I'm not an endgame player at all - I don't raid  (haven't ever) and I have never TRed.  I have 5 toons between levels 20 and 25 and another 12 between level 8 and 20.  Not a huge stable, by any means.  I mostly play with my husband and sometimes with another friend or two in a small guild.  Very occasionally I PUG.

When the new expansion hit my husband and I had countless rows (how sad is that - it's only a game!) about Turbine destroying all my toons.  You see - he really likes building things and had a great time with his 30-ish alts, respeccing their enhancements  and 'making them all much better than they were' - apart from the three he had to delete because they couldn't be fixed.

I on the other hand, could not face the rebuilding, the trying to get them back to where they were (or close to it), the trying to make them better.  My toons have all evolved with no particular plan in mind just taking enhancements when they levelled. I really did not want to have to spend hours trying to understand 'this new thing' (which of course is 'baaaad, mkay') and trying to fix my toons from scratch.  It was enough to stop me playing.  Everytime I logged in and looked at one toon, I would log off and go do something else.

This did not please 'im indoors.  In the end, so that I would start playing again, he fixed them all for me.  They aren't the same and I really don't feel the same about them (I guess because they are not all mine anymore).  I liked how they were before.

In time I might get used to them and like them again, but right now...I don't know.
