"Gotta Catch 'Em All:" How I Play Warcraft

[the_fox_bandit]

We all know that everybody seems to tell everybody how to enjoy their movies/books/games/competitive disco crochet. One of the most annoying manifestations of this phenomenon takes place inside of that behemoth of a MMORPG, WoW! What people always seem to miss is that it's (1) a game, and that (2) people enjoy their games in completely different

A big FUCK YEAH to all of this. At this point all of the characters I regularly play are BLOOD ELVES because I just love the way Blood Elves look! I like their animations! Also i too keep my bank BRIMMING with awesome outfits. Plus, my main, Milly, is a tailor so sometimes I will make stuff JUST BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY. There is this one set that I will never actually use in combat because it's like a pretty useless resist set that I don't need, but I made all the pieces and keep it because it's goooorgeous.

ZANGARMARSH IS THE PRETTIEST ZONE EVER. Also haha I have the opposite thing for the same reasons with logging out. Milly always logs out in inns in the most private place I can find because that is just the kind of person she is!

I COLLECT BOTH VANITY PETS AND MOUNTS TOO. But haha not as impressively as you! I decided that I didn't necessarily want to do it to try for the achievements or whatever because if I focus too much on that sort of thing it stresses me out. So Milly just kind of has a weakness for vanity pets and keeps a STABLE of mounts in different colors and whatnot.

I WANT TO MAKE MY FLYING CARPET SO BAD OMG. BUT I DON'T HAVE THE STUPID GEMS AND IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS. I only have ONE and I need FOUR and I keep being too cheap to buy them OVERPRICED on the AH. Maybe I should check back hahaha. Since I haven't played in like three months.

This post reminded me of all the ways I have fun in WoW and how much I just enjoy the game. And yes I have to agree with commenter above me.

At one point my brother and I actually made a bank guild called This Is Not My Job.
