The Only Real Solution...

[Forcerius]

Imagine if you spent 10 years, or even a day on ANYTHING useful other than WoW, like reading, or making music, or going to the gym? How good would you be? What could you do with that skill? Which type of person do you want to be? Do you want to be someone who's knowlegable with useful abilities?

You can do all those things and play WoW, I train MMA (mostly to stay fit) work with game design, and have time to read a book or two each month.


Oh and btw, I have 3 lev 60 characters on Nost + a lev 32 that I just recently started leveling.

Me too. I ride my mountain bike, go to the gym, read every day, etc. But that doesn't nullify the point that even a single minute on WoW could be spent doing something better. Although this discussion has been had many times online and i'm not sure I even care after this reply. Just something to consider.

True, we will all quit wow someday, but if you enjoy it and have time not to be excessively playing it, then i think its fine, for example i am a student, currently studying in a college, i go to the gym, i have time to socialise but also a casual wow player, and not one of those casuals on retail, because even for a non dedicated player like me, retail is still far to easy, and vanilla provides a challenge, i think the person who created this threat is ignorant and narrow minded, let people do what they like, let them enjoy it come on don't tell them how to live their life

Videogames are a waste of time, in terms of personal advancement, everyone knows it.
Issue is people derive more fun from character advancement when they're personal advancement is hard or blocked. Dead end jobs, economic situations where you don't have a real shot at getting big, or just... lack of inspiration for other activities, are big issues that can't be solved with just one visit to a life coach.

Knowing what is a waste of time is easy. Knowing what is NOT a waste of time is something that after years I've been unable to really determine.

Ger, Eng, Ru. Have a job, want no kids, want no wife, able produce the stuff that i need 4 living "dat style". Tell e why i need to quit, for which reason if i have everything i need around, not everybody is sitting 6-8 hours after work/school @ wow (u remember yourself in the past, right)... damn son. Go to your mma workout, produce a picture of the perfect life for yourself while im living my perfect life, swallow it hard. BTW u cant even name 3x books you read in the last months. Game design is the shit you think, take some shrooms and get creativ buddy eat a turd while thinking of eating chocolate. Troll yourself shiny armor knight

Riding your mountain bike, reading every day, etc, is on the same 'waste of time' level as WoW. Even a single minute on any of these activities could've been spend doing something better.

Just something to consider.

Precisely.

I reached the same idea.

Playing WoW to advance a character is a little different that say "playing an instrument" or "going to the gym". For one, all are hobbies granted you aren't a lardo and actually need the gym nevertheless, you won't be professional in any given category. 95% of people live mundane lives of repetition. Saying the computer is a waste could easily be made to say reading is a waste. Or do I read in wow and learn as well? How much have you learned from gaming honestly? I have learned A LOT over the years. Take say d2, all the item names, locations, lore, playing RPG games is near reading a book. Unless you're reading like a college textbook you know what I mean. Sure I'll pick up my drum sticks but I'll never be John Bonham, people play games for different reasons. I'm so sick of hearing games are a waste of time. Life is a waste of time if you want to play games literally until you die and it makes you happy. Do it, it's your life and you are meant to seek out your own enjoyment. Also tell say CS:GO or LoL pros to stop wasting time on hobbies. The computer is a fun toy machine for losers after all not a way to make 200k+ yearly right? Cream of the crop rise to the top in any given field for them it's a lifestyle. For everyone us (you and me) it's a hobby no matter the field. Get learnt
