Once my paladin hit 80, I closed the account. I was tempted to join a permanent group and do some raiding or something, but the game takes a lot of time and I was looking for a good stopping point. I originally started WoW just to give it a test drive and see what all the noise was about, and I figured I had accomplished that objective once I had a character at 80.![]()
I'm finally trying to do the farming on this second 80 to get swift flight. I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time in Stranglethorn.
[It's like alcohol. You enjoy it in the beginning, but when you're maxed out you just want to puke.

Truth. For me, the quickly burned myself out of the WoW infatuation stage during Burning Crusade, and Wrath and Cataclysm exist(ed) for me as this giant self-perpetuating cycle in which I play only because I've invested too much time to quit, yet I continue to invest more time. The funnest part for me has always been quitting and the coming back grind process of gearing a character from nothing and then getting it to a respectable point once again; This mentality has result in (6) level 85 characters. I like the game up until the point to where I have to join guilds to progress further and then restart that entire process of dealing with the egos & bureaucracy that entail being in high end raiding guilds.
Also, at this stage in the game, I care so little about the actual game itself, yet I play just because it's an OK time-sink. I'll probably be quitting again here fairly soon.
lol. I fucking can't stand the leveling process and I hate pet classes with a passion; to this end I only play the game to raid and catch achievements.
I want a fury warrior so fucking bad right now; but I can't seem to commit time to leveling because I enjoy the high level stuff ._."
Here she is! My forsaken Warlock, finally past lvl 10hahah
