You just don't get it. I don't expect you to, few people ever see it the way they are suppose to. But those who do are the people who then suddenly understand where I'm coming from, and usually go off and put their own spin on it and make their own clans and builds using their own ideas.
You and Seventh are the type that is better suited to consuming and viewing more uh, mainstream media, rather than creating or engaging in the kind of things on my wavelength. The kind of people who don't get past the logic "this is a game" or "this is the internet" and end up boxed in that silly nugget of thought. Then again, who knows, maybe one day it'll click and you'll finally get it.
I think I'm more lukewarm on that idea. I do think this is just a game. But I also think that you can do some pretty awesome things with/in it. Which is why I play it. I always thought that maybe you play as if it's a business, because in some ways that'll make you a better player. But I also think- "what will this game, and what I do in it, matter 5 to 10 years from now?" And I'd answer that with, "it wouldn't." So I'm not going to let myself spend more time or effort in this game then I should, when I have a real life that'll matter in the long run to live.
I don't consider myself one who "consumes/views mainstream media" more then anything. I like this kind of game because I
can create and engage. Not because I can view other people who do so. But I think one reason I don't take this game that seriously, is because one of the only reasons I play, is for fun, and to exercise my own creativity.
