When did you quit? What made you quit? Any plans on going back? Would you say you were addicted? What games have you enjoyed since?

So to answer my own questions...

Played from original 2004 release until about 3 months into Cata, where I recognized that PvP balance and dynamics had gone to shit. Came back for 1 month in the middle of MoP, only because my friends were begging me. Haven't played since.

I quit because the game got worse, especially for PvPers. Larger health pools and lower relative damage created a PvP environment with a much slower pace that gave too much room for bad player to correct their mistakes in longer matches. The game in general just got way too casual and poorly balanced. The lore became convoluted after WotLK too. Features like raid finder turned an MMO where players were reliant on in-game relationships, into an impersonal MMO where player interaction was inconsequential. The whole point of the game being an MMO was virtually eliminated. Might as well play with robots.

I will never play WoW again. No interest. Spent far too much of my life on the game already, and I realized a few years after quitting that I wasn't even having fun, but was simply addicted.

Since WoW I've enjoyed Elite Dangerous, Terraria, Stardew Valley, Factorio, Street Fighter 5, Cities Skylines, Civilization 5, Outlast, The Division, Starbound, Stellaris, PUBG, and several other games.
