your warcraft addicts are exactly correct.
I never played warcraft (or any other massively online whatchamahoozit) but I used to play old-fashioned RPGs, and if some GIT tried to go on vacation and let a pinch-hitter pro-from-Dover player run his character through the rough spots... we'd have confiscated his dice and torched his game-books.

Cool :) I mainly play singleplayer here although DFX (Delta Force Xtreme) is fun in online coops (where I usually snipe with an M82)

I play First Person Shooters myself so such a service is immaterial.
Sure you could be ranked really high, but if you suck you suck in the real world.
Being pwned in the first 30 seconds all the time would get old quick.
