I am equally a Boxer and a Gamer. WoW does not get it's own catagory, heh. Unfortunatly, the vast majority of MMOs out there all fall under "must have at least this many people to do X, Y, Z" with X-Z being anything past level 40. Being anti-social/painfully shy and living a 3rd shift life does not fit well with that style of gameplay, so multi-boxing is as much a part of gaming to me as wasd movement is to other people. If I can't box it, I can't play it. It may be fun while the new factor is still there, but once you get to the point where you need other people to progress, I want to be my own "other people".

I left WoW {again} because it was no longer a fun game {again}. I only stayed as long as I did because I got into boxing. If I'd gotten into boxing earlier, I probably never would have come back to WoW. Personally, I couldn't tell you who's leaving. I was a foot out the door about 3 months before Wrath even went live. My husband and I didn't like the changes that were being made and saw things coming back to the same point they were at when we left in Vanilla WoW. Raiders on top, PVP right below, small groups and solo way at the bottom. It might have been a slightly different story if raiding in general felt epic, but it doesn't, it feels gimmicky, and at a 10-man level, that is nothing more than a 5-man dungeon with the annoyance level turned up. So I wouldn't be surprised if it's just that boxers see it faster than other players because they, like larger guilds, have easier and more frequent access to what's in game. The "New" factor wears off faster.

I'll play EQ2 until I find something else, just like I played AC until I found something else and WoW until I found something else. I like to play games, I enjoy playing games, I'm rabid about playing games. I just don't get rabid about titles. There was gaming before WoW and there's gaming after WoW. There was even gaming during WoW
