Kreigaffe:
I agree with you for the most part. However a number of people will probably disregard what you say because you said "smoke a joint" at the end. But what do they know, right?
Seriously, these uppers (ritalin/adderall) this article talks about aren't wonder drugs, and I find it disturbing that that's what is being implied. They are speed. If you have ever done speed, you know this. Same feeling. Refrence erowid about this stuff people, it's full of information.. then cross refrence it with rxlist if it's any sort of pill. So you can find out how much "cut" is in it to make the pill stick together, or to make sure you don't snort ect ect... Some of that stuff is REALLY bad for your liver. So once you find out how much of what is in the pill on rxlist you can cross refrence erowid and find out what those drugs do exactly according to medical studies and peoples expierences. Not to mention, how smart is it to burn the candle at both ends? When you take an upper like that that's what you're doing. Think about it?
I'll get off my soapbox now guys, but if this article inspires some sort of curiosity in you, or makes you think hey i need that... seriously, from the bottom of my heart. Research it, you'll probably find a little determination and ambition would do the same trick.;)
For the record. I understand PERFECTLY well that my WoW character is not "real" and is by no means a reflection of me as a person. It's a game.
Here's the kicker.
It's a game I enjoy playing!
I like to be happy. I like to smile. I like to do things I enjoy.
I don't like to be overly frustrated with tedious tasks. I don't like to get smacked down by people who can sit at home all day and farm eq/gold. I don't care for it, it makes my 14$ a month pointless.
I enjoy playing WoW, I just don't have tons of time for it. I understand that the people at blizzard cannot make a game that suits everyones schedule. I don't hold this aganist them, and I think it's probably better that it takes a long time to do these events. (The end level stuff can't be bought in the Auction House for the most part, so buying gold only really helps you level to 60 and buy mounts OR help you make more money on top of it.. so really gameplay at the end is about the same)If these raids and such at the end didn't take time and strategy it would degrade the gameplay. Even if you're wearing epic equipment for some of the last raids.. if someone slips, you all die. It should be hard, it should take a long time. I don't refute that at all. But i'll be buying my time back from a chinese sweatshop TYVM. So while you guys are whining ingame and skinning boars. I'll logon, waste some time raiding or playing battlegrounds with my great eq. Have a GREAT time.. then just go hangout with my friends, family, whatever i feel like doing in my free time. time i BOUGHT..
One guy compared spending money on WoW gold to hiring a cleaning service. I agree with him wholeheartedly. He got well.. flamed for it.. since it's a game? as if we don't understand what we're spending money on? I know what i'm spending money on, i made a concious effort to spend it. I've enjoyed it immensely when logged on. I bet he did too. So why flame him for that? It's a service. We're just buying a service. When i look at money vs time in my life, i'd rather drop the 60$ than take the time away from other things i like to do.
So if i'm so strapped for time, maybe i shouldn't play?
The thing is i WANT to play and i don't feel like any smartmouth answer like "you should just not play" fixes anything...
None of us have THAT much time here anyway. Do what makes you laugh, do what you enjoy, and don't let hateful whiney people take away your time. If there's a market for this service use it if you want too, depends what doing the things you enjoy (all of them) is worth to you.
Personally i want to do as much as i can. So look, selfish me buys gold.. and has a GREAT time! Then logs off, and still has a great one in RL.
