But in the last year I've bought one game. And probably doubled or tripled my gaming time.

Same situation as me, I've saved money by paying this "outrageous fee".
As for whether or not WoW is a good game...
Personally, I almost quit earlier this summer due to raiding burnout. After thinking about why I was quitting and why the game had lost it's flavor, I realised that I had taken it entirely too seriously. I was treating it like a job.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RAID.
I quit my guild in the same manner that a employee who just won the lottery would curse out his boss. I've since discovered great ways to enjoy hours of WoW with very little/no grind time. It's all about what you like to do: I have a 60 priest who's now a shadow specc. When I'm on, I'll chat with friends, pvp (not trying to get gear, but trying to have fun. Gear is a plus), or run instances (again, for fun. If an item I want drops, yay4me). Farming for cash isn't neccessary, because it's easy enough to play the auction house for money. Once I did this, I accumulated 200g relatively easily, then rolled a level 19 twink paladin.
The point is, I now have a high and low character to play on at my leisure. I have no obligations, I can do what I want, and almost every aspect of the game is open to me when I feel like it. Sure, I'm not as rich or well-geared as hardcore raiders, but I'm moderately geared and skilled enough to take them on in a pvp setting. If you enjoy the aspects of the game and don't allow it to become a job, it can be extremely enjoyable. I'm about to start my second year of playing it, and I have no intention of quitting.
