How do y'all do it?

32 yo professional here. I played an hour or two a night when the game came out for a couple of weeks, with 5-7 hours on the weekends. I had 50 within a couple weeks, 2 trade skill 50s and 2 adventure 50s within a month or so. Even my slowest friend has hit 50.

We all agree post 50 is just boring tome grinding. We all "beat the game" (story), got our relics +1 and pretty much dropped playing. We will decide whether to cancel or not for now when we see the patch. (We are thinking we will cancel and try again in 6 months to a year when there is more content).

I am so surprised by the "casuals" that play 3-5 hours a night. I don't get home from work until 6-6:30..that is the days I am not doing consulting work on the side...I am done with making, eating, and cleaning dinner by 8. 3 Hours would be staying up until 11:00 at the earliest...5 hours would be 1 a.m.

If I have any work to do at night, I barely have time to do that before I have to get ready for bed to be asleep by 10:30 or 11.

How late are you folks staying up? Usually, if I have any spare time during the week, I spend it on one of my sewing projects, but even then an hour or hour and a half is precious to find on a weeknight.
