When I find myself x'ing out of the game in frustration two nights in a row I know it's time. The jump from the Rime dungeons to the Kael instances are just too much for my style of play. I'm not sure it's possible to grind shards any more than I've done already and the old treadmill feeling is back.
I'm going to keep accounts open, will pop in from time to time to beat my head against the Iceshard walls but I won't be around as often.
Ingame email will get my attention if anyone is needing any help with anything.
