So Ive been in a very healthy relationship for almost 2 years now but when my gf and i first met, she told me she had never played video games in her life, except Mario cart. i thought to myself, well lets change that. i bought her a wow account and she was more than willing to give it a try. we played for a while, leveled to about 60, i got her a boost and we milled around at 90 for a while, did a couple raids with the guild but being the end of the expac, there isn't really a lot to do. so she stopped playing while i continued to log in to raid with my guild. i started botting, just doing some basic farming, making a little gold and having fun with the whole experience eventually running high end combat routines to run my dps rotations for me in raid while i moved the character. One day i realized that, "hey, this is so easy i bet my gf could do this and enjoy it." so we fired it up on her character and boy was there a difference. instead of focusing on what buttons to push and dieing because she wasn't checking to see what she was standing in, she was focusing on targeting and standing in the right spot while she was doing top notch dps. this even works when we level characters, we can glide through quests and it feels like I'm playing with a pro.
I am interested in doing the same thing. But I don't know how to introduce the game to others in a way that they won't quit the first day, because that happened before and largely my fault for making them choose a gnome. I think if the character is something they like or personalize with, they will stick with it longer Anyways, nice success story. I really want others to play with me who currently don't know much about gaming
