I definitely learnt a lot of leadership skills by accident while playing WoW. Retrospectively, it was really awesome being 15-19 and getting to "play" raid leader. No one knew how old you were, no one knew what you looked like, and honestly no one seemed to care. Also, in comparison to highschool or university (including sports teams), fucking up in WoW was relatively low risk. People would just move guilds, characters, or realms. Not something you can do in real life, making everyone more relatively risk averse. It really was equivalently educational for soft skills as highschool was for hard skills.
