In fact what made me quit was the last day I was logged in: I tried for 6 hours to get a group and never did.

You can't solo in the game, the community sucks (mostly asians), the economy sucked balls, the interface was horrible, the graphics were mostly lame (highly pixalated even on PC), the controls were awful, I think the real reason why everyone has played it for so long is the name Final Fantasy.
Interesting job system.
Interesting combat mechanics.
Group based play which WoW currently lacks and exp in EQ2 was boring to me.
Endgame is better now than it was at release, though I haven't seen any of the new stuff yet. But it's not all a massive grief fest.
I've run into more English speaking players now than I did at release, obviously.
Controls are not that great, but I can live with them.
Who care about soloing? I do enough of that in WoW.
Economy is better than it used to be.
Interface is kinda lame cause you can't customize it, but windower helps a lot.
Pixelation is better when you use registry edits or other tools to increase the texture resolution.

Different strokes for different folks. WoW is boring to me right now, since everything has been on farm since July. I can log onto FFXI with some other friends and we exp and it's enjoyable.
