    I played WoW for sixteen years. Finally had enough of the subscription grind, the associated FOMO, and the constant resetting of all gear progression with each expansion. Took a year off of MMOs and then picked up GW2.

    BTW, GW2 doesn’t have weekly downtime like WoW does.

      The gear and stat reset in elder scrolls online made me quit that game. I struggled to figure my best set up and then to have it reset was just too much. I did not know WoW did that. I was considering picking it back up but definitely not.

      @what_was_not_said @SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE WoW will always have a special place in my memory but that’s where it stays. I bought the latest expansion and barely put anytime in. I’m not even max level. I don’t have the time committed to it any longer though GW2 gets addictive I at least know I don’t need to grind unless it’s something I want to do… Like legendaries
