Well I’m clarifying. Poor word choice on my part, sure. But if you think you’ll be sent to jail over it, you have bigger concerns. Contextual references can be drawn that I was talking about being banned, considering I linked the ToS portion with all the exact wording.
…I used to think that when people were Rank 14 they were “good” pvpers.
Then you see a naked Rogue killed Rank 14s left and right…ugh.
(World of Roguecraft, even if I think this guy was whining via video, he was a very good rogue that knew how to abuse rogue abilities and I dare say the best rogue that ever played WoW.)
When I found out that it was just, “Who had more time to sit and do nothing but play WoW all day.”
Your best bet in general is just to fake your death so you don’t have to pay Child Support and officially plan the rest of your days in an internet cafe.
This part somewhat makes the post sound troll-ish.
I’d compare this to the following statement, “I’m super interested in getting an Olympic gold medal, do you think it will be possible?”
Although, I think that age and genetics may play a larger role in the ability to achieve a gold medal, as well as requiring a much longer period of sustained effort, the idea of putting other things aside to focus on a single goal remains.
The goal of Rank 14 is serious enough that it should require being a singular focus, and not something like a bee mount, which anybody can get with very little effort or sacrifice to other things.
OP, as a newish dad with a 15 month old, your wow time will be cut down considerably.
Rank 14 without account sharing isn’t possible, unless like the others have said you plan to get divorced and win the worst dad of the year award.
You can still play a lot, but not the amount of time you’d need for rank 14. Most people play at least 15 hours a day to achieve rank 14, it’s crazy. Some have admitted to account sharing to achieve it.
Go for rank 10, be a good dad and husband, wow isn’t worth it.
I’ve got a 3 year old, and no way will I be able to do the rank 14 grind, and thats ok. When my son was born, it was around the time Legion had come out. I had gotten into mythics right away with my buds, but still getting into the rhythm of being a new dad. I had to quit playing because my son needed a lot of attention, and I couldn’t put that burden all on my wife. I ended up coming back like a year later after he had turned 1, but the play time was never the same. It’ll get easier as they get older and more independent, but I’d say give your family the attention they deserve first. I’m playing Classic extremely casual. Between my family time, work time, and life outside the house, that’s all I can do really, but I’m fine with that.
He got me, but still, quite a bit of good advice in this thread for real parents that are having their first child. Family comes first. They don’t stay little forever, and if it were me, I’d regret very much not spending time with my child, because one day they won’t wanna hang out anymore or think you’re the greatest.
