It's different for everyone. Personally, I would find a life dedicated to my own comfort unsatisfying. I think that satisfaction comes from sacrificing for someone or something you care about more than yourself. Having kids isn't the only way to do that, but it's the most popular.

I knew being a healer would pay off

I don't think that's a very unpopular opinion, I think as a general rule people usually get more satisfaction from helping others rather than helping themselves.

I wish I could not play a healer in an MMO, just once.

I level a DPS, regret it by the time I'm about to hit max level and get yelled at by people for not playing a healer because we need a healer for dungeons pretty much every new MMO since ... Warhammer?

Tanks are the popular kids
Healers are the hot chicks who hang out with tanks
DPS is everyone else

I pull because I can't sit still. And also, I love training people to death.

Is pulling/training still a thing in post-EQ MMOs? I think I'm obsolete.

I think you're using a stereotype common to many people and are only cognizant of its presence in women. I'd argue that men are more likely to keep their association with their mothers in a negative way than women. Or maybe it's just more noticeable to me because men being mommy's boys is a problem for a lot of women, where as women 'hiding under their mom's skirts' I think is more acceptable to men, because we don't view it as direct competition.

I would agree with that, plus the cross gender situation there. Most men are not seeking to emulate their mothers, for one example, while women generally are getting their home making traits from their mothers. The amount of antipathy men and women feel towards the mother in law seems to be pretty even, though, for sure.

I have known a few moma's boys over the years and I will say that the communication tends to come from one direction. That is to say, the mom is all clingy and the dude only initiates communications when he wants to pit his mom against his wife to win some argument he is having. That is a bitch move and rightly looked down upon, which matches what you are saying here. Where as the wife bitching about stupid shit to their mom on a daily basis is a lot more like the guys going to the bar after work and blowing off steam, so its not such a big deal. Moma's boys are the male equivalent of Daddy's little Princess, imo.

I don't think so -- at least complex pulling mechanics are gone in WoW. They somewhat existed in Molten Core but even then it was more like make sure not to pull the pat with the pack. I don't think WoW or any other MMO allows you to split packs with FD or anything.

There were bugs in WoW in some dungeons for quite a while that still allowed weird shit like that happening, but it for sure wasn't an intended mechanic.

I started as the rogue applying Barman shanker to CC targets and eventually upgraded to the priest putting SW:p on sheep.

Your guild must have sucked because Barman would push off more important debuffs! Your casual ass would be booted.
