did you even think that the people flaming WoW are doing so because that game took up all the time of our loved ones and we are desperate to get them back? It is an addiction. A sickness. My ex (who dumped me for that fucking game) forgets to eat and sleep and is risking failing university because he has no time for study and more time for killing imaginary creatures. He traveled to my country to study and make his family proud and he is throwing it away, so shut up, all i want to do is help because it is that stupid game that is completely ruining his life.

I don't know how this game is managing to get its players to continually defend it passionately when someone says they hate it. That always amazes and frightens me. Usually - if someone says "I hate such and such music" or "alchohol ruined my family" or something - people are like "yeah I can understand how you could feel that way" But when someone utters disapproval of Wow it never fails - somebody turns up to (A) Vehemently defend the awesome perfectness of wow (B) Bash the offender into the ground furiously and continually until they submit to the view that the game is the best and there is nothing wrong with it

Don't over exaggerate a point, it only makes you look a bit silly and gives someone room to criticise your argument. And that weakens your other arguments.

Go for it, if he loves you he'll realise his mistake and ask for you back. I only hope you have the wisdom to accept under the condition of new "rules" for gameplay. Or just no game. Posted by Liam off of WoW for 30mins 43 secs

You're going to base your post on his appearence. It's things like that which ruin it. Instead don't reply. As we said on WoW. "Troll troll is obvious." Also, "Don't feed the troll, it will just grow bigger" You see what I mean. Don't react and for gods sake address the post not the posters appearence.

Playing a few hours a week is not a problem, if you are being honest with yourself and that is all you are playing. The people who are mostly being discussed in the forums here are not playing a few hours a week, they are playing a few hours a day, even over 10 hours a day. I think that is certainly worthy of concern. If you can cancel your account at any time, also that is fine. Many people are so hooked and entrenched in the game, cancelling it will be a huge effort and may take many months of heartache and serious turmoil before it happens. Not all gamers are made the same.

I came across this site from a fellow WoW player as I required resources for a report in my Business Admin course. It is titled "World of Warcraft Addictions: How it affects relationships" I, myself am a WoW gamer. I have spent countless days /played on my main toon (187days+). Do I think I am addicted? NO. I am not addicted to WoW in any manner. To me, it is only a past time. Nothing more, nothing less. I am a single parent to a 4yo son, and contrary to what people think of gamers and children, he is NOT neglected in any shape or form. I have read alot of these threads and posts. Many cases a lot of you have real reason to be concerned. There was a lady grumbling how her husband plays 2hrs a night. Realistically that's really good control. 2hrs. Would she have an issue if he was going to the pub for 2hrs every night to hang out with his mates? I am thinking not. Some of these posters are genuine in saying that WoW is ruining their relationships, but there are quite a lot that are using WoW as a focus point to blame why the relationship is failing. (the husband who spends 2hrs a night, prime example). Both my partner and I play WoW ( hes in Aus, Im in NZ) it is a way we can spend "time together". Honestly, if he is spending so many hours playing WoW why not see what the attraction is. Try and understand the "addiction". From what I have observed alot of these posters are whining why they're spouse isnt spending time with them... ummm its a relationship a little give and take, try and spend time with them in the game that they play. Maybe when you rant and rave and are banging your head against a brick wall, he may actually listen to why you're feeling the way you're feeling opposed to listening to a screaming, hysterical banshee. Honestly, it is time people stopped blaming the addicting substance (WoW in this example) and look at the root of the issue. WoW is used as a tool of Escapism, so why are these men escaping their realities? Relationships are all about compromising.. Sit down with your spouse and explain you're having an issue with the hours he spends (cept the 2hr a night husband, that wife is just controlling IMO). Find out what his raid days/night are. Most guilds require a percentage of attendance. For example if they raid 5 nights a week, find a compromise with your spouse. Is 3 nights a week really that much of a big deal? From what I am observing many of these posters on the WoW topic havent set "boundaries" till its gotten out of hand. Did you not see the increasing amount of time your spouse was at the computer playing WoW? Not only does your spouse need to accept responsibility, but you do as well for not intervening before its gotten to this stage. Let me guess, many of you have sat in an accusing manner saying "you dont spend time with me, WoW is more important etc etc etc" opposed to recognising it is something your spouse enjoys to do. Compromise people. Its not that hard. 3 nights a week your spouse can raid/level/pvp that leaves 4 nights with you and/or family. Make it VERY clear that if your spouse oversteps this that there will be consequences. I understand I may get a lot of hate for this post but from what I have read WoW is not 100% at fault.

this person is right, wow is like a disease, we should treat it like one, implent operation: wow purge, shoot your family, wives, husbands etc if they have any hint of liking wow, destroy their computers as well so you won't be tempted yourself.

