Sometimes MMOs are fucking great actually.

#world of warcraft #video james #context: [What A Long Strange Trip It's Been] is a meta achievement #that requires you to complete MULTIPLE achievements for each major holiday #so it takes a year to get in itself #but usually much longer than a year BECAUSE of this [School of Hard Knocks] achievement #which occurs during Children's Week #(other holidays are multiple weeks long btw this one is a week) #and requires you to take the orphan you're babysitting into four different PVP battlegrounds #and achieve an objective in each of these battlegrounds #like capture the flag or defend a point... that sort of thing #WHILE everyone else is also trying to complete that objective so they can get the achievement #and while the other team is trying to murder you bc it's PVP of course they are #so one week a year many people are doing battlegrounds while not actively trying to win the battle? #bc their major goal is to get that damn achievement #many of these people don't even pvp the rest of the year they're just going for this achievement #no person in their right mind would go into a bg during Children's Week looking for a normal bg experience #but EVERY TIME there's at least one person in a battleground shrieking about how their team isn't playing to win #they could literally take one week off playing battlegrounds and never have to deal with this #but no #they actively choose to enter battlegrounds and allow this to somehow ruin their day I GUESS #...anyway I'm delighted that I pulled off this achievement after four years in WoW #AND managed to absolutely enrage one of those people at the same time #it would have been satisfying anyway but my god this elevated it to a whole other level
