If I acted IRL like I did in game, I would need to punch my coworkers, professors, and classmates before they would talk to me. They would not really help me, though. The quest givers would blabber at me about a quest, have me fed-ex an object back to them, but never really know what I want.
I would basically run around mindlessly through the world, bumping into objects, have information fed to me, and move to the next task. *sigh* This has been one of those months. I cannot wait to stop and smell the Lichbloom again.
Don't stand in fires is a term used in gaming. In a general sense, it means to have situational awareness and understand your role in terms of the community. Awareness can be difficult at times, especially in a world where multi-tasking seems to be the norm.
