Yeah, most MMORPGs or MMO for any matter are made purely for addictive purposes in order to get more money for the people who made it. It doesn't actually have to be fun to be addictive.
Unfortunatly, as I said previously in the thread, there are MILLIONS of people who can't tell the extremes on games, therefore they can't really tell what's good, so they play bad games and even though they may feel it becomes repetitious they can't look at smaller details that will totally turn them off for good reason.

WoW is mediocre, the game doesn't have a purpose, it doesn't have a real community, and for one thing, the things you actually do aren't fun, the only reason people play is because of digital materialism, so they can get their imaginary objects that will make their character more powerful or gain a level, really, MMORPGs rely on developers giving enough of a satisfying feeling when you do these things, the actual process of getting them is not fun at all, and the majority of your time will be spent doing the things that aren't fun.

It's like drugs, you struggle to get that short high and then when you realize that you got you wanted you want to get something else, you'll start going for that.

It's tedious, anyone who actually looks back at the game and analyzes will realize that there's truly no entertainment value in it.
The same thing happened with Diablo 2, I really enjoyed the singleplayer AND the multiplayer back when the game was just released, but when I installed it again in 2005 five years after I had last played it, when online, played for a few hours, then I sat back and LOOKED at the game, and realized it was not the same experience that it used to be, it was ruined.

You may use the cliche that I'm saying "I can't see the forest, because there's a bunch of trees in the way" but IT IS APPLICABLE in certain situations, why would I waste my time on something that after hundreds of hours I'd look back and say "That actually wasn't fun at all" I'd rather spend 100 hours on something genuinely fun like Fallout than spend 100 hours running after useless and in the end entirely meaningless things in WoW.