It's not always bf/gfs , my brother first started playing everquest it must have been about 10 yrs ago then he started on wow and he has waisted so much of his life on online games his appearence,cleanliness,lost his social life all due to playing these games. Its easy to say you've not got a problem playing it but some people cant admit they do and these people need help :) i mean its not normal for someone to sit in their room nearly 24 hours a day eating,sleeping warcraft that is someone with a serious problem.

I'm so glad to read the original post. It reminds me *exactly* of why I quit playing WoW. It's full of emotionally-stunted, hateful, angry little people. True story ... I remember, about a year ago, someone posted on the WoW forum for my server that a player had died ... in real life. A 17-year-old kid, apparently he had been hit by a train ... this was not being faked. The post was sincere, and it obviously had really happened. The rest of the thread was full of posts like 'LAWLZ OMG HOW DOES SOMEBODY GET HIT BY A TRAIN? TOTALLY DESERVED IT IMO!!!' This was a *kid* who *died*. Someone who had his whole life ahead of him. This is the level of humanity in the WoW 'community'. These are the kinds of people, people like the original poster, that you're spending time around when you're logged on to this game. Many of the 'people' who populate this game are angry little sociopaths that you wouldn't want to spend 2 minutes around in real life. Why would you want to spend hours and hours around them in a 'virtual life'?

My brother is addicted. Are you suggesting I completely cut him out of my life because he spends LITERALLY every minute of his day on WOW? Don't accuse people in situations like mine of not taking responsibility for something that isn't even their fault. Believe me, my mom and I have tried turning off the internet (he stole the neighbors wireless) and blocking the site (I'm pretty sure it hasn't worked because even though he won't let us see what he's doing, he spends all day and night on the computer). He has wasted a semester in college because this game has triggered his addictive personality. It's honestly the saddest thing I've ever seen because he is one of the smartest people I know. I'm sincerely offended that you are implying that I should be held accountable for being unable to stop someone I care about from throwing his life away for a game. Please be more conscientious and empathetic towards others before you make assumptions about people you don't even know.

Uhm, right you know what, how about this one, in the united states if I were to run-away I would've gotten into serious trouble, No CPS person will recognize online gaming as a problem though it is a problem and it is a form of neglect, no CPS person will say it is because neglect to them is not feeding the child 3 times a day, providing more then 3 outfits for a child, and making sure they have shelter. Frankly I became a victim of 1) Online gaming and 2) Neglect from my parents. This made me an Online Gaming Orphan, or in other terms a child that didn't have their parents there to give them the attention they needed. I had become my brother's Mother in the sense of care and making sure he did what he was needed to do. You tell me, with the way the US runs with CPS, with how fucked up the legal system is, and with my parents staring at computer screens, do you think I could have done something? "Oh CPS my mom, dad, uncle, and aunt are neglecting us, they don't give us enough attention." You think that would have worked? No, but I'm sure I could have eventually figured something out which would have separated my brother and I giving him and I no family members to stay in contact with. Maybe I should have stood up for myself and went to my grandfather's house and told him how evil online gaming was.... No, he would have told me to go back because he's a priest. No, I don't see anyway I could have fought my way out of the situation.

This is my comment to you...because I have heard these exact words before: "I play WoW a few hours a week, but I could drop the damn thing without a second look whenever I wanted." My comment is ...go ahead and drop it completely now. Prove to yourself that your money is where your mouth is. My guess is that you may say that you have dropped it and didn't, or you find that you make excuses to stay.

John, it is interesting that you insist on insulting the respondents to your post and not their arguments. instead of critically analyzing their approach you have chosen to make one of the easiest logical fallacies of which to fall victim, argumentum ad hominem. if you insist on criticizing the people on this site, you should first read each individual thread. although most situations are similar, and for this reason they seek peer advice, each are quite different in their own way and should be treated as such. i think it is great that you have a stronger will power than most. however, i can only wonder what type of person can write such self-righteous statements and generalizations. i am sure you are prey to other character flaws, and from the looks of your arguments your logic is obviously one. from your posts i can conclude only that you are a hypocrite.

