It does seem to me that our newcomer, shishikyuu, completely missed the point of the article.
I quote from the article:
"The game had become the bedrock of my pastime. I wasn't sure anymore whether I was playing out of a sense of fun or artificial necessity. Ask the alcoholic if he enjoys drinking or the smoker if his cigarettes taste good, and, if he's at that fine precipice between control and chaos, the answer is equal parts yes and no."
I do believe you, in fact, missed the point of my "rant". whether or not I'm addicted myself is not the issue, the fact hat some people
need to play 8 hours a day 7 days a week and blame the game for it is. you say it's great if you can quit the game when it stops being fun, but the article talks about "artificial necessity". that is what I'm talking about.
This man says that he now can finally spend time with his wife...what kind of man is he that he couldn't do so before? I'm saying that I play the game, and I can't imagine why someone would act that way. in fact, I don't think I've logged in more then twice this month alone. I've got other things to worry about at this time.
tl;dr => too many people who are easily addicted to anything blame wow for all their problems. that's what I'm griping about.
