I started to lose the desire to play hard core after Burning Crusade.

What really killed it was the constant skill point wipes in conjunction with having to relearn how to play my character every 2-3 months.

What killed WoW for you?

I'm still waiting for something to kill WoW for me, but it hasn't happened yet.

It might be SW:ToR as many of my guildies are talking about moving to it. Not sure I'd continue playing WoW if I had nobody left to play with.

The lack of adding new innovative game feature for people to see advancement in their characters once Cata came out. With them deciding to go back to a more hardcore model without introducing something else for players to at end game besides 5 mans/raids and PVP.

WoW could benefit greatly if it had a Skirmish like system in play similar to the one found in LOTRO. I also the biggest mistake for Cata was the removal of the Path of the Titans system. This then made archeology a completely useless secondary profession because the other two at least served the purpose for your character, healing and crafting good buff foods.

There is nothing right now, unless the next expansion brings some serious changes, that will see me return to WoW. I will be playing TOR for a bit and then move onto GW2.

This for the most part. It's gotten better a little bit since 4.0 but not much, although if they can implement the new raid with a casual version the right way then my desire to play will probably increase. Regardless of everything though, as soon as GW2 is released I'm gone.

Cataclysm ended my need to play wow. I just play it now as a diversion until other games come along.
