The Only Real Solution...

[Forcerius]

Is to quit World of Warcraft.

Imagine yourself sitting in the same chair after playing for another 10 years. What will you have gained that has any significance in the real world? How long will it last? 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? Or the same exact person sitting in the same position they were 10 years ago with nothing to show for the time they spent on wow except temporary pixels and maybe a few "friends" they could have made in real life anyway?

And yet, as I type this, I still want to buy Legion because shadow priests look sick. Despite knowing its a waste of time and despite it being hypocritical for what Blizzard did. But I could only do that if I ignore the previous arguments while sacrificing logic for entertainment and the inevitable thorn in my mind that constantly says, "YOU'LL HAVE TO QUIT EVENTUALLY SO WHY NOT NOW?"

Uninstall and never look back. Cold turkey 100% is the way to go. Its a good feeling after a few days when the addiction subsides. You'll feel satisfied happy by doing things that actually matter. Just never relapse like I did with Nostalrius, or it starts all over again.

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.

I don't know if you are aware...
but you can combine wow with your real life, It's just another hobby.

Why is learning an instrument any more useful than learning to better yourself at a game? Playing instruments made me a valuable part of a tight-knit, 4 man team for a few years and was fun. Raiding made me a valuable part of a tight-knit 25 man/10 man team for a few years and was fun. I don't see how either is any more worthy than the other.

Lets review the definiton of "game" and what it really means.

Any game (video game in this case) has one goal. And that goal is the game itself. To play. It's not a means to an end, not a tool to achieve anything with it, outside of it. There might be goals inside the game but it's still part of the game which is the goal in itself.

Now, you could say that there are other games out there that has real life benefits, but it doesn't matter. The definition of a game is still the same. If you are a professional football player and you earn millions it can still be a game for you if what you are doing is not just a means to a specific end, you would still do it even if it didn't earn you millions or even any other so called "real life benefit" because it's a game, and thats the point here. In this case the game can yield a lot of money as a byproduct but thats not why do you it if you percieve it as a game.

The great irony of this world is that the people who are the best in a certain area, let it be games, art or other areas are always the people who are doing it just for the sake of doing it and not as a tool. Thats when real passion and pure motivation can happen which is a thousand times more powerful and effective than a weak egoic motivation which reduces things to a means to an end.

Video games might not have very good real life benefits but it doesn't matter, because they are games and they are not about gaining anything with them outside of them.
