Its bizarre that so many people wont allow this observation to be made. WoW was not the first of its kind, and no-one is saying it is.

...genuinely believed that that was a good idea. At the very least, I didnt really think it would hurt your job prospects to include it, barring any other experience. I expected some controversy, given the topic, but I was astounded at the response. So many people were so vehement that it was a bad idea. After reading all of peoples responses...
