    It's a man's duty to prove that he has something bigger than your's Ultimate- just biggest.

    spouse - either member of a married pair in relation to the other; one's husband or wife.

    suppose - to assume (something), as for the sake of argument or as part of a proposition or theory

    What motivates a pro athlete to try and win a championship? They stop getting paid after then end of the regular season and could go home to spend their 25 million, they do it to be the best.

    Some people want to be winners at anything they do. Hell, in some places they have competitions on who has the best looking lawn in the neighborhood.

    I'm guesstimating here but i'd say a good 80+% of pro athletes end up as nobodies when they stop playing, you have the micheal jordan's that everyone would recognise on the street and then you have the other 80% of the teams he was on that nobody remembers.

    Exactly, so why not do everything you do in life to at least try be a somebody even if it's only for a year, a day, 15 minutes?

    to be proud on pve progress reminds me on people who write first in the comments section of any article. first of all how many guildy do actually train on ptr before the content gets live? its only a very small amount of guilds who take this "competition" serious the rest isnt in the competition they dont even try because they have better things to do. pve is not hard and never was, people who think they are "good gamers" because they are far in progress have never been really good in a pc game and thats why they dont have a clue waht real gaming skill means. pushing 5 buttons in the right order while avoiding fire walls has not much to do with being an athelete who plays at the limit of that what a human is capable of. pve you can learn in a few days or even less. pvp is a different story.

    What motivates you to even login at this stage of the game?

    World First is a fine example of a reason to actually play the game.

    For fun? Don't you do things for fun without any other things that motivate you?

    To some, the fun lies in being best at something.
    Bragging rights is a legit reason to get world first.

    With that said, world first at singing with a hat on might not be worth mentioning.

    Because being world first or server first is the only challenge left in the game?
    Do not trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.
