This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I remember trying wow in their 10 hour demo being like “I’m just killing spiders when does this get fun?”

Then a friend told me “it takes 20 hours to get to the fun bit”. I then uninstalled and never looked back.

It doesn't take 20 hours to get to the fun but, it just wasn't for you.

Yeah def not.

There is fun in changing zones sightseeing and getting really powerful abilities, running in raids. But if the hook for the core kill loop doesn't catch, you're going to have a bad time.

Yeah probably not.

Which is good for me as it saved me $15/month.

So what? The grind is the fun bit to you?

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

I never actually said one way or the other if I like it or not.

I remember leaving the dwarf starter zone for the first time. Passed some NPC dwarfs, got chased by a mob that was way too powerful for me and barely survived. When I was done running, and was safe, I looked around and saw the entrance to IronForge.

That's when I knew the game was for me
