For those who are thinking about taking a break
Just a quick note on my recent experience. I was in a competitive gold 1 platinum 3 alliance for the first 3 seasons of AW and ran AQ 5x5 all the time. Had minimum donations and event scores as well. Also, grinded at least 2 arenas to get the milestones and ranked rewards. Ive done the easy LoL path and 100% act 5. I also have a handful of 4/55 champs and one 5/65 so the progression is essentially non existent now because of the lack of t2a without grinding away in an alliance.
Got to be so much of a chore to play and felt like a job so I left the alliance, quit playing arena entirely and only logged on to use my energy on an EQ path. I never bought energy refills and purely played to slowly complete the months event quests.
Let me tell you, it has been so lovely to not worry about alliance duties and not be stuck on the game for an hour at a time. I might get on the game 1-3 times a day for 10 minutes or so (just enough to run an EQ path). By just logging on that little still leaes enough time to 100% the EQ on multiple difficulties as well.
If you are thinking of laying low on the game for a while because its so much of a chore, I highly recommend it. Its been a great change of pace and you dont fully realize how much time is dedicated to this game (a phone game i might add) until you stop playing for a bit.
