It's not really that good to be honest. If you've played a lot of MMOs, i suppose WoW would be the king of MMOs. But that's like being the best turd out of a pile of turds.
Here's the combat incase you've never played:
*click the enemy*
*wait for them to die, no need to click again, combat is automatic*
There you go. As you get further into the game, you unlock other things to click, like say, as a tank i had Hammer of the Righteous which i would click and a little effect would show on the character it was used on, and their health would be somewhat lower. It's boring but addictive, somehow. Tests for e-heroin have come back as inconclusive, so we're still trying to figure out what the fuck Blizzard are pumping this game with.
And be prepared for a shit-faced-terrible community. It's literally full of fuckwits, and you'll find yourself turning into one. Also, WoW takes up a major amount of your time, as if you didn't already know.
As a side - and totally unrelated - note, it's "W-oh", not "W-ow". I hate people who pronounce it the second way.

To each his/her own, I guess. I just assume it's because your not cut out for MMOs, and not everyone is. I'm into WoW, but I'm not cut out to be a FPS gamer, it's all based on preferences. By the way, the way you described combat in the game is the jist of combat in, I don't know, just about every game with combat; choose a target/area you want to attack, chose what weapon/ability/spell you want to attack with, rinse and repeat while using different tactics for different enemies until said enemy is dead.
Anyway, to King Toasty, it really just depends on what kind of gamer you are, if you have the income to support it, and if you can appropriately balance it with your work/school and social life. I personally can play it for reasonable amounts of time to avoid it cutting into my life, and yet still amply enjoy the lore, settings, quests, dungeons, raids, and PvP. Not all at once, of course, but it just goes to show there is a lot to enjoy from the game (there's a reason WoW has stayed on top in the MMO competition). As for the quality of the community, that also depends on the server you play on, but you can turn off that chat or put specific people on ignore if you want to. However, assholes are a dime a dozen in any online community, so it's not a "solely WoW" thing. If you have any friends who play the game and you do start playing it, find out what server they play on and their character(s)'s name(s), because as with any multiplayer game, it's always best (and more fun) to play with friends.
