It appears that raiding is the only way to have street cred in wow gold.
I have never heard so many people get pissed off than I have during raids.Knowing instances is not the same as knowing the game.Issue number 16 (who's counting?) I'm not sure how knowing less than 1% of the overall game experience translates into knowing the game, but it appears that raiding is the only way to have street cred in wow gold. I'd put my friend Loremaster Cheekymonkey up against almost anyone in a head to head game of Jeopardy on WoW knowledge. An avid adversary of raiding, he has forgotten more about WoW than most people will ever know. You would be hard pressed to say he's a noob.The sad reality for raiders wanting street cred really comes with the nerfing of the game. With the ease in which guilds are blowing through the content, can people still feel a sense of pride for beating the game? Not in its current state, maybe when Icecrown Citadel launches. Heck, I'm more impressed when my merry band of jackhole guildmates can jump on alts and clear instances while chatting on vent about how my wife ninja'd my TV (I'm not bitter). You guys can still stand in Dalaran and act all puffy if you want to though, I'm sure someone will be impressed (is that you Peacock?)Raiding Dalaran, the Toughest Raid of All.At the end of the day, it's all about what you enjoy. Some people enjoy the nano-micrometer approach of squeezing all they can out of a character class and working as an integral group to beat new encounters. Other people enjoy doing "whatever sounds fun tonight."
