The only reason it possibly ends in 7 seasons is that the main cast is only signed through 6 and their contracts will be prohibitively expensive for anything beyond that.
As far as 'boring' goes, I watched all of season 6 over two days a couple of weeks ago, and never really felt bored at any point. I'm disappointed in the widening departure from the events of the books but aside from that I don't think there's been any significant falloff in quality.
