No, my character is still active in wow, and still guilded with the same raiding guild he has been in for the last 2 years, just not played.
After killing 25 man Kel'Thuzad, and trying a few of the flawed encounters in Ulduar, I realized that I had better things to do with my time. Yeah, and brain surgery also helped to kick that realization in that life is to short. Pixelated simulated fantasy role play armor really doesn't mean that much to me, especially not after you look death in the eye and see who blinks first.
besides, my char was pretty much fully tier 7.5 when I left. There wasn't much loot left for me to get. So your entire theorycraft is moot.
Let me tell you what the issue is, and it really isn't wow. It's pathetic fanbois who 5 months after release have only made 5 levels in their character yet go off on how their game is the greatest, they rule wow, they know so much about it and it's better than every other game, when they absolutely suck at the game play. As an ambassador to Norrath, you do as good a job making WoW look good as George W. Bush did in making America look good to the rest of the world.
Sorry to say it, but your not a very good WoW player, and it shows. I'd rather go listen to a 'Buy Here/Pay Here' used car salesman try to sell me a 1970 chevy nova for low low payments of only $349 a month for 60 months, than listen to a hack rant on about a game he really isn't good at.
