Don't blow a gasket there, Jack. There is absolutly nothing wrong with women and younger people playing games...nor is ANYONE suggesting that. What david is saying, is that the secret to WoW's astronomical success is that it appeals so widely to the mainstream, to casual gamers.

Did you know that games like Peggle and Bejeweled widely outsell most console and PC games? The reason for that is because they're casual, they're easy to get into, and that means that both stay at home moms and people even older can play them at their leisure without having to worry about commitments and steep learning curves. That is also what WoW is. Simple. Now this isn't a bad thing by any means, but your example of the size of your guild and how many members are active is completely meaningless as that has absolutly NOTHING to do with what david was saying.

Casuals aren't necessarily the people that are looking to join a huge guild, and they're DEFINITLY not the people who are looking to be on and active for several hours a day, every day. The people who make up a very large portion of WoW's population, and the people who are making the game as rabid a success as it is, are the people who pay $15 a month to play for a few hours a week....which is what he said.

As far as your final comment...I think I'll take the ever changing world of keep/castle sieges that have a the always challenging human element, over the soul crushing monotany that is raiding the same scripted encounters over and over again, or wiping in the attempt. Don't knock something until you tried it, champ.

"Blowing a gasket" is writing four paragraphs about something which you obviously didn't understand. I suggest actually reading and comprehending something first before replying with a rant.

Please try again, and have a nice day. I'm off to have some fun in WAR RvR.
