I mean, I CAN play. I can play quite well. It's just that MMOs want you to be monogamous and this Playa can't be tied down, lol.
I have some incredibly fond memories from WoW and FFXIV. The former mostly in PvP - I was very, very in tune with this. Three primaries and I played them all very well in every role they could perform. My rogue was a Kung Fu master (actually reminds me more of the fighting style from Sherlock Holmes). My warlock would make you dance. My dk couldnt be touched. My friends and family and I that all played together still recant stories every time we get together.
I started as a tank for ffxiv after primarily tanking any PvE stuff in WoW, but I got sick of the anxiety of leading dungeons I hadn't even been in, so I abandoned it for the bard. I have that class down to an extension of me. I spent a decent amount of time making her look hot, too, lol. I get more commendations than I did when I was a tank, lol. Im wearing like 15million gil in that link and it's worth every penny, lol.
I love the game. I just can't play the same game every day. And if I take a day off, I always feel like I'm wasting my dailies. My friends keep playing and get ahead of me, then I feel pressure to catch up, so instead of kicking back and enjoying the game, I'm always grinding something to catch up. That and I have a hard time picking it up if I don't have like 8 solid hours to do something constructive with it.
Just too much time. Ive always had a wandering mind. Playing a video game I don't feel like playing at the moment feels like a chore for me. I'll pick it up for a week or two from time to time, but it gets me the same way eventually every time.
