ouch – break up was it?

While your statistics on how many times a week they log on may be true. It actually does not make my arguement less compelling. The game has Actually changed. and when most people are level 80 they really only NEED To login a couple of times a week.. to finish their weekly raids.. etc etc. Then i assume they call it a week and do it again next week.

The better question would be to ask any of those people. Would they quit on a dime right this very minute? or better yet. What would happen if one of their characters were deleted. I wonder how devastating it would be to that one person.

Like i said, the game has shifted in a way so that they don’t need to be online every single day. but they STILL need to give it repeat attention or else they will fall behind the rest of the wow crowd.

When asking some of my friends if they want to go out and see the new movie this friday I usually get “no i can’t i have a raid on friday”

That sir, is when there is a problem.

I won’t go into talking about who is and is not hooked on wow because there are people who develop addictions to many things, but 62% of wow subscribers login to the game 2 or fewer times each week. This seems to imply that the maximum possible number of addicts is is the 38% range which makes your argument even less compelling than it already was. I personally play about 6 hours/week, and I can say that Blizzard has done a good job of making the game enjoyable for casual players while still having enough difficult content to keep more hardcore gamers busy for hours.

EVERY one I know who plays that game is a casual player who cares about having fun first and foremost. You might ran into the hardcore addicted gamers and your opinion is based on that; fine. But don’t go around generalizing and stereotyping the millions that play it. That makes you sound very ignorant.

“Most likely if you yourself even fully support that game, then you’re brain washed yourself you just don’t even realize it” <– Thanks for your concerns, but if u don’t know me, plz don’t think for me and judge me. Again, that makes you sound very ignorant.

Just because it’s the #1 MMO does not mean it’s the best game,. or even a GOOD Game for that matter.

80% of it’s subscriber base are all Brain Washed lemmings who don’t even care about their lives, they would rather be playing Wow.

it’s a black hole time sync.

It ruins marriages and relationships, people stray away from things in their ‘Real life’

it’s a horrible game designed around a model to keep you playing MORE AND MORE AND MORE rather then focusing on having fun.

Blizzard is a really smart company. They’ve capitalized on the genius of pulling in MILLIONS of people to their Addictive design.

Most likely if you yourself even fully support that game, then you’re brain washed yourself you just don’t even realize it.

Video games are for entertainment. Nothing more.

Not work.

When you play wow? you clock in, and go to work.

Yeah… that must be why its the worlds #1 game. You are so wise.
