That's good. Personally my playtime has pretty much stayed constant throughout the years. But a lot of people (not me) play a lot more casually now. In addition to just having more life responsibilities, there are a wealth of competing MMOs and other game alternatives that simply weren't around 5-6 years ago. If you can maintain that play style then bully for you, but do you not agree that as a whole the player base has gotten less hardcore and devotes fewer hours per week than during the game's level 75 cap hey day?
