I loved WoW and especially WOTLK for a while.
The highlight of the game for me was when I was in a semi underdog but at times decent raiding guild where I was the raid leader and main tank and we 1 shotted Mimmiron 25 on our first guild attempt. Altho many of us had experience with him on 10 man. But that was a great moment for me as a raid leader.
I also had memories of killing Yogg Saron on 10 man, that was a seriously intense boss fight. These were the high points for me.
I started to dislike WoW after they released the Trial of the Crusader series of raids. First of all you had 10 and 25 man mode, second of all you had 10 heroic and 25 heroic mode, then they released Onyxia, and that stupid Trial of the Champion 5 man dungeon had trinkets that everyone got super greedy over, kinda bottle necked loot a little more than WoW usually does.
Between Trial of the Crusader 10/25 10h/25h, Onnyxia 10/25 (was there a heroic?), and the endless heroic farming, and those wintergrasp bosses, not to mention dailies to cover the repair bills, wow became a part time job. If you wanted to keep up with the Joneses, your guild, other guilds, you had to play a LOT, too many raids to keep up with in a given week, plus dailies, I was tired of the rat race.
I loved WOW but I started to dislike it as I left it, now I've contemplated playing some WoW free shards, but I realize I would end up in the same spot where I just don't like the game anymore. I loved raiding, but I think they over did the variations on a single instance.
