Its what is associated with when people think "nerd".
I think that is why, people are dumb and they hold onto that, WoW is trendy and new and so its okay for people to play it and not fall under the nerd banner.
I am not saying you are a nerd, I think its awesome that you play it. But this seems to be the way people think about it.

I agree and I think that my generation (I'm 20) needs constant stimulation to enjoy things for the most part. Dungeons and Dragons is tideous, they want instant gratification.
And, it's fine if someone calls me a nerd, geek, dork, etc. Because I know I am one. But I don't think it's right that they say D&D is dumb, or that I'm stupid for playing it, because essentially, they're doing the same thing as I am.

Very true! Luckily, my boyfriend is an amazing DM. He's been playing forever.

RIP Mr. Gygax. My DM gave our members +1 to our AC in his memory. Which is fucking sweet, being a monk at the moment.
