I can totally appreciate that resentment, but I don't think that it's anything specific to WoW -- it can be just as tedious listening to people talking about golf, for instance (OMG my step-grandparents) -- or I remember in high school when several of my friends were watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and insisted on talking about it at length around me without bothering to explain even what they were talking about.
Blathering on at length about topics that exclude other members of the conversation is just fundamentally rude. I try not to do it, and I am irritated by and resentful of those who do, regardless of the subject matter. However, I feel the blame lies on the heads of the people, not their subject matter...
