The “main game”

My main is my Paladin. It has been for the longest time. Except that for a while it was my Warlock. I enjoy playing my main a whole lot, but it’s at a point where Trakand can’t do anything without 4, 9 or 24 other people to help achieve it. Otherwise the achievement is less meaningful. Same with Poisonberry. Sure I can do dailies or mote farm, and I do both of these things when not alt-ing it up, but neither feels like the meat of the game. When your main gets to raids and heroics, the rest of the game feels like time spent supporting these activities. I do enjoy raiding, I love it in fact. I suck at PVP and hate Arenas with a passion (I did enough to get the Altette her S3 Hunter axe then quit), but the PVE game, that I can’t get enough of. And people tell me I’m at least not dreadful at it…

…but I love levelling too.

I like the ability to solo content that has meaning, or to duo it with my beloved, and to see my character progress by a number ticking up. I enjoy seeing the same problems as last time, but having to come up with new solutions for a new class… That’s why I’m an altaholic I think, because doing the same content again from another perspective feels fresh and fun to me, as fresh and fun as the first day I logged in in 2004.

So the “main game”, which is to say the game I play with my main is one I enjoy. But it’s also nice to try the view from the cheap seats from time to time. After all killing kobolds never gets old.
