"Oh, you guys think your 4 hour attunement quest for this raid is long?  When the game launched, you had to attune by getting your key.  And that took more than your weekly Elder Gem cap.... Elder gems were a currency, don't worry about it.  And then you had to run Pyralos... no, this was back when hitting a bomb on Pyralos would actually kick you off the platform and kill you. "Then you had to grind up your faction reputation. That was a lot harder before they increased gains. And if you PVPed, you didn't GET rep, so if you leveled by PVP you had to run stuff endlessly to get your rep. Then you had to get silver on all the adventures.... no, we didn't have Vet Shiphands at launch.... yeah, you'd think they'd have been included, but they weren't. Anyway, Vet Adventures, and you had to silver in all of them. "Then you had another quest, then you had to get gold medals in all the veteran dungeons.  And this was back when you basically had to know how to bug your way through, because you were only judged by the timer.  And no one could die.  Which was an expectation, because if you didn't get a gold medal, you couldn't get the best gear rewards.  Group Finder got to be just a string of people dropping group on one death. "Oh, you think that would be annoying? World bosses. Imagine having to kill a bunch of world bosses. No, it didn't reward completion after, it didn't matter. You only ever ran world bosses for attunement at the end because they weren't worth anything otherwise. And they wouldn't be up most of the time. Complete time sink. "Then, hopefully, if you'd rolled lottery on all your gear, run enough golds, and had enough of the correct rune slots to enter GA, you could finally finish attunement and walk into GA with your 20 man raid.  Luckily, by the time you finally cleared GA, you had most of your primal patterns to get into Datascape.  Still, you had to wait for the other 20 man so you could walk in.... DS used to be a 40 man raid..... No, really, they were hearkening back to WoW's 40 man raids... YES, WOW USED TO HAVE 40 MAN RAIDS! "I swear I'm not that old!"

My dad finally broke down and bought a VCR thanks to Battlestar Galactica. No not the 2004-2009 series, the one that ran in 1978. Unfortunately it aired right around dinner time and we kept jumping up to see what was going on. Except this particular night was my Mom's birthday and well, she got pretty upset that we'd abandon her for some television show. Normally my Dad would just smack us for this but he too was sucked in... Yep, it was a different age. Heck these days I rarely watch TV at all, I just play Wildstar.
