How many hours/days/weeks/months/years did you give up for WoW? What could you have done with your life if you had spent that time doing something productive? Was it worth it?
For me - I regret not using that time to learn how to draw.

I wish I learned how to play guitar or something. But WoW is just entertainment…pretty good entertainment.
It’s not really done… yet.

Too many.
And it wasn’t even the boredom of expansion, or the scandal, but just utter disappointment with only thing I was looking forward to, Elune relevation.
Not sure if I’ll be giving all my gold to a friend, or just deleting the game and bnet for time being. No idea what future holds, but it doesn’t bode well.
I don’t agree that it’s “done” but that being said, it’s a game, they’re designed to waste time. I actually think my overall math skills improved playing wow since I was a kid because of the auction house, and my reading comprehension because I read every single quest and early wow you HAD to do that or else you literally could not do certain quests lol.
Now the reading part is pretty much unnecessary. You accept quest and follow the glowy spaces.

You can still learn to draw! Never give up

i hope WoW isn’t done, that they can salvage both the company and the game.
But!
Assuming that this is the catalyst for WoW and the company dissolving away, i would say for me personally, yes it was very much worth the ride.

- I gave up 0 hours…
And I got a huge return in entertainment value for a low monthly sub.
If I wouldn’t have been playing WoW I would have been playing other games, so I’m not going to pretend I would have done something productive instead
So if nothing else, WoW saved me a ton of money by keeping me entertained for years instead of buying a few games a month.

I wish I’d spent more time practicing my “quick draw”.

I don’t regret my ~500 days in WoW. If it wasn’t Azeroth, I would have spent that time in other books or movies. Wow was a really solid way to entertain myself. I had fun and listened to hundreds of audiobooks while playing.

accepting your premise just for the sake of discussion… the time i’ve spent playing wow is time i wouldn’t have been doing anything productive anyway, so i’m fine with it.
Maybe if you didn’t spend so much time generating hyperbole you would be an artist by now…
Go color.

I’ve actually been playing early expansion content lately so no great loss for me.
If you enjoy(ed) your time in Azeroth, then it shouldn’t be considered wasted!

It’s not done. It’s struggling for sure but it’s not done.
Eh, yeah. That being said, I have dragged out my dedication far past the time at which it was last warranted, so I might be breaking even on this one.
But I never let it interfere academically or, later, professionally, so I don’t see it as a negative at all. I would have just been watching TV otherwise. I think it a blessing that I entirely missed out on reality TV.
It’s not done in the sense that Ultima Online is not done either. Both husks of their former selves, unrecognizable to those that only remember them in their prime.

I had fun… That is really all that matters.
Though, I suspect there is still some life in the game.
WoW isn’t done.
