I played WoW on my original account from ~1.2 till 2.3. Roughly three years. At 15$ a month it was still only $540 total on the fees, and I'll go with 60$ total for the game and expansion (got the game on ebay like two months after it came out for 20$ while they were still sold out everywhere), so lets say I spent 600$ total on it. I sold that account for 500$ without much hassle. So that left me with 100$ that I spent over a 3 year period of time, on something that I would spend more than 12 hours a day on sometimes, and at
least 40 hours a week on.
You do the math for how much money I was 'spending' an hour playing that game and then come to me and go "its too much money paying 15 a month is stupid!". Expecially for a game that's as well organized and polished as WoW is.
