He asked me if this was normal. I wasn't sure what to tell him, just that it's pretty popular right now. There are videos of gaming walkthroughs, raid guides, and streams of other people just playing. Many asking for you to like their videos and subscribe to their channel.

He then asked me if I watch other people play video games on the internet. Well, it sure kills time at work. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Speedruns are neat. Sometimes it's more entertaining to watch someone play a game also.

You sit there for hours and hours and hours and hours while doing nothing, or sleep but be ready to be woken up and quickly log in at any hour of the night... then you run to the encounter and over half the time you'll get nothing.

If you are lucky, you will only get interrupted while not on the game but most likely still busy and need to quickly get online and rush to an encounter where again you are not guaranteed to get anything.

You need to do this for months before you can start getting any good loot since you need this thing called DKP which is sort of like a currency for raid loot.

Want to play!?
