Just some observations, I felt the need to vent them here:
1. Your aggro range doubles the second you go AFK.
2. AH prices for crafting materials scale - worthless when you're selling them, expensive when you're buying.
3. Anything you can craft becomes worth less than the sum of its materials.
4. If you don't want something to respawn it will do so in approximately one minute. If you do and are waiting for it, it will take twenty minutes.
5. Undead can eat raw human corpses, but wolf meat must be cooked.
6. The subject of an escort quest will always take the longest route home, and past as many mobs as possible.
7. You will only ever win rolls on things you don't want.
8. You will never catch that fish.
9. The guild bank will never contain anything useful.
10. If you accidentally get PvP flagged, several enemy battleground veterans teleport to your position.
15. Y'know that cave you just spent 40 minutes clearing for a quest? Yeah, your next quest is 10 feet from the last one, and all the shit just respawned.
16. If you're on a quest to collect badger hearts, you'll find most badgers don't have hearts. If you're collecting eyes the only things that will have two eyes are spiders.
17. You'll carry around stacks of items because they say 'quest', but you won't get the quest you need them for until after you've sold/destroyed them.
19. You will stop playing for several weeks. You think you'll never go back. You get an email telling you your subscription has automatically renewed and you have paid for a further 3 months game time. You get sucked back in again and do another 3 month renewal after this one is up.
19a. Even if you do remember to cancel your sub, someone you played with will appear on MSN or such, and remind you how much fun you had, and that you should probably play again.
19b. You will forget to cancel your sub. You will remain 'clean' for two years. You will donate your account to a friend with nearly six months playtime on it.
21. Someone will ask if anyone has an alt around level x to help them with a few quests, 7 hours later you have an alt around x+5, and little memory of the last 7 hours.
22. Every 3rd quest is thatfuckingquest which you hate, but have little choice in the matter.
I quit because I had a sudden epiphany that I felt I had long passed the point where it was throwing up enough new things to keep me interested. I realised this once I had finished the various TV series I'd been watching whilst playing, as if I need to have something to watch while playing a game in order to not be bored, then that kind of defeats the purpose of why I play games.

Weirdly, this is why I keep playing wow, I spend a lot of time playing, but I don't actually have to commit to it. lets me watch stuff, read stuff and talk on msn.
24. When questing in an area after killing hundreds of mobs you don't need the follow up quest will insist on sending you back to kill them all again. ffs.
