raiding and pvp is something that needs WORK
WORK is something with a retirement plan

I quite like garrisons but they weren't the game I hoped for.
Very little feeling of player input, no real design freedom or sense of 
building something.
I don't mind pointless grinding, it just seems there isn't even much 
point now, or it is behind too many gates.
I just don't have the huge chunks of time, or the regular little bits of 
time, or the reactions , to play much of wow now.

Lately I have booted up Dungeon Keeper original running on dos box, and 
a few other oldies.
DK from 1997 and still more distracting than most of wow that I can play.
Though limited playability more fun for a while.

There is a recent app modelled after DK, it is rubbish.

I have a few others, I just love builder/garrison games.
I happily spend hours filling/revealing/obliterating all appropriate 
points on the maps, no rush since it will end eventually.
