i don't actually believe that conceding to people who don't have time to sit through an MMO story is the way to go because the people you're targeting by and large aren't going to develop into devout players that keep feeding you money; they're just gonna dick around a bit and dip.

That said, if there was ever an emergency where they needed to draft one of Grandpa's PhD students, Urianger would have done a great job, surprising all of his friends because he can barely feed himself.

try loving a rarepair or a genuinely obscure side character just once, it'll really give you some perspective.
