I will forever hate certain enemies in certain games. No matter how long it’s been, I still hate fighting the Circle of Thorns at low levels in City of Heroes. I will go out of my way to slaughter Goblins in Final Fantasy XI after all of the camp aggro I acquired over the years. Every so often, my main characters in World of Warcraft go into Shadow Labyrinth, kill the bosses, and then leave without looting anything, because I hate that dungeon and everything therein. You get the idea.
The obvious conclusion to be drawn from all of this is that I have severe anger management issues and some overwhelming emotional problems, which, yeah, that’s pretty accurate. But it’s also pretty accurate to say that these enemies annoyed me in such a way that I am still eager to kill them just to get my jollies. What about you? Do you have a personal vendetta against any MMO enemies? Is it something you still pursue with vigor, or just a case of preferring to fight that enemy first if you can get away with it?
