Still waiting for WoW to do something interesting. I can only do so much laundry.

Well, when I come down to vacuum I'll bring my laundry.

I think its a bit early for Swotor to be having an effect, maybe Rift though.

I'm fairly certain rift is declining as well.

I thought it was casual already :P

Exactly lol.

Leveling new characters requires about 5% brainactivity. The only thing that would make it more casual that would be nice, would be a quicker way to gear new toons. PVE and PVP at 85 is pretty ok I think. I don't raid though.

A lot of us have played since 2004 - 2005 and after six years shit gets old. I know I haven't played since January after having five subs active for most of WotLK. Cataclysm just didn't motivate me the way that Wrath did.

I am in exactly the same boat. Been playing for a long time. Starting boxing in BC then quit this past January. I never bought Cata though, I saw what a load of crap it was and stayed away.

WOW always has people leave and come back. Really it's a mere pinprick in an elephant... Then they'll have Blizzcon and start the hype machine for the next expansion.

I do think many have become bored of WOW and are just out there trying new things. That's what I've been doing. Rift is a good game that I am still subbed to but it really is WOW's wannabe brother with nicer graphics and a few gimmicks. So people looking for something refreshing usually leave fairly quickly because it's the same grinds as WOW only MORE grindy.

SWTOR will be huge and no telling what will happen with it. But it isn't out and people don't quit games for games that aren't even out yet. Got my preorder in!
