I’ll never understand why stopping to drink is such a problem for people. What is with this lack of patience in life? Drinking takes mere seconds. Just relax.

Why on earth would you need that much? No one is making you buy water once a week.

I’d be willing to bet you could modify what you’re doing to save on mana.

Doing nothing is good gameplay. Clearly.

Drinking in game encourages you to stay hydrated IRL.

When you drink in game, take a sip of water.

Well, you should go pee regularly, it’s good for your body. And I’m not saying to chug water, just a sip.

Drinking becomes a chore when healing players that wake way too much avoidable damage and then expect their healers to jump up mid-drink as they race around pulling every mob in sight.

Just let them die, then leave group and ignore them you won’t regret it.

it is a little better, but still part of the game. If you want mana management almost gone from the game you gotta wait for WOTLK or expansions after that.

rofl once a week. Sure sure.

Dude, if you need to carry 164 bottles then you’re doing something wrong.

It seems counter-intuitive but doing very little, or even nothing, in a game can be good design if done right.

Pacing is important to gameplay. If you have all action all the time it becomes mundane and boring. The moments of downtime make the moments of action more exciting. It gives the player a moment to breathe and lets them plan their next moves.

The reverse is also true. Obviously you can’t have gameplay that consists of never having anything to do.

Granted I’m not saying drinking in WoW accomplishes all of this perfectly, but the idea of downtime in video games can actually be good design.

I’ve had more than that, just chain pulling sipping, and grinding for 15 hours…
