And then they go, okay, this guy wins.

Here's the gear.

And then you're like, well, I guess I'll have to come back and do it again.

So much fun.

And then I played until Wrath of the Lich King.

And, you know, Burning Crusade, I was like, okay, you know, level cap went up and I'll play.

And it was fun to keep playing, but it was losing its spark.

And then Rathalich King was really good, and I didn't really play it too much.

I came back for Warlords of Draenor and was fairly disappointed.

And then I played Legion, and I played Legion extensively.

I unlocked Void Elves, went super nuts with it.

But I was getting pissed off because at this point, raids were, you click a button...

and it would randomly assign you to a group of people doing a dungeon and then randomly give out piece of gear to a random person.

No more human interaction.

It's one step away from you just inviting my bot to the raid and I'll just sit here while my bot plays for me.

Exactly.

What made the game work originally was that you had to work really hard to make friends.

And everybody wanted to be your friend because you had a shared mission.

I used to build guilds for that purpose.
