I was so addicted to WoW once, then they started ruining the game step by step. In BC I could have fun even with crap gear and as a noob teenager, WotLK was also still quite nice mostly, when I last played it in MOP it was all about time and grinding, pretty ironic.
But that's aparently what the majority of the playerbase wants, brainless grinding, the open world MMO aspect that made the game great was pretty much gone. It has nothing over any other MMO anymore imho.
I'll never understand what drags people back into it even today
