  1. Nice Video Supa! I think this ties in the reason for why you do anything in life. Myself I focus alot of my diet and strength training and train beachvolley. The gym ties in to intrinsic and status motivation. I like to the able to lift weight that I never manage before and also wanna feel and look good. The reward treadmill is more connected to beachvolley where winning a tournament gives the satisfaction. For WoW, all of the motivations are intertwined. I do think the intrinsic is lacking as you're saying. I play mage myself and the only thing I wanna do is PvP. I wanna land that perfect sheep after a kidney shot while the other dps is cc:d as a perfect setup to completely shut down the enemy team. Hope this video blows up with views

  2. I like this style of video man. Nice change of pace, I feel like there is something to gaming and psychology content. But maybe that's in my head lol…

  3. My first experience with a malevolent griefer was waaayyyy back in Classic, I was on the boat between continents and a priest on the boat challenged me to a duel. I accepted, and he/she MC'd me off the boat right before the load screen and left me in the ocean. I was kind of an awe that they did something so mean no reason, and left me thinking about what kind of person they are lol

  4. They've just made every class feel completely over tuned, they've given them everything they could possibly need which removes the individualism between classes that on top of having to repeat the same content and being railroaded into stuff like boreghast regardless of what other thing you actually want to do makes the game 110% repetitive.

    I'm gonna queue TBC as SL PvP is absolute garbage

  5. There should be 2 treadmills in the game for progression:

    1) Purposeful treadmill; this is the power put in the game for you to obtain by the designers that enables you to do the higher end content. iLvl, Renown, Azerite.

    2) Superficial Treadmill; this is the goals that the players decide to chase for themselves… pvp rating, mount collection, transmog, achievement farming, etc.

    They need to reconcile these, the best expac to do it imo, despite all of it's other issues, was WoD
