on second thought...

The husband and I both play World of Warcraft. (Somehow it feels as though there should be the obligatory, "yes, I'm a geek" comment here.) And we're coming across a small problem. We are perhaps the slowest levelers on the planet and as we get nearer to 80 we've gotten even slower. Non-existent. Actually we aren't even playing those characters anymore. And I think it stems from one major reason: We don't like people much.

That's not entirely true. We have social lives and can manage meeting people and all that. We like going out with friends and all that good stuff. (BTW, thanks for having us over the other night, Thistlewitch!) But in school I was always one of the kids that hated group work. Chemistry was the worst for continual group work, but I especially hated when we all had to do a paper or project together.

So raiding is supposed to be the real fun of the game, but all I listen to people do is complain about it. Getting groups, getting gear, groups not working out, bad players, good players, and so on and so forth. Do I really want to get into that?

On the other hand, I really enjoy the leveling aspect. Most people consider it boring, but boring things tend to interest me quite a lot. I like studying grammar. History books enthrall me. So it's not the first time this has occurred. I may never reach level 80.
