yeah it is a 2nd job, thats for sure. In the beginning it didnt feel that way, but at the end I was so burned out it wasnt enjoyable anymore, raiding 5 nights a week till 12am and then having to get up for work at 5am. I still like to raid on occasion but enjoy it now much more not feelng like I'm being rushed. Not to mention I dont miss all the drama about loot.
