Since, from what I have been told, most people like to become someone else when they have the luxury of re-inventing themselves through a virtual, online persona. Fer might have hit it pretty accurately. Perhaps Player A does not feel the need to re-invent his/herself online since he/she has a) experience of re-inventing themself in the Real World TM or b) is completely attached to the self-identity arrived at after many (many) years in the Real World TM.

But, as Fer said: it's easier to complain! “Pesimist complains about the wind,
Optimist hopes it’ll change,
Realist fits (moves) the sail”

It’s easy (more to say than to put in practise): try to make the best with your habilities, try to get maximun profit, and don’t lose time with complains.

But, as Fer said: it’s easier to complain!

I think in real life most of people want to be different than what they have become. I reckon that its based on the fact that we don't actually know how to be happy. In the deepest part of my heart I believe that, only by accepting the fact that, who we are now, is just an small part of something really enormous and trascendent, we can be really happy. Nevertheless, I guess its easier to complain than to be happy with what we have, isn't it? ;-) I really like this post.
