Which is an almost incurable mental state where the subject starts to lose their cognitive ability to evaluate opportunity cost and basic mathematical concepts like the additive stats of a guarranteed socket.
This state is worsened in due time and leads to its chronic state by causing a sense of superiority complex where the subject has to fabricate hypothetical scenarios in order for their lack of cognitive thought to make sense and avoid dementia.
This is often materialised in very similar outbursts of downplaying arguments which almost predominantly gravitate around diminishing the gains they would otherwise have, examples include:
âBy the time you craft them, you will probably have something betterâ
âWhy would I bother crafting when I can get a 455+socket+leech from a warfront titanforge?â
And so on. Hypothetical scenarios of miniscule chance are having their occurence rate multiplied in order to justify how the person is not capable of reaching the mathemarical maturity and commitment to acquire the gains of a profession craft and thus their ego has to be protected.
Submitting a thesis soon, trust me, iâm a doctor.

A fair diagnosis doctor, though I fear anyone from LFR to Heroic likely drooled on the keyboard and bled from the eyeballs trying to understand it

That paragraph put me to sleep faster than Archeology in BFA.
So you got 1 mythic kill in the current raid and you consider yourself so incredibly above LFR to HC raiders?
Thatâs gonna be a yikes from me buddy.

Doc before you submit your thesis I think you should also take into consideration âWoW fatigueâ. This state is reached when players have grown mentally tired of doing the same repetitive action to achieve a certain goal within the game for example âPath Finder 2â or âExalted reputation with the faction of who caresâ. After performing so many mind numbing quests to obtain the achievement they are just to mentally exhausted to care about anything that requires any sort of effort in-game. They would rather do something they enjoy than to crafting some useless POS very few players buy in any case. Humans are inherently social creatures and would rather perform activities were they can communicate to with other players in-game. The social factor of WoW is also on the decline however because of negative social interactions (toxicity) encountered in-game leading to a decline in players engaging in in-game conversation because of a the constant fear of a toxic encounter with an @$$hole.
Have you tried taking an aspirin and just be happy for the progresses you make each day?
Itâs not my field of study, but while passing by the skinnerâs box addicts ward I heard it works wonders when it comes to playing RPGs.
Itâs OK Doc.
Youâre not using any crafted items, either.
Sometimes the Doctor needs a doctor, too.
Not everybody is interested in playing this game the way we do. You donât need to go into the street and giving random people diagnosis, okay? Theyâll be fine as long as you are.
The alchemist stone is actually best in slot, i just use way too many herbs between doing raids and M+ all the time.
Soon-ish. Its a matter of priorities. 65 neck level (and thus commiting harder to AP WQs) is more important than herbing harder.
Just wait Valkiå⌠His defense is gonna be âTHIS IS NOT MY MAIN OKAY?!? IâVE GOT MYTHIC AZSHARA SEVERAL TIMES ON MY MAIN!â

Actually I do take aspirin everyday, but for another reason and it does not seem to help.
That being said, doc you really need to work on your diagnosis skills. You should take in all the information before making a diagnosis. I was suggesting you also investigate âWoW fatigueâ due to excessive repetition as a possible reason for players displaying the symptoms of mathematical ataxia. I was not trying to troll you or make fun of your thesis, I think it may actually be interesting thesis as people behave more like themselves in-game than they do in real life. They feel they have more freedom in-game to express themselves due to a certain amount of anonymity.
The social decline of WoW could be second thesis that also apply to the real world as well. People are so scared of being heckled for saying the wrong thing that they would rather say nothing at all. Leading to a build up of frustration and anger over so called political correctness (saying what is popular, but not necessarily correct) which in turn leads to violent out breaks.
In short it is better to go to jail for beating the p1$$ out some @$$hole who annoys you than to go to jail for making a politically incorrect statement to said @sshole.
Look, you went from A to B to Z in an instant and Iâm not exactly happy about the type of derailment.
If you feel the need to make sociopolitical statements out of humorous threads trying to be sarcastic about people exaggerating the devaluation of professions and that there is some value to be had in them, then you might have some more pressing concerns to resolve than âwow fatigueâ.
Truth be told, I always preferred con-fessions over pro-fessions.

Since when?
All sims I can find of it says that it isnât.
â;âŚ;â
Nevermind me, Doc. Carry on.
EDIT: Mustâve been distracted by the fact that your helmet LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE A FRIGGINâ OWL
EDIT 2: But seriously tho there is no compelling reason to use your profession as a balance druid if it is Alchemy. I pretty much have to go JC. Pretty silly imo.
