Yep WoW did the same for me for a long time.
Started in the Beta played till Lich King 3.2
In this time i nearly didn't play anything except the Big AAA Games...And then normally only once
I have to say - I were in a World Top100 Raidguild and we had to raid 5-6 times a week for a long time.
In the time I didn't raid i made PvP(Classic WoW) - In BC i started to get more time for other things because i hated Arena.
On AQ40 and Naxx Classic times we had to raid in the week 5-6 hours(6-7pm till midnight+1 hour sometimes and on the weekend from Midday till open End)
With BC also here we started to get more freetime and we didn't need to farm for Gold/Stuff/Buffcrap and such stuff....You had in a short amount of time more money than you every could spend.
Karazhan/Gruul/Mag were on farm in a short time...SSC/TK took a little bit but didn't take that much time also...HM/BT same...It started with Sunwell again....Hardcoreraiding because we wanted to clear this perfect Raiddungeon before the Casualnerf - We started again with our old raidtimes.
Wrath of the Casual LichKing was the end from everything....
You absolutely didn't need to farm anything....We rushed trough the Content with 2-3(for Ulduar Hardmodes 3) Raiddays and yeah...This Arena stuff with Anub was the last thing i have seen - This crap was clear in I dont know how many minutes after our realms worked.
ICC what i have seen is absolutely the same easy crap again - Except Arthas10/25 Hardmode
You say do it with alts?Why should I?
I want damn bosses where i have to try it 500 times and hope for the lucky try to pass them.I want to play at the maximum with 100% and not rushing trough a complete Addon for > ONE < Boss in a Hardmode to get that what i want
Not interested in this crap anymore.Im happy that i have so much time to play now the console stuff that i missed and is coming out.
I mean,thanks to Activision that they told Blizzard to ruin the game or otherwise i probably wouldn't have played Uncharted 2 and such stuff Oo
I HOPE Final Fantasy 14 goes in a way i can live with or otherwise MMORPG's are dead for me.
I dont have anything against casuals and idiots but if they have to play this game too they should get what they deserve....Crap Items and nothing else like it was in World of Warcraft Classic =)
Only negative thing on this is > Console games are so expensive.
I had so much money when i played WoW because i didn't pay for other stuff :<
