For me it was the boredom factor. It gets repetitive, and running around watering flowers, catching pixel fish and bugs, and being punished if you go on holiday for 2 weeks is just a pain. If you've ever thought about stopping playing/have stopped, say why.
I still play AC:CF, but my Wii is being repaired right now. What irk me from playing is those repetitive daily grinds, mostly watering flowers. Why Nintendo still force us to water our flowers just to be an silly excuse of playing more of AC:CF? :throwingrottenapples: <small><small><small><small>

The game depressed me in all honesty. I worked hard to make my town good, with trees, hybrids, worked on my house, etc and while doing all of this, my town turned into this muddy graveyard which severely lacked grass. It was horrid.
Granted that wasn't the only reason, it's a very repetitive game, but I would have played a lot longer if it wasn't for the grass disappearing. Worst feature they've ever added.
I quit because it was becoming more of a chore than an actual game. As silly as this may seem, It was becoming stressful to get on every day and try to regrow grass, pick weeds, and make bells.
I attempt to play daily. I've managed to keep my grass in fairly good condition over time. The Simulation and Communication genre is one of my favorite genres of video gaming.
