Re: 28, 34.

[sincere]

That's exactly what I'm saying -- if you don't know how to employ moderation, then that's your problem. WoW may make it a little easier than, say, dairy products (you know there's someone out there with an unhealthy addiction/fetish for dairy products) but this applies to everything in life. If you can't control yourself, that's a problem, but WoW doesn't whisper in your ear at night that you should divorce your wife or drop out of school. If you do that, you are the problem.

I played WoW almost every day for months; I was in a raiding guild and never missed a raid. But I also graduated from college magna cum laude as a double major, and I went on to go to graduate school full time while holding down a part-time job, all while playing WoW. I never got in trouble academically, professionally, or socially. And I am not a person who has a lot of will-power! But I know how to, you know, balance my life.

Granted, it helps if your friends aren't shrieking about your addiction whenever you hang out with them. I can see how that might result in some of your relationships failing. :P

I think orc guys are so incredibly cute. XD "Lady, since the first time I saw you, I... honestly did not think I would get this far."

Precisely! It's not the game's fault if you can't control yourself.

I know for a while my spouse was showing signs of getting addicted, but you know what I did? OMG I talked to him! I told him my concerns, but I wasn't freaking out at him about it. Yeah, he got defensive at first, but he understood why I was worried, and now he's way better at moderating his game time. Now we're all happy!

Blaming the game is the easy way out. I bet 20 years ago people were saying the same thing about Mario Bros, and Tetris being addictive. Different time, different scapegoat.

They ARE! Orcs are so unappreciated =(
