Why are european foreigners better at WoW than americans?

:thinking: Do other countries use the metric system for abilities? If not, is there an addon to do the conversion? I suppose it doesn’t really matter, I never need to know the actual distance of an ability just “max range” “melee range” “30 yards so you’ll still perceive it as max range” and “kinda close (15 yards)”.

Excuse me but here in England we do not use metric measurements. The metric system may be ‘officially’ adopted in things like science but that means nothing. Even on road signs it will state distances in miles, not in kilometres.

Speak to anyone in the street and they will answer in miles, feet, inches, pounds, ounces


The ‘top’ WoW players are mostly localised to Scandinavian regions, or ones close to it. Europe isn’t even a good enough generalisation.

I’d just say for some reason or another a culture of extreme gameplay for this particular title evolved in particular regions. I don’t think my country is any different from the USA, neither is France or Germany.

And we get 4 weeks vacation a year. Usually taken in july. Upside, vacation!

Downside, ENTIRE COUNTRY SHUTS DOWN HOPE YOU DON’T GET SICK LOLS.

Found out Rextroy was Swedish. Giggled a little bit.

How do Americans measure DPS without the metric system?

Does 1.6k EU DPS = 1k DPS in America?

oooft that was a good one haha

Us Australians don’t have room to poke fun though.

We’re the reason why there has to be a stat squish every other expansion, else the size of Rogue knives would start getting out of hand.

And we don’t have frogs over here, we’ve got chazwozzes instead.

OK that’s good.

We measure it in freedom per second. 1 fps is equal to 1776 dps.

I will never give up the opportunity to quote that episode of the Simpsons.

Doing so is a bootable offense.

It’s called footicosahedron.

Kids take time. Time away from gaming. That would be the association that would likely produce a small correlation.

Birthrates are down in all western countries. Africa, China, India are the main growth areas.

Religious groups tend to have more children as well. My aunt(Latina Catholic) was a member of a 6 kid household. I knew Hispanic Catholic families in California that were 12 strong. Muslims tend to have larger families as well.

It’s just how things are. Kids take time and money. Time and money taken away from careers as well. A lot of women particularly, do not want to give up careers to have kids.

You weren’t saying this when we flew in on Eagles and saved your butts from Sauron(hitler).

You should check your facts before saying things like this.

They also excel at triathlon, mostly due to the cycling portion taking up a significant amount of the distance and their ability to perform well on it.

They’re just really good at things that involve sitting down.
