WORLD OF WARCRAFT IS EVEN MORE SERIOUS BUSINESS NOW.
This guy really loses his shit on his guild. Fucking classic. And this is why I would probably never have time to put in the effort to do any end game raiding at all. It just doesn't seem worth it.

Then I hear stuff like this, that makes me afriad of it, all the time.
WoW is fun until about 30, then it just becomes about the endless grind and raiding the same instance over and over until you complete your new set.
You don't do it because you enjoy it, you do it because the phat lootz are like a drug. It was this realization that made me quit.

Endgame raiding is actually pretty fun.
The trick is remembering that, while it's a time commitment, it's also a game you play on the internet for fun, and shouldn't be taken so seriously.
I go to raids probably once or twice a month. Sometimes it's fun to kick back for an evening with a beer and trash talk people on Vent. You pretty much just need to join a guild that isn't for 'hardcore raiding,' but is large enough to do at least ZG and AQ20. That way, no one is trying to force you to go to any particular event, but you can still participate on nights when you feel like it.

A lot of people seem to find this the case, and I think the problem is playing with pugs or idiot 12 year olds. I've always had a really good group of people whom I actually know and who made running an instance a fun and ridiculous time.
Ultimately, 'loots' aren't really remotely important, and contribute only marginally to the fun of the game. Most of it is playing with people whom you enjoy.

One of my best memories was when my guild (The Bloody Carrots) with our sister guild (The Rapscallions) raiding from Ashenvale, across Darkshore, through Darnassus and spent 2 hours making fun of the night-elves in Teldrassil, not one of us was above 20.
I still get the need to play it every now and then, I'll be at EBs and the thought will cross my mind that it would be so easy to grab one of the game cards and play again, but the knowledge that getting back into it would destroy me keeps me away, that and knowing I'd have to sit through 4 updates through Blizzards shitty updater.

It's not the raiding that's shitty, it's who you raid with that makes or breaks the game.
The expansion is going to be fixing a lot of the problems with the game, making it far more accessible for smaller groups of people to get the end-game lewtz than before. They're also fixing the Honor system, which we get in a patch before the expansion even comes out, which is the biggest thing that I'm looking forward too. No more insane pvp time commitment ftw!

I'm looking forward to the return of five-mans!
Unfortunately, being the only Alliance player on the boards, I won't be able to play with any of you...
I mean, unless anyone wants to run my UD rogue alt through WC at some point.

Kate: WoW isn't hard to learn, or play
Cassul: Don't wait. Start a char now Darrowmere Horde side is where I'm currently playing, new server, low ping, it's nice. I'm pissed they pushed the expansion back though
Others: I agree with The Hitman; find a good group of people to play with, and any game is instantly 10x more enjoyable.

Also, yeah, I can safely say that I don't understand the WoW obsession either. It's fun, but it gets tiresome after a while once all you can do is raid. Like I mentioned, raiding is fun, but I don't think I could take a six hour raid commitment more than maybe once a month.

Believe me, if you're into something and you love it so much, you'll do it.
I'm the same way with Flight Simulator. I sometimes do cross-country flights from Seattle to New York or Seattle to Winnipeg to Boston, but I set the auto-pilot after takeoff and basically just pay attention to the instruments and also (when I had my second computer) surf the net or read.
