I quit playing as well.
It has more to do with the style of quests in my opinion. Who the F-bomb wants to do a collection quest?
It's a unisex style of mission where anything can do it, healer or dps and they suck.
I used to love leveling alts right up to level 70 where the sucking beings.
They don't want multi boxers and I'm happy to move on.

This is a sad thread in terms of how many people I've gotten great tips from that seem to be going. Are these all "Temp" quits or "Forever" quits?

I'm only just getting started in full-on 5 boxing due to my computer restraints I had before... I feel like I missed the "Golden Years" window of multi-boxing. Hopefully all you vets can keep posting and help us new guys with Tips.

I just got my 4th team to 60 with RaF and have had a blast so far. My RaF ends 2-23-11 and can't wait to get to 85 on my first team. Maybe b/c I'm leveling up in Cata I won't notice how bad 80-85 is since I don't have a basis of comparison. Maybe it's only fun for me because I quit WoW for most of WOTLK.

Anyway - stay on the forums at least to help us nubs, and please please please keep the forums updated if there ends up being a new game everyone migrates to for multiboxing! I'd love to actually start on a multiboxer friendly server and possible even play with some of you boxing vets in future games!

This is a depressing forum sorry about that.

If your new to WoW then go for it! Don't get at all discouraged by all this. Most of us here have been playing for years and years, and our number 1 complaint is that it's the same old same old.

If your new it will still be a total blast, exiting, challenging, and best of all, it will all be new! (I think this last is why everyone always misses the expansion they started playing in. Always chasing the dragon so to speak)

I havent played my 5 box team in ages and with Cata the way it is, I am not that interested really.

Just started doing heroics on my solo toons and they are stupidly difficult. They have taken the normal encounters and ramped them up by about a factor of 10.

And I was supprised to see that no starter epics dropped from the end bosses in heroics. So you basically have to spend a lot of time grinding mats for the patterns and then more mats to make them and hope that an orb drops from a boss otherwise, you have to find someone who has an orb who has the pattern you want made.

And the prices in the AH on Anachronos-EU are insane.15k gold for an epic item that might cost you 700-1000g to make.

Stacks of obsidian and elementium are 140g+ even stacks of savage leather scraps are starting at 40g/stack

I had a look at Rift and I might be tempted to get it and have a quick play on it just to see what it is like.

I like the new zones in Cata, but everything else is just completely screwed.

World of Warcraft is the top game in the genre.
Not saying there aren't other great games in the genre too.
But until a game with the same style comes around that is better, chances are we (or at least most of us) will be back at some point.

There are so many compositions to try, it is rather easy to get excited about something.
And to want to try it.
Or someone comes along with a new idea and their enthusiasm for it makes you want to try it too.

About the only way anyone will really quit warcraft is if:
a) a better game in the same genre comes out; or
b) they quit computer games entirely, and find another hobby.

I'm not thrilled with the Feral changes.
And at the moment that is the only composition I really want to play.
And battleground pvp is the only boxed aspect of the game that I want to do.
The other being, gold accumulation; granted 29 transmutes is boxing sort of.

In protest to the changes I've canceled.
I cannot really see myself quitting warcraft, as computer games are still fun and there's nothing better in the genre yet.
And I have two months before the subs run out.
Plus the changes might leave the class in a fun to play position.

I'm not "quitting" because something is too hard.
It is rather funny that someone can get that impression from this thread.
The linear nature of the expansion is rather boring, but my PvP composition is fun.
I have no interest in PvE at the moment, so "hard" heroics are not an issue (I've not even been in a Cataclysm dungeon yet and have no plans to run any of them, whether they get nerfed into the ground or have their challenge level increased dramatically).
They're threatening changes to my composition, which as advertised seems to make it pretty much garbage.
No point in paying for linear/boring/repetitive content, with nerfs to the one factor of the expansion that I enjoy.

But the game is in a state of flux.
Things change fairly constantly, even if not always quickly.
So, will have to see what is fun and what is not, and decide based on that.

Since the expansion rolled out I have leveled one team to 85 and have done quite a few normal dungeons, no heroics yet, except for some trash mobs to get a feel for how hard thrash are hitting in heroics.
My current state of mind is to make gold for the next month or so from farming and transmutes. I have a druid which is half way through level 83 without doing any questing and another druid I intend to use to farm when he gets a little higher (currently lvl 63 from boosting him to lvl 61 when I had RAF and now just farming with him).
To me there is no point in banging my head into the brick wall which heroics seem to be. In my opinion the time taken to gear a team to be heroic viable is wasted time due to the same team in 6 months time will roll through the heorics when they have been nerfed and the next tier of gear is released and justice points will be actually worth something (I view the jump in gear from a regular lvl 85 dungeon to Justice point gear too small to be worth farming).

For me by the time I had a team geared enough to do heroics the next major patch will have dropped and all that work would be wasted. Instead I am focusing on farming mats which now levels toons for me as I watch tv and leveling up some lowbie teams.

I am personally looking forward to 4.1 when at that point I am hoping the orbs are no longer soulbound which will make all my current professions useful again without having each toon heroic viable.

Lol I'm quite surprised by this thread. I have been 5 boxing since half way through TBC and quit just over a week ago. I didn't realise so many others were too.

I canceled my accounts as well. Just too much of a long boring grind to get back to fun stuff. Playing lots of Starcraft 2 competitively. It's so nice to just log on, have great fun until I quit playing. Then I log into wow and think "after 5 more hours, I might be able to get a piece of gear, and get a little bit closer to having fun" Some people have fun doing that BG gear grind I know, but I'm not one of them. I just loved to world pvp, and I don't feel like leveling a new team, or grinding BG's for hundreds of hours to have fun again. Going to try Rift though, it looks fun. Until then SC2 for me. WhodatNinja is my name in SC2 if anyone wants to play on there

Exactly. Some of us just don't particularly care for the change in direction with Cataclysm (and to a lesser extent, WotLK). There is a lot of fun stuff to do in WoW depending on your tastes. There have been a lot of nay-sayers at various points about what couldn't be done in WoW as a multiboxer and we've pretty much blown up every one of them.

I'm down to one account from five. I had fun leveling the first guy through Cataclysm content and managed a few others to 85 but I can't bear the thought of bringing a group through another under water level or Uldum.

I also really liked being able to quickly gear and run heroics on my feral tank. Farming the old raids was fun as well but since the nerfs I don't even want to play my druid. The long cool downs and AP reductions just don't make it enjoyable any more.

For now I'm reactivating some EVE accounts and playing my XBOX 360 more.
