Know Yourself

In the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, in ancient Greece, was inscribed a command, “Know Yourself.” The login screen for WoW could rightly have the same inscription. I have learned a lot about myself while playing this game.

1. I will do repetitive, mind numbing tasks for the right reward.
2. I prefer to lead, unless I trust the leader.
3. I am a good leader.
4. I prefer small groups of people over large groups.
5. I cannot ignore perceived injustice.
6. I value knowledge and ability equally.
7. I value loyalty over knowledge and ability.
8. I enjoy teaching, as long as the pupil is trying to learn.
9. I have no patience for those who will not attempt to improve.
10. I have no patience for immaturity.
11. I have no patience for stupidity.
12. I have no patience for drama.
13. I have no patience.
14. The journey is more important then the destination.

What have you learned about yourself while playing video games or MMORPGs?

I've personally learned alot about people from this game.

The game really brings out the best and worst in people because they have no accountability, responsibility or loyalty to anyone or anything.

IMHO, Seeking like-mindedness within game is one of WoWs great searches.
