Screenshots are less thrilling, videos are better

Screenshoylts were made all the time but its not the same as making videos. Why dont we adapt to making videos of raids or something? Its more interesting and faster. It can also ptomote the game by spreading news about the game.

A picture is worth a thousand words. A thousand pictures is boring.

Cause taking videos can slow down computer, cause a crash and kill you. Whenever I raid/kill/whatever pictures are taken of the after math or of points where I am in no danger, at the boring points. I'm not going to risk my characters life so you can watch a video of it.

Videos are only better when you add really loud and terrible music.

Ryes reason is logical enough. I was just wondering why there was less vids in my opinion videos are better in some cases.

Videos are dumb because they rarely show as much detail and they take 5 times as long to look at and are rarely worth the wait. I do enjoy pictures though.
