where to now?

Hi everyone,
Ive been playing wow now for 6 years and enjoying it for what it is however a large part of the game for me is looking forward. I like to go after stuff for this latest tier my main goal was to get the weapon from Will of the Emporer
Every week my raid group would run through MSV (we have it on farm) and every week i swear and bitch about rng when my weapon doesn't drop, makes me a bit upset but i know next week ill do it again just for the chance at the upgrade i really want.
I also covet other things used to be pets before the battle system (im not as big on them now theres so many and theres a point to it a mini game, makes my collection seem less rare to me) and of course theres the mounts one of which ive been after for years, having just one chance per week at it kept me coming back.

Heres my problem last night my weapon dropped, not only was i happy but my raid team was as well they have all shared my grief as the weeks went along. I now have it, fully upgraded it and feel like theres little point now. I dont yet have tier gear and my item level is 488 so ive got room to upgrade but im just not as interested in doing it now, for me the tier is nice but im not really craving it, i dont really care if or when i get it.

I ran TK last night after the raid and even though i should be happy as Ashes finally dropped here for me as well im now left feeling empty, i got my bow that i was chasing I've now got the mount i wanted and farmed for years so where do i go what do i do now?

I know it seems silly but i kind of won my way out of wanting to play so much. I'm no longer planning each week around the bow drop (if it doesn't drop i used coins on the LFR weapons) and i no longer have my solo TK run for when im bored im finding for the first time in years theres nothing im coveting in game.

Just wanted to ask if anyone else has ever felt this way ? Have i just got to my limit with the game?
I'm finding without the thing to go for im now just logging so my raid team is not disadvantaged just going through the motions, its not the same when im not caring what drops when im not really fussed even what content is offered

I do know theres the sha touched weapon and my guild will be doing that content within the next two weeks but even that weapon is not as interesting to me i had my eyes on the bow from the start that was my goal. The newer weapon is just an upgrade i guess the bow was my first epic weapon since hitting 90 but its more that the sha touched one drops of the second last boss of the whole tier if my group can get this boss i wont be using the sha touched weapon for anything anyway except farming untill the next tier is out.

Im a little lost wow is such a big part of my life and its not like im upset about any changes or nerfs/buffs however i still feel like maybe its coming to an end for me am i alone in this? has anyone else felt let down after the long grind for the item you wanted was over?

I've had those feelings before, after finishing whole quest zones, hitting exaulted with targeted reps, having a full stable. Sometimes I log in and realise that there is nothing I really want to do...which is probably why I am an Altaholic. Especially since whenever I get a toon to level cap, I start losing interest in them...For me the most fun in playing is the leveling.

But, I am not a hardcore raider, haven't even obtained raid level ilvl yet on my main...for me, I don't like to rush myself, I am very casual. Which tends to leave me with lots still to do, from quests, to other rep, many mount drops to farm, pet battle to win, pets to level, achivements to complete, Ore to grow (on my farm) for my alts JC, and when I don't want to do that...I have toons on an RP server, since I don't RP hardcore either, my toons don't tend to have a definite "character" so I can feel free to be whomever I want to be that night. If not that , then just jumping on a random alt and seeing what I have to do on that one, most often running into places far to tough for me and seeing how far I get before I get stuck in a death loop.

Recently A long time WoW friend has been trying to get me to play horde side, so I made a pandaren monk-healer, and now he's 85 (monk daily+wow anniversary, and now DMF "WHEE" buff have just shot me through the levels pretty fast!) and just entered Pandaria. Very different view of Pandaria through horde eyes. I do have the benefit of having a "sugar daddy" who provides me with any gold-needs I may have on request.

uuuhhh...my point is, try new things, set new goals, and hey, if you feel more inclined to spend more time in the real world, thats great to! Try new things, get those tasks that you've put off done, etc.