Wow, so many happy faces when confronted with a blunt solution. Let me address Donnie first. Wow. You're pretty tough, pal. You DID nail one important fact: You're goddamn right I'm a dick. As for the rest of what you said, hey bud.....this is a public forum and we're all entitled to our opinions. I'm not gonna waste time calling you a shitbag, cum dumpster, fucktwat, etc, because I'm sure you're just some fat kid sitting in your mom's basement, getting orange cheetos powder all over your keyboard while staring at your female night elf's ass to compensate for the fact that no one will ever love you. So no, I won't go there. However, I take exception to what you said about my shirt. That's a U.S. Marine Corps PT shirt, not a puke Army shirt. There's a difference, please realize this. As for Cody: First, even though I have no place correcting you due to my simple-mindedness, there's only one P in surprised. And there's an R in front of the P, complex-minded guy. Second, I didn't insult you at all pal. I laughed at pathetic assholes too engrossed in WoW to eat, sleep, shit, or screw. And I certainly didn't bring your family into it. And I WILL take my own counseling, bud. I won't raise a goddamn video game to a higher level of importance than my family. I'm going to stop now, because I'm afraid I might get lost in the complex corridors of your mind, perhaps never finding my way out. See ya Cody! Oh, and remember that when you spell girlfriend, an I comes before E, except after C. I'm assuming you mispelled it because a girlfriend is an alien concept to you.

I'm just supprised that he posted more than once. He is simple minded and has of course simpleminded solutions. But life isn't simple and relationships are insanely complex. I have had the pleasure of trying marrage counseling and I would reccomend it to any couple. 1 on 1 couples will just spiral downward without some educated guidance. Wow isn't even a problem in my relationship but wow is a problem for many of the people on these forums. All couples have problems mostly rooted in miscommunication. Learning some communication tools really helps. Ever hear of a gambling addiction? It's a big problem here in Nevada. Compared to WOW, pulling a handle and feeding in quarters is really a waste of time, but it's a real and serious problem. For this problem they have programs and counseling to help. To some degree that's why people come here, to seek anything that could help their situation. John, best of luck with your pregnant girlfrend. You might want to think about marrying the girl so your child can have a father. And I have news for you, you will have problems. Oh yes you will and when you do, please take my advice and seek counseling instead of your own and just dump that girl and leave your child without a family. Good Luck Cody

"The only issues I see here involve weak-willed people in thrall to a fucking VIDEO GAME (which I find both hilarious and sad), and weak-willed people in thrall to them (which is just sad)." Some people don't ditch the ones doing the excessive Warcrafting because they're actually concerned for what the player is doing (or what the may be on the road to doing) to their lives. Sometimes people actually want to *help* their friends / partners, but don't know how to do it. These people are not weak-willed. Quite the contrary, actually. And it's not "just sad" to want to make sure someone isn't letting a game interfere with real life. What I see here are people who are trying to find ways to fix a problem, or who are looking for support in the form of others with the same problem.

Guess what, I read his posts and at first I got angry, then I re-read them several times. He's right on some of his points people, not all but definitely alot. I have now realised that my anger and hurt has been aimed at a game, and where it should have been aimed and is aimed now is at the REAL object. My boyfriend, I'm angry with him, not the game, HE is the addicted fucking asshole idiot who sits for hours on end doing quests or whatever the fuck it is that goes on there. His guild has slowly become HIS new family. I see so clearly, that myself and the kids are not #1, we don't fucking matter anymore. Because he is an addict, he's fucked and he's about to lose it all. I've realised that "I" have choices. I either sit around waiting for him to realise what is most important, haha, which guess what, isn't me or his family, it's the game and his new little family there, OR I get the fuck out. I've invested alot of years with him, helped him out, been his rock and loved him fiercely. NO MORE, he has shown me what is #1, put me on the back burner enough and ignored life. He smiles lovingly and happily at the computer screen while he sneers and freaks out at me. I want to rip his head off. Who's with me here? Am I alone in thinking that we all have choices? Why stay with someone who does not care that they are hurting you and themselves? Why cry and yell for them to please just stop, if they really really wanted to they would...apparently they don't. Let them rot, the day will eventually come where they wake up and say, wtf? And realise what they lost, and it will be TOO LATE. I'm eagerly awaiting that day. Here's to the start of a new chapter, good luck to everyone. Kirsty

Interpret my quote as you will, I guess. I never said people interested in WoW never pay their bills, never go to work, and never spend time with their families. I also am not a person who says that my life is ruined because of WoW. What I did say what that--'it can be more interesting'. I fully understand the routine of life in any household can be downright boring. I get bored with the stuff myself, however, I happen to not be interested in computer gaming as a past time. Aggressive accusations and condescending tones aren't helpful on this board. Advising people to leave their spouses over a game I suppose is one option, but I certainly wouldn't say its the best option for most people. We've found a compromise that works for us - allows him to enjoy his game and also give us plenty of us/family time. Do I get frustrated with his game playing at times - sure. Does he get frustrated with things that I enjoy? - sure. That's part of life. Does it mean that we no longer want to be married - absolutely not! Does it mean that our kids are in the midst of some horrible neglect or turmoil? - Couldn't be further from the truth.

