I will be the first to admit trying other games and enjoying my time in them I love FFXIV but I’ve always loved final fantasy so that was a given.
It is not WoW. I’ve played in this same world for years vs every final fantasy game being set in a different world. I need WoW it is a part of me, it’s my escape.
WoW has contributed to helping me stay away from more harmful bad habits, I’ve been lucky enough to replace addictions.
My real life is not great it’s been terrible and is getting worse. I need WoW to be fun, I need it to not be a chore anymore. I want to enjoy my time in the game. Those times are so far and few between with now. It’s just become so obvious blizzards main focus is turning into to tokens and their greed is ruining everything for the players.
Now we are seeing people like Carbot leave for FFXIV and it’s all just so dark. I don’t want WoW to end nor do I want to play with bots, boosters, and boosties.
I miss the community and I miss the game a lot, classic scratches some itches for me but it all seems pointless.
I feel like the one thing I enjoy about life right now is just burning down. People can say it’s a good thing, that I need to go outside but I’m a failure outside. I tried for 20 yrs being normal and not being a problem citizen. Now I function at least. Work from home and play WoW. I don’t cause anymore problems.
I need it to stay that way. Stop ruining our game and start making some changes that will add enjoyment to the game. Stop the greed, people see right through it.

I’m no therapist, but I feel you need to branch out more. WoW can’t be your only game… it just can’t be fun forever, especially if it’s like your only source for fun. Nobody is saying to cut WoW cold turkey, but maybe during content droughts when you’re bored, disassociate the idea that you’re “leaving WoW” and just play another game for a side investment. I dabble in all MMO’s because for me, they’re a fun genre and I enjoy the idea of my progress meaning something in the long run. WoW is my main game but it feels great to have others, because every MMO has dark times and it’s nice to have backups just in case.

I mainly play WoW, but I have literally dozens of steam, switch and Origin games that I could jump back into.
I’ve enjoyed the epicness of WoW, but it definitely waxes and wanes hard. It’s cheaper and easier to follow, but I have to admit I miss all the hype around other game releases.
I like the fact that WoW can show proof of your dedication in achievements, mounts, etc. This was sorely missing in my play for a day, shelve till I’m one hundred and twelve games.
I just fired up Torchlight and saw all 6 players online. It was a blast for 30 minutes. Things like that are healthy and give perspective

I’m going to be honest here,op, the real world is the physical reality we face everyday is more important than any game ever made by man,even dice. Live your in world moments as best you can because those are shorter than any game that may last for decades .

Your life may be worth it.
But mines not.
I do fine working, paying the bills I have, and playing WoW. I don’t need friends or family, the ones I’ve had were awful.
I would take a chance on new ones but I don’t care enough. I would rather enjoy WoW. I’m not hurting anyone and not one is hurting me doing that.

There’s nothing wrong with playing a game what will happen the world moves on and you become stuck in an endless loop and then the spiraling feeling of lose in life sets in. It’s not health being alone .Sure the game gives some socialization but not good present of mind. People these day stuck in game hardly ever know their neighbors which do at times have more to give.

Umm this is all based on what? I’ll live my life how I want. You don’t know me. I’m fine being alone and want it to stay that way. It’s healthier for me. I don’t sit here and cry about it.
Back on track. I just want the game to be good again, less chores more focus on things we enjoy doing.
it’s not my place to judge, hope you find happiness

yeah, see, that’s what’s got me considering playing it (i’ve yet to install the free trial, only cause i don’t wanna kill my bandwidth) i mean, when you lose fans who literally made a skin for both the old and new versions of your rts game, also made sprays for your moba, that’s when you know you need to turn your game around.
I do hope you find what your looking for ,I can’t tell you your path in life,if the game is the relief you are looking for of course. I only see what i see related to me and mine. I actually find fishing a relaxing way to meditate .

I think people are more so trying to offer you some more solutions.
Sounds like you’re very dependent on WoW being fun. However, let’s be real, WoW’s issues won’t be fixed for at least a year, likely beyond that. If you’ve been around awhile, you know how long patch / expansion cycles are and Shadowlands is already beyond salvation with all the integral systems a part of it. It’s good you’re voicing your disdain so they can take that feedback and hopefully improve on it next expansion. However, in the meantime, just relying on WoW for your fun is not a smart move, as the game is in an extremely terrible state and won’t be fixed for quite some time. Other games to have on the side is definitely a great alternative.

It give me a little peace when the world come crashing down at times,that unexpected knock on my door and unexplained bill in the mail can be jarring.
nothing better than finding a school of crappies, right?
Good luck friend, when i finished the 9.1
campaign, i just log, queue for raid, if i want to do Korthia is up to me, i dont feel “forced” to do it.
Then i go back to my low alt and do Outland quests, read them, same as a good book will make your mind float for a while.
