to trigger those feel-good social chemicals.
Like right now, I’m not really actively playing as much because most of my goals are done, I do hop in for raid, or randomly jump into M+ pugs for vault to fulfill the desire to push buttons though most of my off-time is spent in other games at the moment, now that the almost burnout-inducing storm grind is done for me.

Honestly, I don’t need to “motivate” myself to play, I log on because I am still having fun with the content I enjoy, there are days when i turn my laptop on and think - nah, not today, those days, I don’t launch WoW at all. There are times when my breaks are a week long to months long.
IMHO - If you find yourself literally trying to find motivation to play a game it’s time to take a step back.

I like grinding for stuff idk. This game just has so many different things to do if i get too bored/frustrated with one thing i do something else.
I was raiding 4 days a week for most of my playtime until now where i just farm cosmetics/gold and honestly its just as fun to me.

I’ve no idea myself, I usually manage to play half a month non stop then I just completely lose all my motivation.
I don’t usually fit in guilds, I just don’t enjoy talking to people overall and in WoW it’s no exception, so I tend to just show up for raid nights then leave once I clock in the hours. Usually halfway through prog I just want to stop playing, after getting bored of the routine. So I tend to quit after letting the guild leader know and they get someone to replace me, then I disappear for months and only come back once the WoW itch starts kicking in again.
Naturally, by the time I come back I have no guild, so I just spend the rest of the expansion guildless until people start recruiting again a month before a new expansion comes out. What’s worse is that I can’t even bring myself to RP anymore, so it begs the question: “Why am I even still playing?” To which I can offer no satisfactory answer.
What happens is that they say “NEW STUFF !!!” and I come running.
Tbh I’ve barely logging in lately. Don’t really know what to do as I’m pretty well geared other then glove, legs and chest mythic tier lvl though 23rd is end so idk not worth doing. Llol
I take breaks every so often and then come back to it when folks I like to play with are doing stuff.
I have fun pugging. I recently made my way back to an old guild that is mostly abandoned but it’s special to me. I helped make it back in wrath with some great friends that are now offline for a long time lol.
Before this, I became burnt out being in a guild that was quite active. I feel bad for sort of bailing but I was losing my enjoyment for the game trying to do so much for/with others. It really started feeling more like a job and then people started just leaving after carrying them and stuff. It was like effort that wasn’t going anywhere. Although I’m also proud of many of them and how hard they worked to make it as far as they did difficulty wise in the game this expansion.
I liked it but got burnt out. I missed solo play. I missed logging in and just doing whatever the heck I wanted. Now I’m back in a familiar place, and am enjoying the game. It’s probably more about finding balance and finding out what you really enjoy in the game than just an active guild.

It’s still fun for me. As long as it’s fun, I will play.
Not that I don’t take breaks now and then.
fwens>? wat is that fwens? :3
OP… are you me? Because it really sounds like you’re me 
Honestly, though, I have nothing else to do. Got no life, so might as well waste it playing WoW lol I’ll play for a few months non stop and not play anything else, then I’ll get bored and move back to the sims or my playstation.
For me, I’m an anti-social person who doesn’t have a good track record with human beings. I don’t mind playing solo, especially since I like to quest and explore rather than go through dungeons or raids like most of the people I encounter.
It does get lonely and it honestly sucks. Sometimes I just wanna level with someone else or just have someone to talk to while I’m playing, but I haven’t really found that yet. It is what it is. I’m used to playing games alone so it doesn’t bother me as much as it used to.
I hope you’re able to enjoy the game again or, if you decide to move on, I hope you find something else that can keep you entertained c:
I play solo, i think its better to be self dependent than like your guild or friends, cuz what if your friends quit or your guild no longer likes you , you cant play anymore

lol wat? this happens??
Yea its just people , people do sometime dont like people anymore, or you can try doing some bad dps see how much they gonna like you
if you’re in a guild where the members talk crap about ur dps, you’re in a trash guild.
Its not the members, its usually the raid leads, and officers
they’re probably just deflecting for their lack of success in the real world so they have talk down to players in a video game.
Hey man your doing bad dps in keys ? You cant come, you doing bad dps in raids , you cant come, = they dont like you no more
