[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 4603604, member: 4"] I don't play WoW. I experienced what I am like with this sort of game when I played City of Heroes. I was obsessed enough that I kept doing it, but I was never able to keep up with any of the hard-core players (I would still be looking around or trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B) while the group I was with would already be there and done with the mission. Even if I did catch up, I had no concept of "roles" ala blaster, healer, whatever, I just did whatever felt fun at the time, and that made me a very sub-par player. [BTW that feeling of being stuck in a one-note role is one of the things I like least about 4E. Different thread, probably!] The balance between fun, time, effort ultimately led me away from games of this nature. I know I would probably be one of those obsessed/play-all-the-time guys if I let myself try WoW. And yet a lot of the time I spent doing it I would find it a joyless chore but I would keep on doing it. That's not a great situation or where I want to be with my life right now. :) [/QUOTE]
