I feel you. Lacking a real rig, connection issues, poor ping - all the things that need to be top of the line for your skills to really shine -  is a deal breaker. Burnout is not unheard of with games like these, and you've got all those other issues to contend with, on top of other games you could be playing, other activities that you could be doing...

As a long time MtG player, not being able to play the game at the level I'd like due to monetary constraints and poor location, I finally quit after 7+ years. Tired of keeping up with the latest sets, watching pros from the side lines, and living by proxy, I don't regret the decision. I don't think you will either.
