Almost every mmo has you doing things over and over so thats a silly reason not to play one or the other. WoW does however have have pvp balance issues, some of which stem from pve nerfs. Hardly makes sense right? Gets better. If you want to pvp you have to join a battleground which instances you and X-amount of players, ultimately shutting you off from the rest of the world. There is not world pvp, only ganking. Can't tellyou how many times when i was still playing that I'd see mesages on my realm board about how i killed someone. Um.... you were ganking my level 30 non stop with another level 70 and your mad because i managed to kill you both with my equal level character? and that brings up the next bad thing.. community. Everyone mmo community has a few bad apples but its the thing to be an ass in WoW i think. If you like challenging pve you're in the wrong place. Sure, EVERY mmo really does just come down to hitting a few skills in the right order, tanks tank dps kills it, healers keep you up etc. But imo, once again that is in my opinion, the pve is stupidly easy. A lot of raids dont evem require all classes anymore(more balance issues here). And even though they reduced the raid size (oh, huge oversight blizzard, lets compeltely redo our end game pve ((that we were already sort of okay with)) with the first expansion) you can still go afk and not cause your raid to wipe. Lore has strayed so far from the original warcraft lore with the expansion I'm afraid to see what the story is going to be in Warcraft 4.
After all that there are some people who still enjoy playing this game. The sheer amount of subs should tell you that. But I dont think all of those subs are still liking the game. There simply isnt anything else out there that intrests them so blizzard thinks they must still be it all right or they would leave. vicious cycle situation.
Those who say it's a life sucker/marriage wrecker/responsible for ruining their life/etc are just bad examples of what a complete lack of self control is and need to actually blame and external source for their problems.
WoW only sucks as much life as you let it.
If you're an EU player and end up on Moonglade, drop me a PM on here and will be happy to help you settle in.
CoH/CoV - D-Zol/Kinslayer
Auto Assault - Slayer
WoW, LOTRO, DDO - Kinsul

so if you HAVE to play an mmo then might as well let it be wow.
There won't be better prolly for a good portion of a year.
Go for it.
