Gaming for Personal Realization |
Renewed my [[World of Warcraft]] account last Sunday against my better judgement. A number of times I've seen Lv 70's with two new players in toe, running through all the enemies in the area. I grew rather angry with the situation and started thinking to myself about writing a post on how to properly help new guild mates and in fourth chakra tradition turned the anger on myself to fuel this one instead.

Why was I angry? I certainly have a philosophy on how best to help lower level members and even if they were just alternative characters being power leveled I found the action distasteful. On the basic principle it was probably because his actions ultimately reduced my productivity.

I got to thinking about my philosophy: You best help low characters by joining them with a similar level character. The idea is that they learn their character and they still receive aid. At the core of that idea is that you can learn the game, which is perhaps why my real life don't reflect myself in that realm. Certainly the dedication and motivation i show in games is nearly non-existent except in short rare bursts for a specific task.

I think the disharmony is that I can learn a game pretty easily; Theory and a few attempts usually has a clear outcome. Theory just doesn't work for me outside of the programmed realms. It usually takes more than a few attempts to determine the viability of something and there are way more things to be taken to account and can change with the situation. I recognize the ambiguity but don't have the drive to confront it, perhaps even shying away from the whole situation.

Question remains what I would find fulfilling to do in the real world with my abilities.
