Wed, 28 Feb 2007 19:19:50 +0000 http://www.killtenrats.com/?p=922#comment-16499 [...] We were playing our level 26 blood elf hunter duo and just doing some regular quests when I thought it might be fun to show my wife Shadowfang Keep. We spent some time playing around in there and eventually I decided to have my brother bring his level 70 mage over to show the whole Keep to my wife. Little did I know how much fun we would have watching him round up 30 monsters and then killing them all in three seconds. It was hilarious. We had so much fun that we did it again and had our son watch too. He was laughing so hard, it was great.

I was out of town working at the time but my daughter said that he wasn't sleeping a night, getting up for school and then taking a short nap when he got back home. When I asked him why on earth would he do that, he gave a similar response - to be the best aka the first in his guild to hit 70 and then attuned for all the instances.

Being "the best" at tennis is meaningful...to those who care about tennis. It's all relative if you ask me. There is most definately ability and skill in WoW - I see it (and the lack of it) every day. I most definately have fun playing and enjoy hanging around the people in my guild, but I guess I thought that would be assumed. Hey Frank nice to hear from you!

He lost all credibility with me after that.

Aside from any prizes being associated with tennis competition (and anyone who spent as much time playing tennis as you have on warcraft would stand a decent chance of making something of themselves in any field) it's about actual ability and skill. Apart from the knowledgability, thing there is nothing in warcraft that you can become the best of that isn't just a case of you being the guy who spent the most time and who was willing to sacrifice the most of your RL for. Give me other reasons, that you have fun, that you like the people and I'll accept them, but any desire to be 'the best' at warcraft is like trying to be the best at watching TV.

Glad to see you're still having fun with WoW. And really, that's what it's all about... having fun. And if you can get ~6hrs/day fun for the price of $15/month... more power to ya. I left WoW just before the expansion, dunno if I'll be back any time soon but will drop in and say hi if I do. Grim…. you’ve gotten worse since we last spoke… hehe.
