When I’ve spoken to normies (people with a 9-5, mon-fri) They say being up at night is very difficult. (Talking around midnight or later) But, then the holidays arrive, or the weekend, and suddenly they have all the energy in the world and are up playing at 2 am. Why do you suddenly have this burst of energy to play during my primetime? This is supposed to be the time I get to get away from you normies so I can grind out some levels without the competition.
Normie WoW dad here. A lot of people who work in office-type environments are really slow this time of year. Slow work means I am willing to sacrifice some sleep hours to play more. Plus there’s an inherent nostalgia a lot of people feel for playing the game over the holidays. I have memories of this game going back 20 years now, many of which are right around this time of year.
Sorry for stealing your kills, young lad.

Because it’s a holiday or weekend and we don’t have to go to work the next morning?

Why does the energy suddenly appear? Not talking about the reason for being off.
Caffeine, and the prospect of sleeping in.

Doesn’t that ruin your circadian rhythm, and make you extremely tired on the first day back to work?
Maybe, but it’s short lived. Kinda like jet lag.

huh weird. I’m the type who (though I’m nocturnal) won’t stay up past 9 am, just to get a few hours of extra gaming in. When I’m tired, I go to sleep. Why is it worth the droggyness?
Personally, I’m not all that affected from losing sleep on occasion. Some folks can handle it better than others I guess?
Same reason why people keep coming back to classic even though we are at the point where we have 3 versions of it
Because its fun
If you aren’t playing 3am-7am then it is you who are the normie.

Sure, blame it on the inneciccient dads.
No, op is saying normies are keeping him from leveling because he can’t play when they’re on. Should just solo dungeons like the other mages.
People with 9-5s can get to the endgame.
Because we can sleep in and won’t have to wake up for work the next day and reap the consequences of it. Sorry you have a problem with this. It’s an mmo rpg, you’re gonna have that in every game cause most people who play this are adults with jobs. Cheers!
I work a fulltime job and my days off are Wed-Thur.
Finding a raid guild for weekend warriors has been a challenge.
I play on hardcore, Doomhowl at the moment. If the gatekeepers didn’t hold back running more than 1 per day, I would level exclusively by dungeon grinding with groups.
You know mobs respawn in dungeons, right? Just solo the dungeon and wait for respawns
Because they done need to get up in the morning. The energy is always there, but they’ve realised that staying up late and getting up early sucks so because they’re not idiots go to bed at an hour normally appropriate to their schedule.
Basic human logic.

They nerfed normal mob exp, and put it all on bosses. Also, it’s hardcore. Not worth the risk of fighting elites.
Side note. It’s MONDAY! woooooooo. I went to a spot to grind, and no one is there on layer 1. I
