And look, it's working already.
You don't even have to try. All you have to say is maybe you just aren't having as much fun as you did at launch and its "Find something else to do. This game is awesome. Hater."

I do believe nobody has said that...

I said go outside... but that's general advice I give to anyone who is bored with a game.
Do something else for a while and maby the game will be fun again. There is such a thing as over-endulgance.

If you play MMOs with a dedicated amount of time, then most companies can't keep up with their players anymore. It's to be expected that you take breaks, play other games, and generally do whatever you want until something interests you again. As someone who plays far too many games, I'm always behind on what I want to do so I'm never bored.

I actually wish I could focus on games more so I could achieve more like I did 'in the ole days'.

Go outside, do anything. Even if it's nothing, sit outside with a drink.
Make a rootbeer float.
Put some food on the grill.
Get your hair cut.
Sit in the sun.
Ride your bike.
Go rollerblading.
Go running.
See how many times you can run up a hill.
Go walking around your neighbor just because.
Fix up something that you own.
Put some heart into stuff.
Customize your room.
Make some lemonade and soak up the sun.
Go grab something to eat at a local joint and sit outside.
Just relax, focus on doing absolutely nothing and zone out.
Go to a beach if you have one, doesn't have to be the ocean can be even a small lake.
Go to a forest preserve.
Be at one with nature.
Wash your car.
Wax your car.
Wash your driveway.
Cut your grass
Edge your lawn.
Plant a garden.
Snips some flowers
Pull some weeds.
Turn over some soil.
Make your house really POP!
Tidy the lawn up.

If you are more of an indoor person

Browse forums
Listen to some music
Type what's on your mind
Look all doors, turn off the phone and zone out on a wall
Take a nice relaxing bath with candles! (salt a big plus )
Shave
Freshen up
Vacuum the floors
Clean the walls
Tidy up the place.
Blare the tv as loud as you want
Go dancing on your carpet
Play with your pet (if you have one)
Check your email
Look out a window
Change stuff around in your room

I would advise going with option 1! Being outside is very nice! Especially when the sun is on you. If you want and have a laptop, take your laptop outside. Then you can be on forums all day while being outside and in between things if you get bored with that do stuff around the house. Win win!

There are a ton of things you have to do. One thing I have to say. PLEASE don't become like some of the kids I play League of Legends with. They are younger these days and they have been spoiled/turned lazy by technology. They NEVER go outside. It's always League of Legends nonstop when they get home from school at 4 till they go to bed. Every single day then when I ask "don't you ever go outside?" "hahaha no, there's nothing to do outside, what am I going to do." Then I give them a whole list and they always have a justification as to why it sucks. Florida is a beautiful state that is sunny a lot and very warm and the kid I talk to barely EVER goes outside. His mom has to force him sometimes to. Don't become like that please. Go outside. Do anything! Even if it's nothing.
Always be who you are, not what the galaxy wants you to be

See but you are making assumptions that it is the players fault and they are the ones in the wrong, even if it's just as innocent as maybe just wanting more to do in game and they already do that other stuff outside of the game.

Always the players fault around here. This game is perfect.

Fact: Boredom is a self-inflicted feeling in human beings.

Now.. if this was the ONLY MMO on the planet... I think saying one is "bored with the MMO" might be a real feeling.... BUT it's not and there are lots of choices in the market AND players are responsible for their own feelings about something.. and boredom is a feeling.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

nobody has more power or authority over your happiness than YOU.
No person (or entity) is more responsible for your actions YOU.
No person (or entity) is more responsible for your life and how you live it, than YOU.

If you don't like something in your life change it. If you don't enjoy something stop doing it. If you don't get value out of something don't buy it.

If you don't like your job, quit. You don't like your house, move. Don't like this game, stop playing. Don't like the food, stop eating it.

Nothing I or anyone else does can have more impact on your life, than what you choose to do.

Don't tell me what to do! You're not the boss of me! I'm going to my room!
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

I'm sure its a great business model if people at one time said to McDonalds "I'm bored with eating Big Macs" and McDonalds said "Thats a you problem. Go outside and eat a salad or something. Eventually you will want a Big Mac again" And it would be better for that person to go out and eat a salad, probably. But that doesn't do McDonald's any good. Thats why they make stuff like the Quarter Pounder, Mcnuggets and McRibs.
