Yeah, the thing that made wow so special is the thing that cannot exist anymore BECAUSE of the times.

The best thing about wow was exploring out in the wild and randomly seeing someone else doing the same. I made my first long term net friend running from troggs near Karanos.

Now, everyone is using the same speed Lvling guide to level as fast as possible, and people run right past everyone because everyone is trying to max lvl as fast as possible. It's so streamlined that most of the servers are on the exact same paths to get to places, doing the exact same quests and skipping the same quests.

You don't randomly meet strangers in the wild anymore to team up

Potato latkes were a modern invention 220 years ago you nitwit. it really wouldn't have been so hard to find a way to share the tidbit you knew without sounding like an absolute ass.

"Hey! That looks delicious! Did you know that this is kinda like what original latkes were like!"

See? I did it right there!

Hey there, fellow lefty who learned righty guitar. 1st off, good call, because you're gonna need to borrow a guitar at some point of your musical journey, and if you played a lefty guitar, you'd never be able to borrow.

2nd: you're just beginning. be comfortable sucking. you're gonna suck for a while. and that's ok. you'll get better slowly, and you won't always be able to measure the amount. but it will happen. the more you play, the better you get. the more time you put in at the beginning, I can tell you for a fact, you will shorten the length of time before you feel like you know what you're doing.

Keep it up and have fun. playing guitar changed my life, showed me the world, met amazing people, made my wife take interest in me, gave me an outlet to make something beautiful out of overwhelming depression.

The only bad part was I sucked at the beginning. And that's a small price to pay for a lifetime of enjoyment!
