[QUOTE="Old Gumphrey, post: 2947607, member: 12872"] This was already addressed but I have to chime in here: games are not people. You don't have to give them a fair shot in order to understand them. It's apparent from the get-go that WoW is a heavy addiction. It is an endless treadmill of collecting items and money to get higher levels and evetually better and better gear. Maybe some people find it to be amazing fun--that doesn't mean other people won't loathe it. Comparing someone to a racist because they don't like your game is just appalling. You speak about regretting the time spent not playing the game? I regret every second I did spend playing the game. So many endless hours of grinding and questing and raiding and PVPing...if I had kept up with my weightlifting instead I would be ungodly strong right now instead of average. There are so many more beneficial things you can do instead of play this game. These types of games are deadly. So kudos to anyone who can see the game for what it really is and avoid it entirely. In fact, I've noticed that it's much like any other addiction: people get others to play in order to feel better about themselves. After all, if everyone else is doing it, it's not bad. Right?
