Saturday Night WoW

My mains are both seventy, have tried the two dailies available w/out complicated group activities or secret knowledge, and will keep doing the daily cooking till they have all the recipes. ("Fires Over Skettis" is a tedious and time-consuming way to earn a few gold, pointless as far as I can see if you don't want rep so you can get the exotic flying mount.)

My beloved Horde hunter will keep farming things for his guildies, but probably won't do much more than that; and my Alliance 'lock may specialize her alchemy (choosing the only specialization that doesn't require group activities), but has no one to play with or support so isn't much interesting anymore. I had imagined I would complete quests after 70, but every time I look at their quest logs I suffer ennui.

However, the Saturday night instancing group is still good fun. Read more... ) And I'm glad I don't have to explain that to the earnest, dedicated WoW players* who either can't understand playing for fun, or can't imagine finding fun in casual Saturday night street games when you could be in serious training for the national tournament (so to speak -- and for which I've doubtless used the wrong terms as I'm not a team-sport aficionado).

*By which I do not mean people who are merely good at it, or experienced, or both; I mean those who mistake it for life.

WoW

I always told my honey it would be a bad plan if I ever learned WoW. But he kept and kept saying how sad that he had no one to play with, and how much more fun it is with friends, and how sad that his friends' characters were way higher level than any of his characters and his other friends were infrequently available for play, and...

Well. I'm sure I'll find time for some of my other activities again any day now.
