Re: Why are people so weak

Unfortunately your problem is not that unique in a game such as this. Many people who begin as "casual" slowly over time become consumed with having all purple's, and they don't care how that affects others. I am in my 5th guild now in about a year and half of playing WoW. I had a dream of starting my own guild because I know for a fact that I would never be that GL that wants to raid 7 nights a week. So, now I have my own guild, we are really small, only run maybe 1 or 2 instances a week, and the furthest we will ever get before Wrath of the Lich King comes out is Kara, if even that. Almost all of us know each other in real life which makes it easier.

I can understand how you feel. I have children, work full time, and am entering my senior year of college (yes I screwed around in the past but need to finish my degree at this old age of 35). I know I will never have the time to raid like some hardcore players do. I am fine with that.

If I was you, I would consider starting your own guild and recruiting members that feel as you do about the game. That way, if they too end up becoming obsessed with epics, you can boot them and move on. This is after all just a game, but it seems that a lot of people turn it into a lifestyle and a job.

Anyway, good luck with whatever happens next.
