One doesn't have to be a Microsoft fanboy to notice that the iPod supports a relatively limited number of audio formats and is by design locked down to a single way to access your music (iTunes). Also, last I checked, it's impossible without the help of 3rd party software to (easily) recover music from your iPod in the event of your computer's hard drive failing. It's usually for some combination of these reasons that many audiophiles and tech-savvy folk avoid iPods.
Why is the parent modded flamebait? It's spot on accurate, and the grandparent is modded +5 insightful, yet he pretty clearly has no idea what he's talking about, but rather seems to be projecting tired stereotypes of MMOs rather than drawing on any actual experiences.
Just to reiterate, while it may take thousands of hours of grinding to reach 70 and acquire the gear necessary to attempt end game encounters, what most/all high-end players thrive on is clearing new content. The sentiment that they "thrive on the same old [encounters]" is simply false.
