WoW corners too much of the market. It's not that bad of a game, but it isn't amazing either. Vanguard is a far superior game.
Hahahaha, I laughed in real life at that one. God. Good one.
Anyway, yeah, WoW is a very fun game. I've played it for a few years off and on, it's not as addicting and life consuming as everyone says, it's really not.
I have raided in many types of environments, casual, semi-hardcoe and hardcoe, and never have I been consumed by the game. That is unless you spend 3 hours 4 nights a week consumed because it's summer and you have nothing else to do. It's really not that big of a time sink. Maybe if your guild is bad and can't clear content sure you'll be in there for longer but..the last hardcoe guild I was in that cleared Ulduar hard modes weekly cleared the entire place in 3 nights 3 hours each. Not that bad TBH.
