Who here STILL plays WoW?

I played from beta till a couple months ago. Was in an early Naxx progression guilds until it broke up, then I played with some friends for awhile. Haven't looked back since I quit a couple months ago. I just don't have the time for it anymore, and I think my best times in the game were the first few weeks of retail (minus all the bugs).
 
40+ hours a week. Been playing for about a year or a little more. My main (NE Druid) has 64 days played, I'd say between all my characters close to triple that, but only 1 60. I will post up a new UI shot soon... still fixing it.
 
I played a little while, only to realize that it was nothing special. Not to mention that many of the aspects of WoW people brag about have been done before in other MMORPGs.
 
I still play after a year but the game is growing mundane for me. pvp is okay if you don't mind the repetitive grinding for honor. pve makes me want to shoot myself due to the fact most players are casuals are just giddy happy that they can step foot in mc. most can't bother to familiarize themselves on the encounters before actually attending a raid, and thusly impeding progression. the server i'm on is already 2 years old, and there's just 1 guild in naxx horde side, and they've only cleared the first few bosses. there's less than a handful doing mc and bwl combined. no one does aq40.

At least this makes me feel a bit better... although Lightning's Blade is practically dead. Top two Alliance guilds stopped raiding, so now the furthest along is... I think 6-7 bosses in Naxx? The top Horde guild has defeated Kel'Thuzad, and there's about 3 guilds between 4-6 bosses in Naxxramas. The problem is... that accounts for maybe 200-400 people at the most? The server probably has around 3000 or so people (very rough guesstimate), so there's quite a lot of people literally not doing much. Now trust me, there's also a reason some of these people aren't doing much, and that's because a lot of people suck... pretty badly.

I know I was watching my brother and listening to him complain about this one ZG PUG run he was on where a couple people from a guild that broke off from a decent PVE guild (not sure on their progression, I'd say at least BWL though) couldn't even defeat Hakkar. He had to tell them what to do, because their tactics were completely inane and they couldn't even lead their people (i.e. no one focused any heals, etc).

For me, I'm starting to burn out again from all the PVP, so I'm tempted to start leveling another character for fun until Burning Crusade comes out.
 
casuals really ruin the end game. im really lookin forward to bc when we can finally dump the 15 dead weights in raid. you know even at lvl70, the same nubs are still going to get owed in bwl thru naxx because anything more than tank and spank will be too much to comprehend.
