1. The reputation grind in real life is so much harder
2. Dailies don't pay as well in real life
3. Real life costs more than £10 a month, and cancelling your subscription is a bit more terminal
4. Ignore lists
5. Most MMONGs have a better economy at the moment
6. Real life invetories suck - wallet, keys and phone fill mine
7. You don't have to insure mounts (unless you play Eve)
8. Getting ganked hurts a lot more in real life
9. Real people never drop anything good when you kill them
10. In real life, killing bosses is frustratingly discouraged
