    I started playing my spriest at the end of wrath.
    It was my First lvl 80 back then, the First and only One I've been raiding with in wrath.
    When we came to cata, i lvled the priest First and did raiding with it. At some Time, i also lvled a prot pally. Tried raiding with it too, but didn't work out well.
    Later on in cata (been raiding all exp with that shadow) in DS i started raiding with my newly lvled Hunter. I was playing with a f&f guild, where we had some really, really Bad peeps, but with my help, they managed 5/8hc in DS, since I've been knowing what to Do for months already. It was really fun to play the Hunter, but as i was still weaker than my shadow, i stopped raiding with the Hunter.
    Also in DS Content, before MoP came out, i was 2 pieces and the legendary staff away from Full BiS gear, what Made me really feel awesome.

    Then harder times were coming... In MoP, my raid group got disbanded, and i had little Chance to get into the 5.0 raids until 2 weeks before 5.2. Yep, i got carried for some gear to be able to Do ToT. Since i could Not raid, i lvled a Monk to 90. I was about to Main it, but it was broken, and i suck at playing a melee dps. So i sticked to my shadow, that I've been now playing for 3 years already.
    In ToT, my raid group, really, really sucked, we couldn't even get past horridon on normal mode! I then looked for a new group, found One after gathering an ilvl of over 500. When the raidlead left us over night, our Main tank took over the lead and we kept on raiding as a group. Since i was Not satisfied (i guess i spelled that wrong) with our progress, i switched to a new guild after clearing SoO normal, since we could Not get immerseus HC down.
    Even tho my new guild struggled with a guild Fusion, which Fell apart after 3 months and thus losing 3 months of progression, we managed. To clear SoO HC eventually.
    I still love playing my Monk tank tho in normal mode, even tho i'm pugging with it.

    Wall of Text =P. In short, i sticked to my shadow priest because i had a lot of ups and downs with it, because it was my First Max lvl char in 3 expansions and because i like the gameplay of a mind-threatening freak xD

    i think this is probably pretty accurate of most people. They just set those "BIG" goals. Like finish the tier of content, or achieve a PvP rank etc.

    I have many alts and my main has changed for multiple times. I mostly think my main is the one that does raiding/pvp more seriously while my alts are those who just do random stuff even though they might have more rare stuff and reputation etc.

    I don't have one really. I play all of my toons equally for the most part. the one toon I would call my main would simply be my first toon but again I don't play him more than any other. classes / specs are too prone to change and after some big ones like feral at the end of BC I vowed to never get hung up on a single one again.

    I enjoy playing it. That's all there is to it. That's why I've changed main multiple times, because I found something I enjoyed more than my old main(usually because of changes to the old main that I didn't agree with/enjoy)
    I always play quite a few alts as well, though, so it's not like I focus all my time on the one class I enjoy the most, I also play others that are also fun. Recently I've started having multiple of each class, not all of which are 90 yet. Hell, I have 6 monks(current main class), 2(soon 3) of which are 90(the others are 85).

    Warrior because...well it's a warrior. I always prefer raw physical power and combat, without spells, stealth etc... Also in wow warrior are cool (at least used to be #wodwarrchanges...), got charge and heroic leap. Not to mention most of best sets and weapons are for warriors to use.

    I used to switch main every few months, now ive sticked with monk entire expac.

    What decides my main?
    -fun: fun is for me being mobile and have cool/fun abilities (portal, fof, flying serpent kick)
    -versatile: decent in every aspect and self sustainable. Able to solo, pve, all kinds of pvp and tri spec to complement each situation
    -survivable: Monk has great survivability. When I play my alts I miss monk healing so much
    -buttonsmashing
    -escapability: I hate dying, I'd rather run away

    So basically monk has everything I want in a class. So yeah, it's my main

    I have 500 boardgames on my attic.

    Some months ago I opened Magic Realm from Avalon Hill I played in 1980 ...

    From all characters, I found written notes from my main avatar: the White Knight...

    26 years later I choose my Paladin in WoW. So without realising it, I already choose my main in 1980 ...

    I also like playing a Rogue as second main, but that was only after playing WoW. Since then in any new fantasy game I take the Rogue as an alternative to a Paladin.

    And yes I hate playing an animal with a tail etc... so for me it is mostly only pure humans.

    I hate priests, mages, druids, shamans, death knights, ... and you can only play 2 or 3 classes decently anyway.

    Same. Paladin is what I played during D&D (pencil/paper/dice game) sessions. The class has inspired me since 4ever.

    I tried to change in Vanilla though for a while. I was so fed up with Paladins unable to do any dps or being able to grind anything properly vs other classes. So I rolled a warrior. This worked pretty well but the warrior never became my main. I continued playing my paladin during raids and played my warrior during offtime. Later on we got dualspec, which finished my taste for my warrior Still like him but nothing can keep me away from my paladin now.

    It comes down to the fact its the most comfortable for me to play, I can do things on my priest with ease when I struggle on other classes - plus my /played time and reputations has a big factor in it.

    I switch mains pretty much every expansion. Boredom really. I do have a love for my druid, my first toon but I have no problem shelving it for a good while to play something else I am enjoying more.
