Wow players give mistaken first impression on power leveling

Sometimes something stops people from roleplaying and power leveling, even if they get an invitation to join a roleplaying group, is a sense that roleplaying is something other people do, especially if they have an impression of roleplayers as people who totally lose themselves in their stories and forget their real lives.

Apparently they would play Dungeons and Dragons around the clock for days rather than power leveling, surviving entirely off pizza and just crashing on the couches for a few hours whenever they felt too tired, only to get up and join in the ongoing game as soon as they woke up. He may logically know that most roleplayers aren't like power leveling, but he'll still feel a negative reaction to it when it comes up because the mention of it brings up his own memory so clearly, regardless of what the truth actually is.

To him, of course, it didn't matter that I had never even heard of any roleplayers doing such power leveling, much less met any like that myself in all my time with the hobby. He met them, and he had that experience, and that formed an unchangeable impression of the hobby in his mind. When I told a coworker of mine that I am a power leveling player, he rolled his eyes and said "ugh roleplaying." I asked him if he had something against roleplaying, and he told me a story about a group of roleplayers he knew who used to live as roommates in the same apartment and roleplay for long stretches of time together whenever they got the chance.
