we should give more thought to the politics of world of warcraft. a game wherein you can slaughter all of the normal or "common" enemies you like to no real effect, but the silver- and gold-colored enemies, their portraits wreathed in colors befitting their status, are where you receive the best rewards and are prioritized to eliminate. these "elites" as they are appropriately called drop the most money and valuable materials when slain, and it is only through the organization and coordinated effort can they be brought down and their possessions divvied up among the players who worked (workers).

But in both cases it is only to the financial benefit of a group which arranges the entire simulation.

also in world of warcraft nothing can truly be changed except by the will of blizzard. did you kill the boss? it will be back next week, ready to go again. so we see that wow accurately models the capitalist world, with blizzard occupying the role of the global capitalist elite, whos will is absolute and who offer up challenges and enemies to be slain by the proletariat (players [workers]) to give a false sense of accomplishment

Also in world of Warcraft there's terribly broken people who like to gently caress cartoon animals so I guess it really is like capitalism

we are currently in the phase of history between expansions, where all the new content has been exhausted and the latest patch is far behind us. the players grow turgid and engage less, and blizzard hurriedly slaps together a new set of shiny challenges and enemies (trump et al.) for us to face to keep us amused
