So when the fat kid turns up to your college team team and says: "Hey I want to be on the varsity team, I pay the same school fees as everyone else why ahouldnt I be allowed ?" What are you gonna do ?
Will you tell the rest of your team "Hey he isnt lazy, he just has a hard time running around, and yeah he may not play too well, but man, has anyone ever tried teaching him? Sure he never trains, and he only started playing a month ago, and I know he never even watches games, but you know thats hard work and he has a short attention span and is allergic to putting any effort in. Despite all that I really think we should appeal to the sports governing body because, damnnit, the rules need to change so that this guy can get on our varisty team and have that experience."
This isnt basic education, people do not have any right to be good or to get rewards from WoW just because they bought the game and logged on; they have to work at improving and earning those rewards, even leveling takes some effort from the player. Further, developement resources are finite, what you spend building quests for speical people, you take from something worthwhile.
The correct analogy for WoW is not school, it is sport. Its an optional, team activity where you get out what you put in. Sure you might be naturally talented, or perhaps youwill never get past an amateur level because you dont have the time to train 5 times a week, but the sport owes you nothing and the rules wont change so you can play in the professional leagues because you think that paying your league membership each year gives you the right to have that experience.
