Velious burnout is setting in, I think. I suspect some folks forgot that the first expansion to realistically support 5 day a week raiding required spending most of that time in the same zone...over, and over, and over, and over. This applies both to the lower end folks (endless Kael) and the high-end guys (endless Temple of Veeshan). My own friend list, composed mostly of lower-end players like myself, has indeed thinned out a bit lately. "Sick of Kael" is a common refrain. The problems encountered by high-end folks are well-known (just go read the Rants forum to get a taste) and contribute to member churn.
