I just an unsociable amount of time in WoW in the first month and only month despite the warnings of my friend who did the same in WotLK Classic. Let me tell you something, GenderIsOpSec, he was right and I'm right in that you have better things to do. There are better games to play. My friend is somehow a mastermind of ingratiating himself into communities and does it during his leisure time. He used that to get into a top tier raiding guild, getting glad titles, etc. He still called it a waste. My ass was anxious to join a discord to talk to people having a laugh. The game by itself is a flood of text you probably won't read, cutscenes you end up skipping, and a gameplay loop that isn't that bad. You heard me right, it's not that bad. Killing shit in WoW is kinda fun. But there are other ways you can spend that time that rocks. If you're going to be alone, you can play a single player game. If you can socialize well, play lethal company, or do cold calls or whatever extroverts do in their free time.

It's cheap entertainment. It's stimulating, but not engaging. The best part of it would be the community building and you're better off building that community over something that isn't fucking WoW.
