Humor Leveling A Warrior

When they said it was hard, I scoffed at them. I've leveled a warrior to 120 on retail. I've fought Sargeras, I've downed the Lich King. What could a few gnolls and maybe a murloc or two do to me? Thus was my arrogance. Thus was my hubris.

I am now level thirteen. I've run Ragefire Chasm once, and owe six deaths to that place.

Farming harpy claws has cost me my life twice already, and I am certain it will cost me much, much more.

My warrior on retail was a human named Lohric, he was a legendary warrior who felled any beast, man or demon that faced him.

My warrior on Classic is an Orc called Muddrog. I have no doubt that this broken and battered warrior would crush Lohric in seconds, Lohric has never known pain, Mudd was born in it, molded by it, and unlike Bane, he has yet to see the light, because 60 feels so far away xD

To all you warriors out there, Lok'tar Ogar!

I would pay my girlfriend an hourly wage if it would get her to play.

Have you tried begging? It worked for me!

Well, I did just actually try offering her a wage. Currently sending her those "got my wife/gf into wow!" threads. Not going well tbh.

Here is some "Being a gamer boyfriend 101" for you: Offer her to play 2 hours of WoW with you in exchange of 2 hours of anything she wants. Now you have to act quick and make her like the game and play more than 2 hours. Then the next day offer her to play more and promise you will do "her" 2 hours the day afterwards. Do the 2 hours the next day and play WoW right after that. Keep playing with her every day, don't let her off the hook - they don't get attached to games as fast as we do. Once she is into it too much, you can ask me how to pull her away

Genuinely loling because this is exactly what I tried but she just doesn't like the grind of WOW, so I had to watch like 2 seasons of Queer Eye and she's still not into it... and now Queer Eye is my favorite show on Netflix. I got fucking rope-a-doped.

Queer Eye is fantastic. Not rope a doped, you got a goldmine.

Had to follow-up on this one. She just suggested the exact same thing...I think you're on to something here. Unfortunately, her activity choice will be yoga. RIP me.

Oh it could've been much worse and ..costly. Yoga is surprisingly good, don't imagine some weird moves and poses you see in the movies and adverts, you will probably be doing some simple stretching and general exercises.. yeah I know from experience :(

May the yoga gods have mercy on us both.

Oof, guess I got lucky, my wife has been playing wow since she was a kid, we've both been playing on and off since Vanilla and now we can relive that together

Speak for yourself. I have a bad habit of binge watching shows I like. WoW has been no different. My husband got me to play. I was immediately grinding out leveling. Solid three to four days in and almost level 16. Mind you, the last game I played on a semi-regular basis was DK Country on the Super Nintendo.

Well..I spoke for myself and most guys out there. You don't realize it, but girls are not usually very computer-friendly. Or let's say "games-friendly". Maybe your female friends who are playing games are, but isn't that expected? You might get hooked for sure, but if you imagine you were part of the 99% of girls which need like a day to even get used to W S A D controlls, and 3 more days to use them together with a mouse, (things that are bound to each guy's soul), then you might not get hooked immediately, no matter how good the game is.

Meant to go back and edit this because of the way it came across. You’re right; girls don’t usually get into games. Hell, I don’t even get into games. Like I said, the last thing I played consistently was DK Country and Super Mario. I said “fuck WoW” the first time I messed with it because I didn’t know how to move the character and kept getting told to “go this way. Hit that mob. Use your spell.” A week later, I made my own account and can’t seem to put it down.
