70 Draenei Shaman here.

I raided with a hunter before TBC came out, but always wanted to play a shaman (just couldn't take playing horde)

Heh, the wronged woman was actually a designer for the game. Now, that's irony!

I have picked up a new rule of thumb for MMORPGs: If a veteran MMORPG player says "there is very little grind in this game", than there is probably too much.

As described earlier, I tend to prefer more hybridish classes or classes with unusual game mechanics, but will start a character of all classes, sometimes two characters of a class. (Which is why a fast leveling speed is some important, as my main enjoyment comes from planning out and trying out a bunch of characters, which is very hard to do if they take a lot of time to get "completed".)

I'm pretty much the same way. I love trying to level each class the most efficient way possible, and in as little time as possible. It's my main enjoyment of these games. Plus, it also gives me a good feel of everybody's class role in the dungeons and such when I know what their job is, and I know what mine is. My main has been collecting dust while I've been leveling the other 8 characters (mmm, altitis) and so far, they're all approaching 50.

And as far as the marriage thing goes, WoW can definitely hinder the relationship, but it can also give you a nice outlet if your spouse is(was) an asshole and you need to escape a lot.

Just to nit this a bit, I don't like the leveling very much, I prefer having the completed characters and being able to use them for things. Leveling is the hopefully short trip to getting the characters done.
