i am pretty good at turning off my brain and running the msq through or to the point i wanna stop at for the time being. so yeah, another alt-aholic here too.
rp, presence on non-main dc, pvp, raid - my reasons for making alts is pretty varied, but i enjoy it.

i probably wont start skipping quests just because i can because there is so much money and exp in those, but for alts' sake for people who would prefer it i see no reason not to give the option.
