I partly agree with whats said here but with the new level 90 boost I cant see a better time for new players to start playing. You get a free one when you buy Warlords of Draenor. That being said these newer games like ESO and GW2 are excellent competitors. Bang for your buck wise GW2 is hard to beat.
