Im having more fun than I ever had in an mmo

It was Friday and I put my car in the shop all day yesterday. So I had the entire day to my self, just me and World of Warcraft.
I started yesterday morning at level 10 and now I'm almost level 16. But lets back up a little to the very beginning. I decided to play my favorite, a Rogue. Like all classes life at lower levels is hard. Stealth is worthless, your always out of energy for your abilities and you have the feeling of being gimped. But you have to remember Priest and Mages are lacking mana and Hunters don't have a pet yet, so this lowers the pain. But still you don't have any money or bag space that leaves you needy. This feeling of needy keeps you playing.
I spent my earlier levels on the island of Teldrassil. The server is packed solid, in fact more so than any other version. I'm not sure how their doing it but they are, and I love it. Anyway, I love this forest island most likely because of the feeling of serenity and soft music, yet danger. For me its the hardest and most dangerous starting area in the game. I made my first friend here on this island, a level 7 Priest. We have a common bond already because we played together twice in Ban'elthil Hollow, a tuff little non-instance cave just north of Dolanaar. I think will remain friends for a long time since we've been clicking with our play times.
Since then I decided to stay on the island until level 12 for two reasons. First, I know how harsh Darkshore can be if rushed to it, and second because I needed my skinning and herbalism to 50. Yes, I took two harvestings to sell the materials to achieve 90 gold by level 40. This in it self will be a major goal. It's how I play the game and it seems to work for me. First Aid was a hard decision because I could make a lot of gold with the linen and wool, but playing a non healing dps classes in a tuff environment, I feel I have no choice and I'm too impatient to sit there and eat.
At level 12, now on the main land of Darkshore two quest seem to stand out. First is Ameth Aran, I love this ghostly area. But the second seems to be something surprisingly different from all the other versions of WoW I've played, and that's a quest to kill Ferblogs in an encampment just south of town. Upon arrival I found the area packed with players and all the Ferblogs dead, I couldn't get a single shot in. My thoughts at first was " this sucks ". But soon this negative turned to a positive when I got a quick invite to a group of five, and working together made for a fast kill rate that turned enjoyable......This is how World of Warcraft was always meant to be played, it's how every quest is to be done from here on out !!!!.....I could easily make more friends in encounters like this. And I count on making a lot of friends because soon I'll be running dungeons and I find nothing more enjoyable than working with friends 
Around level 14, I finally made the " run ". You probably remember the journey from Math Harbor to Ironforge, well I call it the " run ". In both Ironforge and taking the Tram to Stormwind, I did a little business in both cities then off to Westfall. Here in Westfall it was extremely crowded, but this was a positive with my new style of quest grouping. It turned out to be truly nice, as I grouped my way to almost level 16. And this is where I sit.
This morning and afternoon I have a lot of things to do. But this evening my goal in World of Warcraft is to slow down and make friends and join a Guild. People are extremely friendly, you just have to slow down and take some time to get to know them. They are definitely willing so it's up to me. As far as a Guild, this too will take some time. I'll spend some time in Stormwind and Ironforge reading chat and observing guild name plates before I take the plunge............This is World of Warcraft, the adventure is just beginning !!!

If anybody asked me for a serious MMO to play and spend time in, I would still suggest WoW first before anything else.
Those were good times for sure, but still leads to an endgame style I don't care for.
If only they had created FFA ruleset servers.

I disagree on the FUN value,because all you are doing is running around doing linear quests,a thousand games in the market are doing the exact same thing.Then when i see the same proximity aggro on every mob,i think AMATEUR game designer.
Really all Wow is a copy of Asian rpg's so unless we are calling 99% of the genre fun doing the identical exact same thing,then we have a problem.
Just imagine if every car manufacturer just made the same car,changed the color and name of it,life would be pretty darn boring.Everyone wore the same pants,the same shoes all just different color different name,yep sounds like fun to me.
As to the movie,i think it looks great,i will be watching it,definitely not a Blizzard product only a Blizzard copyright title.If Blizzard was making the movie ,it would be lol bad.luckily Legend Entertainment is a pretty good business.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
My original comment was distaste for the art style. I said hopefully the minecraft generation embraces innovated games and their love for building stuff. Not being held hand and showing a movie like WoW does. I play a game that requires me to think for myself and devote dedication to solve its problems. You will find more 30+ year olds in that game than anywhere else in the internet. Its near 17 years old and it should be the ONLY game 30 year olds play. I just went ham on a warcraft forum. Just to show people what society used to do before all this "progress". If i reached one person in my tirade its all worth it. The game im talking about is Everquest btw.
In either case, it's irrelevant. I just wanted to know more about your stance, and now I do. Enjoy your self-righteous angst.
Yes, I do think you're wrong. I still respect that you believe otherwise. That's the beauty of not being stressed or angry at anything. Life is a highway. I want to ride it all night long.

Let me know when the apocalypse starts. I'll start worrying then.
Those are either the above average or below average people that are playing.

"Average people dont play games" this is perhaps an indication of a very under-researched viewpoint, which explains why you are trying to debate with us rather than your "Ivy league potential" family.
You really should open your mind a bit, attitudes such as yours are very restrictive to your growth as a person.
As for the Kids in the 70s wouldnt have let wow be a success, are you kidding me, if the tech had been there then it would have been just as successful. The difference is, back then gaming was niche, now its mainstream, get over it.
I dont play wow any more, I used to enjoy it, now I dont, but that doesn't mean I am "mature" or "cool" it just means my tastes no longer align with the product they offer.
Anyway, clearly you are just trolling at this point, or have some serious issues you need to work out in a more professional environment than a forum dedicated to MMO's
Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
Question, have you played WoW before or is this your first toon?
I played almost every non-F2P mmo there is. Been playing Vanilla WoW on and off since 2004.
