The game is a lot of fun, but this lady is smoking something. Other than the initial people who face new content there’s very little science in the game. They have also dummed it down with questhelper and other addons that reduce the amount of thought required for the game. Spreadsheets and min/max’ers have taken most of the math out now as well.

I actually don’t find that many “kids” playing. The most common people I run with are suppposedly in their 20’s or early 30’s. I tend to believe them on their ages when we have to stop a dungeon so they can grab a brewski.

She also left out a lot of the negatives of the game environment. I’m guessing she never ran into “nerd rage” or “loot thieves”. Not to mention “guild drama” and “ganking”.

Yeah, funny you should mention that. Some jerk on my server (Duskwood) promised me an enchant which I gave him materials for (like 2000 gold worth), then he logged off, and refused the enchant and to give me the mats back. Blizzard eventually restored the mats to my account - like 4 weeks later. That dude is still playing. But it was a valuable lesson - in theft, I guess. Buyer beware....
