By that time I'll be really berserk and maniacal from reading Wikipedia for hours on end. Until then, I ask this question:
If a goal is too easy and achieving it only leads to unhappiness, while a goal that is difficult and causes you to struggle causes great happiness when achieved, which was truly the better goal for the mind, body, and spirit, each separately, and also as a whole?
You're turning a subjective question into an objective one. It may seem too easy for you, but many people don't agree. We don't all believe that it's "too easy" and "leads to unhappiness." In fact, because of BB, I'll be able to switch to my best friend's server and play with him - something I have done in almost 6 years. I'll be able to get to paladin status, something I've been coveting for a long time.
I got to the 160's with the old method, and I didn't use 2x cards or family rep. Am I happy? Do I feel like I've achieved anything? No, I'm just bored of the game and looking for something more fun to do. With BB, I can just make a new character and experience the fun all over again.

The easy path, of course, as House thrives off unhappiness.
House doesn't thrive off of unhappiness, House is afraid of being happy because it's a foreign thing to him after being in so much pain and agony because of his leg.
He's a decent human being who can be a superficial jerk at times because he's bitter. Look at his decisions instead of his words: he does everything for his patient, even if he hates them; he even puts his job in jeopardy to save some random guy off the street.
