Why do people farm the baron rivendare mount when they could just get the undead mount?

Internet fame, and for the top-end world guilds, there actually is some money involved. They usually have sponsors that pay them for downing content, so that they can take time from what they do when not being world firsts to be world firsts. These guys hafta eat and stuff, too.Originally Posted by Pewzor
Other than that, I have no idea.

Pride.Originally Posted by darkfireyguy
Could be pride in the "bad" way: "Hah! I'm better than you, 'cuz I got a world first!"
Could be pride in the "good" way: "I'm proud that I was able to set myself a goal and accomplish itself; makes me feel good about myself."
Either way... "bragging rights" is a good answer.

Hi
Because its extremely hard and time consuming, some ppl are motivated by ppl saying they wont make it
Your greed, your foolishness has brought you to this end.

What motivated you to make this thread?
Attention.
you cant tell me if you didnt have the skill/resources to get a world first in a raid or a world first in general (80, professions etc wtc) you wouldnt do it, lets see when you succeed people on your sever will pretty much know you own the content thats gota be a nice stroke to the gamers ego and who doesnt like that (who ever says they dont is full of gnomish lies!)
i quoted chex!

What makes a cricketer want to be the best? What makes a tennis player strive for glory? Same thing as these guys. It's no different, and you can't say it is just because it's a computer game. These "WoWHardcore"(not derogatory, just true :P) people have the same feelings and desires as those they play to be the best in any sport.Originally Posted by Sansai

Hell yeah if I could I'd be up there doing it with the rest of them! Unfortunately being a student trying to make a living and study... meh, some of you know how that is :P
i strive for it (and never accomplish yet) because i know IF i even get close to it i did my very best. if i do my very best and shit gets done then i'm content and had fun.
imagine downing the boss as a chocolate cake. its awesome and is delicious. getting a world first is like getting a cold glass of milk with it
Where is this topic about? Could you please be more detailed? Putting a link in the OP would be nice. :P

Some people like being the best. ;D
Also if you are dps do you try and top the meter, or just chill there and spam random buttons hoping the guy you are fighting dies?
People like you, saying shit like "top end guilds get paid for downing content" as if it were fact, are retarded and don't understand what sponsorship means. Notice how all of Ensidia's UI's are in a widescreen format? all big resolutions? that's because what sponsors DO give are things like that; monitors, mouses, keyboards, computers, etc. Ensidia(or any top guild) raid members don't get a check mailed to their house because they got A Tribute To Insanity. Stupid, just stupid.Originally Posted by Fenixdown
WoW is one of most progresive game for last few years.
Btw can someone say me what had been motivation for football( only one game desire this name ) to make teams, to play and broke there legs in 1890 -1930 year. Most of them, dont get paid for this. Love in game.
I love this game.
I kinda feel bad for the other members in the top guilds next to the officers etc..
I mean Kungen is popular yes, who can name me the other 25 people in the raid whithout googling it. Anyway weird question on this topic...who doesn't like to be known?
Everyone who compares WoW with sports makes me want to rage.
Hi
I can still remember about perhaps 10 other raidmembers if I focus :P (but not because im fan of Ensidia, I just watched the Illidankillmovie so often, because I liked the music :P)Originally Posted by Sarac
Muqq, Buzzkill, Inthya only to name a few.
I can only bring to mind a handful, mostly DKs due to the fact I lurk on their forums for advice, but it's the guild name that everyone remembers, and anyone in Ensidia already has that.Originally Posted by Sarac
As far as why people aspire to world firsts, it's about the only achievement left in this game that is worth anything. At least in Wrath, the content has become so damn easy that it isn't about who's killed what, it's about who took the shortest time to kill it. With the current level of difficulty in ICC world/server firsts aren't important because anyone can accomplish it with mostly 0 wipes, but when Heroic mode is released, we'll start to see something a bit more meaningful.
