The encounter itself, camp-claim-kill, is our focus.
No, not everyone has said "over and over" again that instanced content would give the same content. If I have read anyone that has said that, I would agree with them and not care about the rest, because all I would want to do is fight the HNM once and be done then. I am sorry I didn't read all 110 pages of this thread, I have only ready from the current posts since it's necro revival.

For you the focus is simply the camp-claim-kill...not for others like Kryptic. (Which that is who my post was intended for, thanks for taking it out of context.)

2.)-SE was a hypocrite?? That 'content' was experienced with friends and family. Xatsh, and obviously others, managed thier job/career just fine as he said. Who's to say anyone of those 'people like you', as you claim, isn't your boss, or your parents boss (i can't guess your age given the context of your posts..).

3.)-I'm glad that family, friends, and job come first to you. Family, friends, and my career come first to me as well and always have. At the end of your post your suggesting all fans of the window system are sacrificing their friends, family relationships, and/or professional life because we camped a mob?? What about ppl who spend hrs on end gathering? Crafting? Solo questing? Leveling?.. So I guess anyone who spends more than an hour or two at a time playing ARR must not have their priorities straight?
1.) "Meant to be fun and entertaining, and not to replace real life (merely provide a temporary escape)." Is what I said...are you telling me games are NOT made to be fun and entertaining? Really? Do tell me then, WHY are games made? (I NEVER gave a definition of what fun and entertaining are...simply that it is meant for recreation.)

2.) Not all the time. Are you really that naive? Not heard the stories of people throwing their life away in games? If you haven't, then there is no getting through to you on this aspect. Your real life should not be molded around a fictional reality, is the point I am trying to make, please understand that before you go and attack me for the statement.

3.) It seems common for people to put words in others mouths. My statement was generalizing to these people:

Because as I said in my first post, and have restated a different way here, your real life should not be molded around a fictional world. So I am not saying ALL fans of a window system are sacrificing their life? Just those that ARE sacrificing their life because of a window system. See the difference now? (I hope so, because I am not trying to start an argument or be confrontational about it.) I don't need to answer the latter question in three, because with my correction to the first statement just now, the latter is rendered mute.
