I'd like to say thanks to the OP your post made me register for this site and I'll probably start posting more...Been looking for a forum to join for awhile. Unfortunatly you hit a little something in my brain that made me think "moron."
For you to even think that people that play this game or any other game are worse off then YOU is just idiotic. If they WANT to spend their lives doing these things let them! Who are you to say what they are doing is bad? Do you have something riding your consiounce(?) that makes you want to save all these people playing wow too much? I myself still have a social life but play wow a lot, and even playing wow I consider to be social because I find myself talking to people in my groups/raids/or guild chat. I don't like how you say these people have problems when they can just have differnt views then you. Not everyone has to go out and talk to people just to keep "sane." I can be totally content with just sitting in my room all day and playing a game. And if you think in return there is something wrong with my brain you my friend are inane.
I find that playing MMORPGS is a lifestyle choice like following Jesus, being a pothead, working non stop, or striving to make it big in a band. If you like it and it keeps you satisfied JUST DO IT (unless it's hurting other people!)
Originally posted by Dru998 It seems that the general consensus is that "everyone is responsible for themselves". Well mankind(most of them anyway) has been using that mentality for centuries now. You know what? Look at our society, look at the current state of the world. It is nothing to be proud of. This "every man for themselves" moto that so many live by is just plain ignorant. Some people just can't help themselves. So what of them? They are just left helpless because noone gave a sh*t about them? What has every enlightened person ever said as their message? We are one. What you do for another you do for yourself. Or the idea of Karma: the idea that every action you take causes a reaction in the future. Positive caring actions will bring positive results back to you, whereas negative hurtful actions will result in your suffering. Why not try and at least be beneficial to the cause instead of selling out for capital gain and be the cause of the problem(eg. GREED!). Saying that companies are not responsible for the products they release is ridiculous. Lets say for example, I made a new beverage that is 100% addictive and causes death. Oh well people are responsible for themselves. I made the product but I am not responsible for what happens to people when they drink it. Yes this is an extreme example but it illustrates a point. Blizzard is 100% in my opinion responsible for their products. They created the game the way they did they chose it. They designed the game with the intent to get people hooked, and damn ... it sure worked. CaptainRPG, I am not conservative(hah that one made me laugh). I do understand the reasons why people feel the need to bury their sorrows in a bottle of booze or zone out for days playing video games. This world can be pretty rough sometimes. Though, in this particular case I do not feel that Blizzard is doing anything in the way of helping these poor people. Cyromatrix, Just because your government doesn't care about its people doesn't mean you have to follow their lead. Create your own path.
well the fact is that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF. the thing is from the time you start school you are told what you should do,get good grades... guess what if you dont listen and do sh!t for the next 12 years, your life will suc. so is it the schools fault or yours for not listening to the teachers(and hopefully your parents). the point is that you are in charge of your life from a very early age believe it or not. also the way you think the goverment should take care of its people you should move to China if you are not already there, because last time i checked i am in america where i can CHOOSE to play WoW as much as i would like.
check and mate Dru998
PS. last time i checked no one is holding a gun to these people's head telling them to play or they die
