World of Warcraft: Is Raiding still fun?

What motivates World of Warcraft players to go on raids? To see additional content, get some really cool loot, and maybe bragging rights too. But how is Raiding in the WoW nowadays, with all the bugs and the bosses and instances that need fine tuning?

Tobold expressed his boredom – or at least, waning interest – over raids. He can’t seem to put his finger on what exactly bothers him but he counted off the probable causes. Are 40-man raids “more fun” than smaller raids? Has the loot become uninteresting (or inadequate reward for the effort)? And are the raids not casual-gamer friendly? Hmm, let’s hope we don’t have to live in a basement and play for days on end just to have a go at Illidan.

Come to think about it, what would you do if you quit raiding? Fish? Or mine, maybe. Maybe it’s just burnout, or Blizzard needs to add the fun back into the raids. Endgame in the World of Warcraft would be very, very different without it.
