Putting the quads with helis makes sense.
As for getting bored watching quads, well, one mans being bored is another mans being interested. To each their own. Not sure I follow the fellows logic about a quad going up, and then a pilot gets bored and goes out and buys fixed wing? Does this fellow realize a quad may be doing the same exactly thing, ie flying in circles? I've met plenty of quad pilots who got bored out of their minds flying planks in a circle.
It's a good time to get back into the hobby though, plenty of interesting aircraft out there and the prices are pretty reasonable. Good luck, and have fun no matter what you fly.
