Warcraft

So ... been playing World of Warcraft more than I should. And it struck me ... again ... that leveling up your character in WoW is false accomplishment. Not that WoW is bad, mind you, and there's nothing wrong with playing it. What I'm talking about is how easy it is to allow that accomplishment to take the place of accomplishing real life goals
