Timesink or not, please note that I have posted the effects on my own creativity before, during, and after. They were *real* effects on my imagination no matter what the driving force in the game may have been, time waster or not. This is something that cannot be argued with me I'm afraid. It was a first hand account, it happened in my case, end of story.

I think our disagreement is mostly semantic anyway, and while I love to argue semantics, I think we're both basically saying "Playing warcraft too much takes away from time and effort you could be using to do something else entirely," just in different ways.
And it does have a social force pulling you to play more and more. I find myself being roped into tanking kara every time I log on, even though I just want to do my exceptionally boring reputation grind for my pretty pretty dragon mount.
I think it's just I don't find Warcraft any more or less imagination-killing than spending the day watching a Torchwood marathon to ogle John Barrowman and Eve Miles or reading that Twilight book my girlfriend is always talking about. Actually, WoW might actually be more creatively stimulating than that last one, and it's far less likely to be the cause of my girlfriend one day dragging me to some creepy VtM LARP. Think having dreams about playing WoW is bad? I have nightmares about VtM.
