Goodbye World of Warcraft ? for now....
*note: a digression from my usual Spurs/NBA ramblings
As you may or may not know, I have been playing World of Warcraft since open beta. I have been known to be very passionate and competitive in the things I do, in real life. So, it come as to no surprise that these very traits have also seeped in to my "virtual" life. Gremir is the name of my alter-ego in world of warcraft. He is a level 60 warlock. With Gremir, I have already achieved and accomplished lots of things. To name a few, I pride myself to be the 2nd warlock in the server to reach the maximum level 60 and the first lvl 300 enchanter in the server.
World of Warcraft is a very fun game. I think it is one of the best games I have ever played. I literally have spent days and nights playing the game trying to improve my character's equipments, exploring new contents and killing high-end bosses/dragons. I am also very thankful that I made new friendships through this game.
As I said before, some of my competitiveness and passion have seeped into my gaming life, to a point that it can be considered an obsession. I have spent the past 4-5 months trying to be the one of the best warlocks in game.
The question is how can you be the best warlock in world of warcraft?
Considering that WoW is very gear-dependent. I would say that the best way to be on top is by having a very good stats (hp/int/sta) + knowing how to use (micro-manage) your character properly. I can say that I pretty much have already nailed the latter. But how can you have good stats? The only way to achieve good stats is by getting better equipments, which means raiding high level instances.
I am so grateful to be part of a guild that I can call family and have already killed one of the hardest boss in game. I have been part of most of the "instance-raiding" with hopes of improving my gears and helping advance the guild as a whole. However, I can honestly say that recently WoW hasn't been that much fun for me but has somewhat become an unhealthy obsession. Countless days of farming Scholomance only to get nothing. Weekly MC runs only to not have any warlock epic drops. That + what is happening to the guild lately + passing lots of good gears to a certain warlock and then to just find out that he left the guild. Lately, I have been having this huge burden on my chest and frustrations.
With grad school starting for me this week and work, I know I won't be able to join instance runs anymore because of schedule. So...I have taken this opportunity to not renew my WoW subscription and take a break from WoW. I won't say just yet that I have quit WoW. What I do know is that the day I play WoW again is the day it becomes fun for me again.
I would like to take this opportunity to say my farewells to all of the friends I made in-game.
