This sounds kinda like a thread to downplay WoW.
I can't remember but it was probably clear back in Vanilla/TBC.
I was new, and so I was really interested in trying every class, and leveling, etc.
Over the years, I'm just so used to these things now, they're more expectations than the whole "fresh experience."
But I also really enjoyed playing alot more before my friends quit playing.
Nowadays I just don't want to play WoW for long, long stretches.
ATM it's partially because LGN's gameplay for many classes is straight up unfun.
But another major contributor to my decreased time and decreased anticipation is that WoW was my ONLY game for a very long time, and now I have lots of games on STEAM I want to play, and other games outside of STEAM that eat into my time. -- In the end, I still really enjoy playing WoW but I don't do it for long, long periods anymore because I'm always thinking: "I want to play this for a bit, and then go play this game for a bit -- and I wanna get in some time with this later tonight, too."
So my time is just more divided and I'm interested in MORE than playing just WoW these days.
