Originally posted by Marty4: 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.

The whole game is repetitive, not just the endgame.
