I was player-killed 3 times in the period of about 20 min. I wandered around aimlessly grinding for "kill 20 of these guys". I watched my system "really scream" at an average of 12 FPS (Outland runs especially slow for some reason) and the only fun I managed to have was shooting the shit while talking with guildies on Ventrilo.
I was talking with someone last week at work about how WoW can be multiplayer but I'd hazard a guess that for at least 50-70 percent of the time the game is comprised of just running solo (questing, killing mobs, doing the auction-house, etc...).
All bitching aside, WoW is a good game. It is fun (grinding and all) but sometimes it just really wears on me. I did play some counter-strike last week. I'm definitely a bit rusty but I've still got the basic skills. My first round back I was 12-6. Granted, there were lots of nubs in that server, but 2:1 isn't a bad ratio :)
Alright. The work week has begun. It's time for me to be productive again and leave WoW behind. Don't miss me too much WoW, I'll see you next weekend....unless Mrs. Counter-Strike follows through with her offer to show me a good time.
In case you haven't been to vgcats - this is an awesome comic.
