I agree with Klepsacovic. People forget the main goal of playing sometimes- fun. Most of the time I tell my friends if I am burnt out and need a break. There have been a few games I just sort of stopped logging into as much and my account expired, not leaving a chance to say anything to friends. That always made me feel bad heh.

I’ve just walked away before, and for me, it was a combination of being sick of certain people and not wanting to make an issue of it, and actually being physically sick and not wanting to share that information. I did feel like there were people who deserved an explanation, but that overall it would be easier (and not just for me, for everyone) for me to just disappear.

“I’ve burnt out” seems like a valid reason to me. If a game isn’t fun, why play it? While there is some argument for social obligation, the fact is that we are mostly our characters, and those are very replaceable, making any disappearance a mere setback.
