Well, you nailed it right there – that’s the reason why you don’t ‘get it’. WoW is most enjoyable when played together with friends you already know, or friends you make in the game.

Playing as a team in dungeons or in random PvP encounters throughout the world can be very exciting, while grinding your way through the game all alone is both tedious and cumbersome – in the long run at least.

I’ll agree though that the game is not very innovative and that it does become repetitive rather soon. I’ve leveled up my fair share of characters myself, but what I don’t understand is where people muster the interest after hitting max level and then manages to get stuck in some laborious raiding scheme. This really eludes me as WoW’s always lost my attention at that point – but apparently this is where the real addiction lies if the forums of gamerwidow.com are to be believed.

I tried the expansion when that came out too, but it was just more of the same and I grew tired of it quickly. Feels good though, there’s so much more inspiring ways to spend your time.

Anyway, good luck in Azeroth. ;-)
