I love a majority of the game, Ion manages to burn my noodles with his absurd decisions and obstinance frequently enough…but yeah…PLAYERS ruined the game for me around end of Legion, early BFA.
The wife and I both just do solo for the most part now. Looking for a day when the entire game can be played offline on my own machine here at home.
Man… I was in my mid-30s when WOW was released.
I have a daughter in her mid 30’s. I don’t know if age is an actual factor here.
You’re never too old for WoW!! I’m 35, started when I was 16 when it first came out. I got married last year, had a little baby boy this year, life is just getting started!! And with WoW, I’ve never been more excited to play, especially with all the new expansions!!
Yeah, I don’t play as much as I used to, and the content that I might want to, but!! I’m still enjoying my time in World of Warcraft!! 
.
Is not old, by any stretch of the imagination.
This is probably the culprit, right there. Take a break, most people do, not sure, but I don’t think there are that many players who have played without any breaks at all since WoW’s start.
What the…
I’m 34…if you feel this way I’d ditch the game workouts and do some irl workouts, lol.
This could be true. The game has changed a lot from back in the day. Take a break, WoW isn’t going anywhere. 
Lol, I am old enough to be your father dam near grandfather territory.

35 here… that’s not old, have a 70 year old guy in my guild that raids heroics… so I think the game is fairly accessible you just need to find the class that works for you.
BM hunter’s are extremely trivial to play with very simple rotations, fairly confident an 8 year old could play one with some basic training.
Frost mage (basically follow the on-screen prompts) and in a PvE environment it’s basically just a turret.
Ret Paladin would be next, though speed is a bit more important here as you’ll be spamming abilities as they come off cooldown and you do have to do some melee juggling.
Everything else isn’t as brain-dead, need to use some thought to overlay buffs and such.
If you feel it’s too fast paced just play a slower class or one that is more methodical so you don’t have to burn as many thought cycles on what to do next.
Outside of that, decent addons help to remind you during combat; good weak-aura setup basically acts as a reminder for key abilities and decent nameplates (Plater) basically help to track your debuffs being applied.
It might also mean stepping down from running higher-end content, don’t “have” to run Mythic raids or +20 a key just having Heroic Raid gear puts you ahead of pretty much anything Blizzard will throw at your overworld / legacy content farming.
If Mythic content is what gives you enjoyment in WoW… just gotta find a group in your skill-range.
that is not old at all. i was 47 when i was in my mid 30’s and i was as vibrant as a spring chicken.
Hmm? Wow is a pretty good game to play if you’re older, and 30 isn’t old. 
Not too many years ago in PvP one of our shot callers was a woman in her 80’s who had suffered a stroke. She slurred a little but was great at tagging and calling out healers.
I think it took her about 6 months to get her Bloodthirsty (250k kill) title.
She even helped us kill John "Swifty " Pyle a few times. We’d watch his stream to see where in-game he and his followers were - then destroy them. A great guy he had a sense of humor about it. But it was always hilarious to us that an 80-year-old granny helped us dog-pile a lot of players with far better raw skills than we had.

Age is no barrier to communication and coordination - in fact, youth itself is often a barrier to that.
Forget your weaknesses.
Play your strengths.
Generally I do, but I get lazy in cold winters.
I want your gold but don’t want to be on your server. Could you pay to transfer to my server before giving me your gold? thanks.
I’m 40+ and started playing in vanilla, its just how comfortable you are playing, if you are doing heroic/normal raids for example, you won’t learn the first few times, you have to do it over and over and over again until you get it down, its repetitive but thats the only way I learn and its the same with a lot of people. Blizzard isn’t really helping people learn, which there is another thread that explains this well. It’s not your fault and it has nothing to do with age.
As for making friends on wow, dont make me laugh. I gave up on guilds and making friends right after Wrath, its not even worth it for me to try to make friends. I have a family which gives me everything a friend would have given me, this is how I want my life to be. This is again something Blizzard does not understand, they try to push the social angle of the game so people can make friends, but that’s not how things are anymore in WoW, premades are a perfect example of this haha.
As for taking a break, It’s how I learned how to fly 3d helicopters using simulators, eventually playing for long peroids of time you get burned out and you really dont learn anymore, you gotta put the transmitter down and come back later and you will realize that you have learned a lot just by having a break.
Just want to say that the normal raids I have done thus far and even heroic, I used no friends, they were complete strangers who I really dont want to be friends with other than downing a boss.
Not sure how I ever managed to ever even level when I started in Wrath at age 47. I’m 62 now and haven’t even taken a break. I have a lot of KSMs and AoTCs.
In your 30’s isn’t old.
Hey I’m turning 36 here soon and I can say that there are definitely folks much much older that still play.
I will say, Havoc is pretty intense with momentum. You might find more success and/or peace of mind with another class.
73 here.
And I often feel the same way as the OP.
After all, I have permanently quit…a few times.
What I have discovered, however, is that I am too old to play anything else. I do not have the patience or interest in learning any other system or, for the most part, game.
Wrong to the Nth degree. I am 52
Means youre too young or too addicted to the new generation where everything is offensive
I feel old as well but doesn’t stop me from playing WoW. I’m 36 and been playing since I was…hmmm…25 or 26 so guess I’m veteran player? Now if you excuse me, I need to shake my cane and yell at kids for stepping on my lawn.
