Well what I like about WoW is that to some extent you need people skills and social ingenuity to play at a high level. Do you do heroics? Have you made craftable bind on pickup items with b-o-p parts?

WoW has a new pay-for feature tournament realms (?) that basically give you a sandbox of gladiator gear and classes so you can show off your skills on an equal playing field without grinding for days or sharing accounts.
