Absence of end-game content : the downfall of every MMO.

[KraggyKor]

In most other MMOs it takes more than a few days to a week to level a toon to max level for the first time so you start your end-game experience later on.

Your beloved WOW wasn't one of them, even at launch.

The more you post about WOW the less likely I think it is you actually played it on release or for some time afterwards.
