Asking myself that now, I can honestly say I haven't "enjoyed" WoW since Wraith of the Lich King. I'd log in, do my dailies, do my LFR for the week, do my garrison crap, and then switch toons and repeat. After all of that, I was actually at a loss on what to do. The only reason I still played was because I've been doing it for years, and it was basically just a daily routine. The game, for me, died a long time ago, and I'm actually happy I got banned. All of that time monitoring my bot to make sure it didn't herp derp, and the money I was investing on multiple accounts just because. Anyone else have a similar feeling?
Did anyone actually enjoy playing WoW anymore?

I'm kinda of glad I got banned. Ever since I got my account back from the prior 6month ban. All I've been doing is garrison dailies on 10 different toons and LFR on one toon and this pretty much took like 5 hours of playtime to complete. It has become a dumb as hell daily grind for as long as I can remember.
Wow was a one of a kind but now, even games like FFXIV is beating them in subs. W/E

I'm glad I got banned. On to different things. Never coming back(still got an unbanned account and will BOT the SHIT out of it until, either i get banned or the monthly ends lol) WoW has lost it's flair. If and when it dies, I will be lining up to dance on it's grave.

I was in the same boat. WotLK was awesome. I had already canceled my subscription was ending January 1st. They really killed the culture that use to be there. Garrisons were way over done. I would have liked the castle but putting almost everything that's in a city in your garrison. Lame for a MMO. There was no socializing unless you were a troll in trade chat. Cross realm groups, everyone became faceless and everyone seemed like npc. I don't know just my opinion. I do miss the WotLK days I REALLY had fun. Maybe I just out grew it, 46 now ...lol

its all about grind grind grind any more to achive something decent. hence the main reason i got into botting. did not enjoy killing the same thing over and over for hours or to do the same quest over and over again. checking up on my char while botting to make sure im not stuck or banned would drain me of energy and give me head aches. honestly since i was banned for 6 months i found so much to do to keep me busy. with a baby on the way and a new house to get settled into i have much bigger priorities at the moment. but i do occasionally sit down and play some other fps shooters on the xbox one while getting hammered seems to be enjoyable then wow now. i will miss wow though and it will always be in the back of my head of the good old days in the LK expansion. i just cant sit down and get into it anymore like i used to ..... bought a sub for my account that recently was unbanned. got on for 5 mins and was like why did i just spend the money on this nothing has changed XD

Well said sir. Just wish other game devs would up their game so we had options. Some of the MMOs out are just... well... real bad, and they should feel bad lol.
I botted 5 years without getting banned.
I have 30x100lvls, all profs, 23k achievements, sick amount of stuff collected.
Funny part is I was playing other games like diablo3 while botting. Basically last 2 month I haven't bothered to play at all wow and just kept sub running to farm more new shit they made.
LFR with idiots and BGs against premades was not fun. And I'm too casual to play seriously in raiding guild.
It's only 20 euros to buy new account and I would have all my achievements/collections but I'm just meh. I'm going quit wow and might return after 6 month ban.
Going start new season in diablo3.

Damn dude.. 30 lvl 100s? Yeah... come up for some fresh air... take a breather so to speak lol.
I got them 10x85lvls in 1 week using 4 toons to help me bot in dungeon with 300x experience. Then with 4 toons I granted lvls. So I needed to lvl first to 85->70->64->52->40->26 = 10x85lvls. And those 10 toons I botted to 100. Wasn't much invested.
I did that because pve/pvp in game was boring and focused collecting stuff, but that was boring too so I played other games meanwhile like diablo3 hardcore mode. I could just get free 90 with 20 euros but I don't think I will even return to legion.
This game is only fun if you can invest time in guild for raiding to get challange. Random timewalking/bgs/lfr is not fun.

With this ban (I knew it was gonna happen, sooner or later) I took my time to thing about 2 things. One of them of common knowledge, and the other is just personal stuff.
The 1st thing is... The cartoonish style, the colorful (but not "too" colorful) drawings, the dynamic and funny way the things look like, move, and behave, all that is the addictive stuff of WoW. Take apart that all, and the game is nothing more than a grinding game. Grind all the way. There is little to nothing creativity at that, and the only good thing you get from the game (apart from the questionable "fun" from the addictive stuff) is the ability to create macros that are prepared for every situation you may face in the game; so you must think before about what you can encounter so you can design your macros well.
...Or... just bot, and kill an already dying game.
I actually personally played through the "new" quest chains (like the pirate invasion in Booty Bay) or things like that, and I can say they are somewhat insteresting as lore, but its the same repetitive thing: just kill mobs or collect stuff.
The 2nd thing is... I enjoy games where real "rpg" (or something like that) happens. Its funny that a character has one chillion of strenght, and he/she/it cannot open a door or move a table. Limited to grind stuff,... Well, even the old Galaga game had more than that.
So games like MC (played in MP, and for me with some technic pack at least) or Planet Explorers (if ever that game is completed...), or the idea behind Wurm, are the real challenges for me. For sure not tons of flashing lights in the screen, yeah, but games where even the littlest leave falling from a tree has some kind of impact. Of course, none of those games have a stable server, or if it does, then the game is not really engaging and challenging after a while.
I have tried other things out there, like Infestation, Rust, Ultima, Argentum (yeah... shame on me), Diablo,... Even things like eRepublik, Ogame (the old times will never be back again
*sniff*), Popomundo.
All of them have virtues and flaws. None of them is, for me at least, really filling. Because... I cannot get the complexity of logic circuit designs from MC, the feeling of being hunted from Infestation, the social npc and player society complexity of Popomundo and eRepublik, the dinamism of Diablo, the ability to finely shape the surroundings (and affect the wildlife) from Wurm, and the epicness feeling of Ultima, all in one.
Idk what to do, idk what to play. Something that does not eat my life, nor is infected by microtransactions, nor becomes dependant on me, and that has an own server.
...
Im still... idk... I feel myself strange, and somewhat sad.
Maybe I should just forgot all this and put my hands on some private WoW server, or even Runes of Magic...

i have always enjoyed the game. I started botting years ago when i realized the players that were beating me in raids were bots. i figured, if i couldnt beat them.....
honestly, i might actually start enjoying it again if they were able to get rid of all bots and i could play by hand and be competitive again

33 lvl 100 toons banned, and my only thought was. Ok, lets do something else.
WoW hasn't been fun since MoP came out, just been an endless grind, Timeless Isles in MoP and Garrison in WoD. On to better things!
I MIGHT check out the next expansion... but as I feel now... No way, it will just be more grinding.

I stopped enjoying the game a long time ago, HB was the sole reason I subscribed lol.
***
I had returned to WoW in November, from the 6 month ban back in March, and didn't enjoy the game -at all -playing by hand. I had raised a new Bnet account in March (which I then botted on), which by the way is not banned and may return to that if I get withdrawal symptoms.
I don't blame the game (or the developers) it's simply life has changed and I can't commit the time to playing the game honestly anymore (or evermore). I am salty that Blizz handed out an 18 month suspension this time, but yeah I think that is a permanent retirement and a sign that Blizz are going to be unrelenting on accounts that have been banned in the past.
But yeah, time to move on again... and this time I'll know for sure there is no more botting in WoW

lol all i was doing was felblight farming, savage blood farming, spirit farming. Garrison and shipyard, repeat, repeat. This expansion was awful and for me it was always about just getting gold... or really i have no idea lol!! Thank you for the ban, i wont ever use Honorbuddy again.
