Did you ever make it to end game with a decent guild?

You can't solo end game WoW, you can't even really group with a friend or two, it requires 25-40 competent people. And that, is where Blizzard focuses: end game content. You don't see them releasing new 5 man dungeons and the like, it's all 25+ man dungeons that they're releasing. And by all means its not mindless. At least with current dungeons, the way bosses are setup, it gets quite complicated. It practically has you jumping through flaming hoops in order to kill them. Like the Shade of Aran fight in Karazhan. You gotta be running around in circles during the fight, or stop depending on what he does. If someone, any ONE person screws up, your team gets wiped.

Mind you, they make the fight look real easy. Best my guild has taken him down, is like 15% or so. But they're European, so they're hardcore like that

And if EVE is like Earth and Beyond, then I'm going to have to pass on that. I like the concept and all, but spending half my time flying from place to place, rather than doing something just isn't for me Then again, I've never made it to end game - if it matters at all.
