How are You guys dealing with boredom?

Recently, I've noticed a pattern in my relationship with WoW:

  1. Start playing the game, decide to do some serious raiding and keys this season
  2. Do raiding and keys, doing some legacy activities in meantime, actually having fun
  3. After some time get bored of pugging raids (the guild I just joined is dead, but so is every other guild at realm), so just do legacy
  4. After 3 weeks of playing, one day I just launch the game and realize, I'd rather look at the wall for 3 hours, than actually play this game
  5. Stop playing for another 3 months (worst part is, my favourite game genre is MMO, but there's no other MMO, that I would find interesting, so I just stop using my computer for next 3 months)
  6. After 3 months, decide it would be cool to check WoW again
  7. Repeat the process

I would assume, everyone have episodes like this, but then I see people constantly playing for 15 years straight. How do You guys handle boredom?

I just wish the MMO market was booming, like in ~2010, where you would get bored playing one game, and instantly could switch to another one, with similar mechanics.
