I think this is highly indicitive of an average school-aged gamer. Not that I'm knocking you, just noting the glaring difference.

In school, money is at a premium but time is easy come easy go. After school, this gets reversed (generally).

All the people telling me "gold is easy to come by" are probably %100 correct.....relatively speaking. But I simply cannot "afford" to spend the time it takes to do it. Nor, by the way, do I want to.

You cannot afford to spend the money.
I cannot afford to spend the time.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that if I truly had to spend this time to farm gold in order to continue playing WoW, I'd probably have quit by now.

Realistically, I imagine my guild would help me out with repairs before seeing me quit, but for arguments sake, let's assume they wouldn't: Yes, I would have quit the game because I would be unable to repair my gear, hence, unable to raid, hence, unable to have fun. My view of the game is identical to Weritech's except I prefer PvE and avoid PvP like the plague, but our RL situations are probably comparable.
