I got into WoW for 40 man raids because I enjoy grouping up together with friends to kill monsters and steal their treasure and, at the time, WoW let me be an elf hunter who teamed up with warriors, mages, rogues, etc and cooperate in running dungeons and killing bandits or whatever and what not when D&D at the time was about stringing together a bunch of random classes/prestige classes to make characters who can outshine everyone else in the party and consistently steal the spotlight. MMOs can possibly deliver on any of the 8 aesthetics of play. Some TTRPGs can deliver better on some of those of course, but there are plenty of nerds I know who play MMOs who would have definitely been TTRPG players had WoW not been a thing. My roommate is one of those. Despite fate being determined to make her not-a-D&D-fan(Tiefling Beastmaster Ranger as her first character, most of her DMs being mediocre at best, social anxiety, our preferred LGS for AL being over an hour commute for her, etc), I'm trying to preach the good word of TTRPGs but dang is it hard.</blockquote>
