Peaceful World of Warcraft Player Hits Max Level Without Kills
- Thread starter Tom Goldman

Blizzard should make a new NPC and name it and have it look similar to her character and have it give an insanely loooonnnnggggg gathering quest with the end result of the quest a magic shovel or something named "Everbloom's shovel of digging" or whatever as recognition of that feat. also just stop charging her a subscription fee for doing something that awesome.
I saw this back on the WoW Forums a few days ago.
Very impressive from any standpoint. Just goes to show how dedicated some players can be.
Good work!!

Dedication, compulsion, vocation, life's calling, whatever it was this is both impressive and worrying at the same time.
People talking about her "beating" WoW by getting to max level with no kills are sorely mistaken. Leveling is a tiny part of the experience, and the vast majority of the game exists in raids. It is certainly impressive, but entirely trivial because there is no way to proceed from there without killing anything.
Holy crap, I didn't think it was possible. It makes me feel bad for not being able to walk twenty feet in WoW without thinking "Bored now, gonna punch a face". At the same time, it makes me feel better about what I've done with my life so far.
This is a rare example of "because I can" being a good and non-dickish answer to "why would you do that?".
Hats off to 'em. I wouldn't mind trying something like that myself - I've never been a 'MUST KILL EVERYTHING IN SIGHT' sort of gamer, always preferred getting caught up in random distractions like that.

Why? The last thing that kept me playing WOW was exploring the world.Klitch said:
But after a while i realized that anyone can and will foce you to use the awfull, repetetive and boring (in my oppinion of course) battle system, and so i finally quit it.
People do this all the time.
Just get to level 15 through professions and exploring then Queue as a healer until level 85.
In my book healing allies while they kill enemies isn't killing enemies

So, to do this, did s/he start from day one when WoW came out? That seems about the right timeframe for that kind of progression. S/he didn't even get rested experience cred from that, as that only occurs from kills. And only one quest?
Bat Shit Insane.

I find all achievements to be pretty sad. It's as if people think that by accomplishing something in a game they can validate the time they put into it. To think that this girl/guy spent seven years working towards something that will give her/him a few days of internet fame makes me feel bad.felixader said:
I realize that the internet fame wasn't the actual goal and we can only speculate as to why this person decided to invest an ungodly amount of time (and money) playing a game contrary to the way the developers intended (I don't think you can argue that). Regardless of how sad this makes me, it's still very impressive and I think it's cool that someone actually did this. I just don't believe that the emotional or mental payoff from reaching that milestone can possibly be worth the investment.
