Against all the games in the game space, DIII is well above average -- and there is still room for them to improve some things to bring it up to a solid A. Most people don't measure games by the number of years of exclusive obsession.
I tend to be pretty picky. I doubt I'd pay a premium price for a C level game, unless it had some redeeming quality in game play (challenge, genre, or longevity).
I measure games by return in entertainment value (hours). A 10$ movie in the theater gives 5$ per hour of entertainment. By that measure, a game is "worth it" if you can enjoy it for 60/5 = 12 hours. So, then $15 / month for a WOW account is equivalent to 1 or 2 movies in a theater per month.
There are cheaper entertainment options if you don't think it's worth it.
