What to do in Azeroth Legacy when you get bored of just leveling and farming gear

Why do so many people get tired of the gear cycle?

Because it always does the same thing:

• level up
• farm
• repeat
• compare
• get tired

When the game becomes just an obligation, even progress starts to seem empty.

Alternative activities besides gear and leveling

You can change the focus by:

• achievements
• professions
• Light PvP
• collection
• events
• social content
• personal class or character goals

These pauses do not interfere with the game. They help keep the game alive.

---

Social content, collection and personal challenges

Some very good routes to get out of automatic:

• play with guild or friends
• seek fun goal, not just efficient
• mount functional alt
• review UI and setup
• learn new content instead of repeating the same thing over and over again

How to change routine to regain motivation

A good rule of thumb is:

1. Keep a little progress
2. change the focus of the rest of the session
3. alternate between obligation and fun

You don't have to drop everything. You just need to stop playing the same way over and over again.

Short-term goals to get back into the swing of things

• complete an achievement
• improve a part of the UI
• test another spec
• do BG without pressure
• complete a simple goal that was stopped

Minimum recommendation

When you get bored of just leveling and farming gear:

1. change the type of objective
2. Vary your session format
3. Keep a little progress, but without stiffness
4. use the server beyond the most obvious endgame

Many people don't need to stop playing. You just need to stop playing the same game all the time.
