It's worth noting that right now, even though you don't play, you're account still exists as one of the 8 million. When you quit the game, Blizzard keeps your account around, in case you want to start playing again.So the real question is...how many of those 8 million accounts don't play anymore? How many people got fed up with the pointless exercises, the frustrations of grouping with 20 strangers for a shot at one more purple item.... I bet there's a lot. I'm one of them.

@tralalaa,Post that picture, bitch. I still won't believe you. It may not be 'uncool' to play video games, but I couldn't stand to bear the uncoolness that surrounds you and your fake ass life. Lucky me I don't have to."That's like saying, "Screw your tattoos and piercings. I'll see you at the bingo hall!"" - What?Go f**k yourself, and try <a class="user" href="http://www.wowdetox.com.">http://www.wowdetox.com.</a> Better yet, don't. I'd prefer that you rot away slowly like over 8 million other fools....edit: I bet you're about 12 years old. I'm right, aren't I? Even if you do have a girlfriend, those little 'nubs' don't count as goddamn hot.

^^^No, this was referring to how every character model/class are identical. They use the same talent point setup that they read on the WoW forums, so they can BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE (along with every other player).

I've seen the raiding cycle and 3 months in MC is nothing. Since it only resets once a week that's only about 13 trips to MC. It took over 10 months to finally get my last T1 piece from MC (of course, in the meantime, I got every other non set piece drop from MC that I wanted). By your own account you ended up with 1 epic about every 3-4 runs. That's about 10 hours of work for each epic - not really that bad compared to the other options for getting epics. I remember making just over 100 UBRS runs on my rogue (2-3 runs a day for over a month) and I never got my shadowcraft chest piece (my guild teased me about that forever). That's a hell of a lot worse than making 1 MC run a week that takes maybe 3 hours. Heck I spent more hours in UBRS trying to get a single Tier 0 piece than I spent getting my entire Tier 1 set!
