What has WoW taught you?

[Muajin76]

I can say in my case....WoW has taught me NOT to touch sheep and say NO to *sapped* girls.

[nexellent]

that game devs only see profit, not making a good game.

Things in my sig. Only when trying to figure out why it lost all appeal to me after all these years, I found the WDM model, Scientific Revenue, what a Skinner box is, patents for mtx (aka value added services) promoting, tools for making the player pay more and more, etc.
It’s disgusting and sad (on a personal level for me).

That if you ever want to see just how extremely mentally disturbed a vast majority of the worlds population is , read the forums or trade chat.

That Piles of Dust are worth more than Gold Bars. Meaning if you want $$$ just clear out your attic.

True, but I just find it funny how vendors take a solid gold bar and shill you only 6 Silver when they will give you 1 Gold for some useless dust. Imagine a vendor looking disappointed with their new shiny gold bar but elated with their new pile o' dust.

That no king rules forever. (WoW)

[Loveliest]

A lot of things about human nature. For example:
- that people enjoy "having", not necessarily achieving, above all else; that they enjoy the idea that others might look at them for what they have (even if most don't care)
- that people enjoy hindering others to a disturbing point (like camping a low level quest area for 8 hours straight)
- that people really enjoy "putting someone in his place", to the point where even if a proposed change helps everyone people would rather put it down as "it's not needed, there are workarounds, so don't do it"
- in the same vein, that people have an amazing ability to make excuses for absolutely everything if they put their mind to it
- that some people are incredibly persistent in getting what they want - they can repeat doing the same thing over and over for days upon days for something very small
- that a lot of people really don't think for themselves and repeat things they hear somewhere else (eg people in my heroic-only guild where everyone has a spot complaining about legendaries or titanforges, socials who never raid nor even do dungeons complaining about their class' viability)

That it is easier to find friends, and make family online? Haha.

[Rhade1337]

WoW taught me that many say they are good but at the end they are just full of crap, happens all the time.

[Julmara]

90% lfr players are trash and at least 50% randoms for dungeons are too

[Justpassing]

That I can just run up to almost any woman and ask to browse their goods.

[Chemii]

Mostly its taught me about human nature and how people with poor social skills operate.

[Charge me Doctor]

mostly that people act like total dickheads and entitled to their opinions

[Asaliah]

WoW taught me that whatever you do you will always have tons of whiners on the internet.

[Crudence]

It has taught me that Goldshire is a place where strange things happen... Very strange things...
