Taking breaks doesnt work for me.

If the game is no longer giving you the experience you want, why struggle to find reasons to keep playing it?

My personal experience: any game is at its most interesting and challenging when you are new to it and learning how things work. Once you've done that, perhaps you'll find a comfort zone in the content that remains fun or perhaps you'll just end up bored. We aren't all looking for the same thing and game developers aren't prone to taking content risks with their established ongoing games that might alienate too much of the player base.

If the game is no longer engaging you, better to move on to other games rather than think something will suddenly change here to stir your interest back up. I've got a file drawer next to my desk filled with old game CDs that I kept because "maybe I would want to play the game again some day" but it's never happened.

Do what's in your current best interest instead of clinging to the past.
