My opinion is based on the mere fact that I only enjoy leveling up. Once I hit max level and realize there's nothing to do other than the same 5 hour instances over and over and over just hoping to get some stupid purple item that does another 10dps is where I lose all interest in the game. I guess I'm not a true MMO fan, I enjoy the adventure, seeing new areas, new enemies, getting new weapons/armor along the way, but once it's nothing but item hunting, I'm done with the game.
I tried 3 or 4 of the endgame instances, declared it a joke, and started a new toon.
I can see that. Personally I enjoy the end game because I like taking down new bosses. The loot is secondary to me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy shiny purples as much as the next guy but I get a lot more satisfaction taking down a new boss than I do picking up a new item that, as you say, only adds another 10dps or +10 healing to my stats.
To sum it up, loot is no comparison to the satisfaction of spending time learning how to take down a boss and finally doing it.
Also, I play probably 10-12 hours a week. I get on to raid during the week and have a good timing in rl on the weekends. It is possible to have a life and raid (and this is not directed at you schizoid, just at the general naysayers).
