What!? Are you saying you don't enjoy the company of psycopaths who's first reaction to a setback is to scream for the blood of their teammates? Oh come on, you don't think that is fun? Before WOW the only way you could find these people is at an AA meeting, their mom's basement, or burying bodies in their crawlspace.
Nah, just plow under Las Vegas. There is lots of sand hidden under pavement and homes, casinos, and CO2 generating cars. Plus it would free up water from the Colorado river. Win-win!
We are besieged by the Blizzard corporation. You must help us by finding and destroying 30 copies of WOW. You can find them in the wilds of Wal-Mart. Go now, and do not return until you have brought them to their knees!
Return to Aklephlub the Guardian of Cfgluggbubby when you have destroyed 30 copies of WOW.
The reputation system has got to be the most miserable part of the game. Even worse than the slot machine system they have for boss drops ("Ok, after 4 hours of running this instance you get...squat! Try again!"). Factions seem to be breeding like mad too. Soon we'll have the Cenarion Coffee Club faction to grind or some other time suck.
Gaining reputation also involves running the same dungeons over, and over...and over again. Two or three times may be fun but by the eigth time it is pretty much sucked dry. Same goes for the battlegounds, same map, same tactics, etc. You can guess how the game is going to end after the first five minutes of play but you stick around to get your token(s) and honor.
Other time sinks include the endless running around (god help the mountless), graveyard runs, cooldowns on everything, 5+ minute flightpaths, patterns that require gobs of rare farmed items, etc.
There is pretty much no puzzle solving outside of tactics and precious few of the quests are in any way fun. I'd have to say the bombing run quest in Hellfire was one of the most enjoyable ones in the game.
If they didn't have these obvious soul killing time wasters in the game most people wouldn't seek out tools like Glider.
The side-effects of lack of exercise aren't much better. If I could take a reasonably safe pill that would save me from having to run around a track for hours every day then I'm all for it.
This isn't a complete substitute though, you still have to move. It just makes the benefits of rigorous exercise easier to get.
He said the drugs worked off a person's genetics, pushing the body to an improved set-point otherwise gained only by strenuous training. "This is not just a free lunch," he said. "It's pushing your genome toward a more enhanced genetic tone that impacts metabolism and muscle function. So instead of inheriting a great set-point you are using a drug to move your own genetics to a more activated metabolic state."
You shouldn't even have to resort to countermeasures in the first place. It is like saying "I guess I'll wear a face fask to protect myself from being sucker punched by the TSA." You're accepting an unacceptable situtation. The only acceptable response to this policy (aka abuse) is to ban it legally and remove its supporters from the government. Unreasonable search and seizure shouldn't even be allowed now anyway.
I would imagine the drug itself would still be relatively inexpensive since it didn't have to be formulated and its action was found by accident. I also imagine that this is cheap to make. The shear number of constant sales could keep this drug at a very affordable price.
Republicans really missed the boat on this issue. I've talked to many owls and they are the most closed minded, conservative birds you could ever meet. Owls make blue jays look like anarchists, and don't get me started on those bigoted cormorants.

I don't know about that, but they will get hydrogene as a byproduct.
They probably go rogue because they are sick of being on the receiving end of stunlocks in battlegrounds all the time.
We're talking about WOW, right?
I can assure you that, based on walking around my city, that there are plenty of perfect 10s in this world.

Someone obviously forgot to tell Maria Sharapova and Anna Kournikova
"I can't g' up again! I g't nah more ashes!"
Well, he did get his ashes scattered.

Ok... This one could have some potential. Not sure how it would be implemented without annoying players.
Easy, keep everyone's toons constantly drunk.
OMG yes!

Thanks, I wish you had told me about the intern idea ealier!

Only on Slashdot would someone propose taking a pill to help them get an iPhone instead of wanting to take, say, Viagra.
There, fixed that for you.
I find that the people who think everyone else is stupid turn out to be just like everyone else.

The loss of all that porn would leave a gaping hole that must be filled!
Sounds more like Beijing. Maybe they can hold the next Olympics there.
This has been posted many times on Slashdot but is worth repeating.
