Eh. Get out while you have the opportunity. Blizzard ain't produced anything worth putting up with their fanbase to play since the 90s. The only reason everyone plays WoW is because everyone plays WoW. It's a vicious cycle, and hopefully this'll do something to break it. There are many, many games out there which are vastly superior entertainment value for your money.

(... Okay, yeah. Warcraft III was worth playing. But that's still filled with intolerable idiots if you attempt to play online.)
