My vote for idiot of the month

[Xar]

Wow!

I enjoy many of the dailies on days that I feel like doing them, there are so many of them now that are quick easy gold x5 + rep.

I love playing as a tankadin. It's absolutely an amazing feeling being able to tank like 20 level 70 mobs simultaneously, solo. XD And having a tanked as a war and a druid, let me tell you, I'd never five man tank as anything other than a pally unless forced under pain of death.

That being said -- play for fun. That's why I have alts. Don't grind for gold for the sake of leveling something that potentially makes more gold. The farmers have you beat. If you really wanted to do it just for the gold, I'd say get a part time job and spend that money buying gold -- you'll get way more for your time invested.

Oh, and pretty much every tradeskill can make money except blacksmithing and engineering. Just say no.

Want fast, easy money? Just do the dailies. With 5 70's, you're talking about a new epic mount every few weeks.

We should have a monthly "Idiot of the month" poll, where everyone submits their favourite (Multiboxing) QQ threads from the WoW forums.

Votes should be cast on the criteria of

• Trolling skillz
• Originality of QQ
• lack of logic
• Was staff intervention required during the post

I forsee fun :-)

Unfortunately (or fortunately) these games are designed so that there is always another task or item to achieve and if they aren't keeping you on the treadmill then they are losing money. It is hard to find a balance, you're right on there. Grinding BG's for honor is a great example of that.

I was heavily invested in another rce mmorpg before I came to wow. I made a lot of money, but they started changing the game making it less profitable and it was taking more and more effort to get the same results. It wasn't fun anymore, it started to become a job, and a job that didn't pay for the amount of work I was putting into it. At that point, I decided one real job was enough. I was playing online games first and formost to have fun, and it wasn't fun anymore. So I cashed out and never looked back.

Same thing for raiding, when I started getting angry irl because of the idiots that just didn't get it and kept wiping the raid, costing everyone gold and time and effort and gimping our progression, I stopped raiding. This is a game, its supposed to be fun. The moment it starts becoming your second job, or starts causing you irl stress and anger because of things going on in game, then just stop and do something else. Unless your a masochist, why pay money to Blizz to do that to yourself.

MB'ing has made this enjoyable again for me. If it ever stops being fun, I will exit stage left in a heart beat. Try not to spend to much time measuring yourself against other people in the game and what they have. You will always find someone who has more free time to devote to playing and they will always have better gear. Just do what you can with what you have and just measure your progress against yourself and be happy with your own reasonable progression. That's all that really matters.

I'm sorry but I also have to nominate myself. Remember in my defence my last 2 mains were a Lock and a Pally.....freeish mounts and no training required. So there I am in Shadowmonn Valley with some shiny new 70s - magex2 and 1 priest and I go and try to buy the riding skill for their flyers....WTF is this ? I have to buy the epic riding skill for land mounts FIRST!!!! - fail. I'd avoided buying epic land mount riding because I thought I'd save some gold and skip to flyer. So I've been riding slowly for 10 levels >.< only to discover I have to buy it anyway. Only been playing wow forever >.< /slap - now of course I don't have enough gold for the flyers AAARRRGGGG!!! lol
