I saw a comparison to smoking and lung cancer, but an addicting habit that kills thousands of people a day isn't exactly on par with WoW. I think they managed a good 4 or 5 asian players who died due to malnutrition and starvation playing like 3 days straight or something.  Not having any reason to believe what the OP said is correct, i'm having a difficult time being insulted. I'd compare it to a blind fellow insulting my outfit.  I've met alot of WoW players who I've seen take something from the game and create something of their own out of it. Stories, artwork, signatures, I myself have been inspired for adventure ideas by something in WoW that sparked my *gasp* imagination!  I've also met dumb, dumb, I mean really dumb WoW players. (Mostly in a battleground) Who, if imagination walked up and hit them in the face with a tack hammer, its a wasted effort. Here's the twist, you could put these people in any imagination cultivating situation, and they wouldn't get a single iota (such a cool word) of creativity from it. I've also met really really dumb roleplayers, this will hurt people feelings i'm sure, but I really I can't stand the munchkin who is simply a ball of stats and dice rolls without any character story, personality, motivation, and so on. I don't think that person has any imagination at all. They are just playing a boardgame most efficiently, story doesn't matter to them.  But "death of the imagination"? My imagination was originally sparked by GI Joe, He-Man, D&D (started playing when I was 5) reading books, and cinema. Are you trying to tell me through my actions now that the endless fount of creativity pouring out of my brain all day will just die because I play a video game?  So, all in all, wasted post. You show no reason to support that WoW does anythign to the imagination, I've clearly seen several cases it improves it, and I don't believe imagination is capable of dying to begin with. And i'm not insulted that you said that about the game or the players or whatever, again, blind man telling me I painted my bedroom the wrong color.</blockquote>
