World of Warcraft used to just be a game to me, something to get lost in and wander around purposefully for fun, to enjoy myself. Nowadays I find myself more concerned with my or others' performance in raids, dungeons, and any facet of the game really. I'm experiencing a personally longing for the simpler days of exploration for the sake of seeing something new, not being rewarded extrinsically. Let me know if you feel the same. Take care!
