[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3830611, member: 53"] Now that I have been able to access the yucky Gleemax blogs, I started setting up a usable list of the D&D related blogs. With that I started reading a few unrelated blogs. The Community manager posted an entry [url=http://www.gleemax.com/Comms/Pages/Communities/BlogPost.aspx?blogpostid=2552&pagemode=2&blogid=2120]"Why I don't like WoW" [/url] where he discusses his issues with the game. Of course the first creply deals with the fact that he states "I've leveled four characters to max level, on four different servers, to play with four different groups of friends, and each time I find the resulting gameplay to be empty and hollow for me." What, he hates the game (his words from the entry), yet he kept playing to max 4 characters on 4 different servers? The first respondent was incredulous (out of 6). Why keep playing a game that you aren't enjoying? I see that sort of response on these forums at time. "I have a bad DM who keeps doing this, how do I deal with it?" "I have a bad player who is ruining the game for us." A good number of replies tell them to quit or kick out the offending player. They are amazed that they haven't done it already. Yet, as the blog entry states, the main reason is that you aren't enjoying the game, but you are enjoying hanging out with friends. He isn't playing because he loves the experience, but his friends do and he wants to share that experience (and in GZ's case, keeping track of the competition is probably an issue). In other cases some of these players really have two choices. They can put up with the problems in the game they are discussing, or they can quit and not game at all. Everyone doesn't have dozens of groups they can enter and just start playing. Do you have a game you play in, or have played in, that you dislike or even hate, yet keep playing? Have you done that in the past? [/QUOTE]
