WoW the Next "Golf"?

TheGrapeApe writes "1up has an article about the possibility of World of Warcraft becoming the next "Golf": A place where friends, acquaintances, and perhaps even business partners will meet up to "talk shop" and swap stories. Personally, I can't wait until I have my next job interview in the Deadmines. " I demand extra healing and mana pots from all my employees.

golf is good because you can cheat... or, more importantly, let your boss cheat. it's easy to turn the other way when the vp of sales kicks his titelist back onto the fairway.

in wow, however, such "curtousies" are hard to pull off.

ummm, you haven't done much raiding then. Either that or you've never raided with a foreign guild.

Let's say you're a warrior. A Hammer designed for warriors drops, but the group gives it to Gary, who is a hunter instead of you. The reason? Because.... he's Gary!

You mention that management enjoys having their egos stroked. Once you get to 60, new armor pieces are all about stroking egos. The complex social structure in the game doesn't even start until you reach 60, and people start building their armor sets.
