I can't really speak as a high level or as a lurker guild member because i'm really neither. I've just started playing WoW. But I have played nearly every major MMORPG that has come out since UO and i've found a good way to judge if i should keep paying for my account upkeep.
Generally if i can get 10+ hours of entertainment out of a game each month I will keep paying to play it. (with the additional requirement of whether or not there is a different game that draws my interest at the time.) The way i see it is MMO's are the cheapest form of entertainment you can find. 15 dollars each month could either go for my account on an MMO or it could take me to two movies (maybe) that month. Would I rather have unlimited possible entertainment from an MMO for that money or 4-6 hours of entertainment from a movie or two?
Now there are lots of games that i've cancelled subscriptions for that I just couldn't bring myself to log in anymore from pure boredom (cough EQ2 cough) so if you fit in that catagory than I guess you should find a new fix. Another thing to keep in mind, however, is that a general MMO schedule releases a new Expansion every 6-8 months so it would be fair to assume that an expansion will probably be announced in the next couple months, possibly at E3. News has already started filtering out on the EQ2 expansion and that game was only released a little bit before WoW.
