PLAYERS SURVIVAL GUIDE TO ENJOY YOUR MMO EXPERIENCE
WITHOUT LOSING YOUR SANITY Part -2-
6. Giving up on what you have held for so long
Everyone is searching for the quick fix these days, no one seem to discover a challenge and maintain to keep up with it. One or five or 20 failures aint that big of a deal in the long run. You have to fail to get good at something and to grow. Only great achievers try and try until they reach what they strived to obtain.
When I used to play Super Mario and I was really new to games like that, I remember repeating some of the hard levels over 25 times, and nothing really felt more pleasant than beating the boss or going to the next level.
Easy things has momentarily taste, and doesn#DY#t remain, when you strive hard for something and you reach it, it will not be easy to let go of it. Believe me I wouldn#DY#t say this few months back. Just like the player who work hard to gather 500k to buy that armour for his level 60 to be stronger and powerful, will it be easy to just sell it off for 100k?
I also noticed some players judge games very quickly , without studying the game environment, the surrounding, nature of players around him, higher levels, he just try 2-5 levels then quit, saying: Nah, not my type, or XYZ game is better ..etc
Some players manage to put a lot of time and effort, patience, to reach a certain level and then give up and leave the game, if you ask them why? They will say because the game is hard to level after 60, or I am fed up, or I found another.
Be persistent. In time the opposition around you will fade and fall away. And your inner resistance and self-sabotaging tendencies that want to hold you back and keep you like you have always been will grow weaker.
7. Thinking you already know everything
Never assume you know everything in the game because you have reached a high level. This is a big problem and can halt the growth for a very long time. if something is worth doing, it#DY#s worth doing well." The good things in life generally take work. If a great life is what we all want, we should welcome the challenge, and one of the challenges in this life is to maintain seeking knowledge and being humble. The moment you think you know everything is the moment you actually know nothing.
It#DY#s the mindset that says: "I know how the world works. I don#DY#t need that snake-oil item mall to improve my gear. They have nothing new to offer. Only desperate people need those books to get their life together. It#DY#s just common sense." This attitude and close-mindedness will make it very difficult for you to grow.
