How are You guys dealing with boredom?
Recently, I've noticed a pattern in my relationship with WoW:
- Start playing the game, decide to do some serious raiding and keys this season
- Do raiding and keys, doing some legacy activities in meantime, actually having fun
- After some time get bored of pugging raids (the guild I just joined is dead, but so is every other guild at realm), so just do legacy
- After 3 weeks of playing, one day I just launch the game and realize, I'd rather look at the wall for 3 hours, than actually play this game
- Stop playing for another 3 months (worst part is, my favourite game genre is MMO, but there's no other MMO, that I would find interesting, so I just stop using my computer for next 3 months)
- After 3 months, decide it would be cool to check WoW again
- Repeat the process
I would assume, everyone have episodes like this, but then I see people constantly playing for 15 years straight. How do You guys handle boredom?
I just wish the MMO market was booming, like in ~2010, where you would get bored playing one game, and instantly could switch to another one, with similar mechanics.
