I've been playing World of Warcraft w/ [info]komera recently. She's very kindly & patiently showing me around the game and guiding me through quests.

I haven't yet explored much of the game (I'm only level 20), but preliminarily, I think it's bad as a game alone (the quests are repetitive, there's no story or interest value, the battles are like wack-the-mole, it relies on reward mechanisms to keep people addicted, etc.), but if it's treated in a specific way -- as a tool to interact with friends -- then it becomes good, in the way that most board games are not games that would be interesting to play alone at all, but are fun ways to interact with friends.
