Quit while the opportunity presents itself IMO. I quit myself almost exactly one month after Wrath of the Lich King was released (after 4+ years of playing it.) The game is a shell of its former self.. its just not even close to being the same game anymore. Its just too easy and overly rewarding for an MMO. Once I found myself playing out of habit and boredom instead of being genuinly entertained I had to quit. Nostalgia be damned, if the game were as good as it used to be id still be playing it...but its not. Plain and simple.

This man speaks the truth.
WoW is nothing like it was. It used to be epic, legendary questlines with awesome rewards. Stuff was tuff, everything that had a decent rewards required huge amounts of team work. I was a casual in Vanilla, and the difficulty was extreme. The furthest I every got was AQ20, but that just made the world seem that much bigger. If you look at the old raid dungeons, so many quests, it required so much hard work and that work only really brought you more together as a guild.
The whole "we want everyone to see the content" is moronic. The content IS THE DIFFICULTY. The content is working so hard for something.
Seeing the story unfold, movies, music, the epic loots... THEY ARE ONLY REWARDS. They are NOT the content...
So how can you possibly make that statement like that? Somewhere along the line Blizzard lost track... WoW was originally made as an easier version of Everquest, one game that wasn't as extreme as EQ, but Blizzard went too far down that path and instead just dances like monkeys who are being thrown cash by the millions of casuals... Casuals who will get sick of the game because nothing is epic anymore.
Content =|= Rewards. Don't try to poop out easy rewards and try and call it content.
Anyway, MMORPGs are in a sorry state atm because of what has happened to WoW, there really are no hardcore PVE MMORPGs and the only hardcore PVP one has one server in europe.
Either way, if you are a casual that likes games like Peggle and Bejeweled (or Wii [*cough* Sports], dare I say it), then WoW will be perfect for you.