John, John, Johnny Boy, all I really have to say is...you're a DICK!!! If these people posting on here really think that WOW has ruined their lives, then let them think it. It's their outlet, it's how they cope. Now...I understand your point of view, I really do John, I mean I don't get it either...as a matter of fact, if I had it my way I would encourage all of these people to be just like you man. I mean, you're the fuckin king on this site, honestly man, you set the record straight and speak your mind, and I salute you for that. I mean, why wouldn't everybody want to take corny ass pictures of themselves, posing like some sort of Georgia bad-ass, and join blogs just to fuck with peoples agendas ( don't get me wrong man, I'm sure your just fuckin hardcore, I mean...the hat...man...that just says it all, and let us not forget the skin tight army green shirt) OF COURSE, GOD DAMN ALL OF YOU OTHER PEOPLE, YOU SHOULD REALLY, HONESTLY BE LISTENING TO THIS GUY!!! ANYONE WHO CAN GET AWAY WITH LOOKING LIKE JOHN CENA IN THE MARINE, HAS GOT TO KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKIN ABOUT!!! So, Mr. Cena, keep layin the smack-down on these people. MY BEANIES OFF TO YOU!!!!!! cocksucker!!!!!!!

If you're going to quote me, use entire sentences, please. Now it's my turn to quote you. "For some people WoW is a compulsion and can be more interesting to them than taking care of things in their daily life. The feeling that they are missing out on activities in the game can be difficult to deal with." Do you realize how horrifically sad that is? To think that grinding your warrior to 70 could possibly be more important and interesting than your wife and kids? Your bills? Your rent? Your job? Life's too fucking short to put your LIFE itself on the backburner to ANYTHING, much less a fucking videogame. I mean, come on now. Imagine it: "Honey, Mikey just said his first word! He said daddy!" "Yeah.....yeah. Gimme a second. I'm the raid leader....can't leave the raid. Sorry hun. That's cool though." Roughly translated: My video game loot that no one in the real world gives 2 shits about and won't get me hired anywhere is more important than you. And don't deny it, that's the general gist of all the bitching I've come across here. And yes, I have read them extensively. Bitching and moaning about how World of Warcraft has ruined their families. No, your shitty spouse has ruined your family. Any man/woman that is willing to become more involved in running around as a fucking orc than their families isn't worth a fucking snivel, let alone a tear. I don't care how "awesome" they were before they showed their true colors. So, in closing, yes......seems to me that person doesn't want you anymore. They want epic loot. I say let em fucking have it. Move on.

"this person doesn't want you anymore?" "Anyone with the slightest amount of self respect would drop their spouse/partner/whatever like a dirty turd" That couldn't be further from the truth, IMO. You are generalizing and characterizing, and waaaay out there on this one. For some people WoW is a compulsion and can be more interesting to them than taking care of things in their daily life. The feeling that they are missing out on activities in the game can be difficult to deal with. That's how I understand it. Not that the player would give up everything else in their life just to play it. Come on. Let's at least be rational in discussion.

Please. The issues addressed here are a lot bigger? The only issues I see here involve weak-willed people in thrall to a fucking VIDEO GAME (which I find both hilarious and sad), and weak-willed people in thrall to them (which is just sad). Anyone with the slightest amount of self respect would drop their spouse/partner/whatever like a dirty turd if they were passed up for attention because," I need to level up my hunter ZOMG! PWNSAUCE!!". And I consider the things I say an attempt to help, Cody. We can all cry and whine and shave our legs and despair and tell people how to live with your partner humping his/her PC rather than you, or we can say," Open your fucking eyes. This person doesn't want you anymore. You have been supplanted by a group of faceless strangers in the guise of dwarves and night elves. Go find a real man/woman!". Good God.

John, yet another fly by night poster who saw the title of the tribe and just haaad to post a new thread. Why don't you hold yourself to account and actually READ some of the stories in here before beaming your ignorant self-righteousness. If indeed we ever see another post from you John I would encourage you to do a little research into the threads of this tribe. The issues addressed are allot bigger than you and your ability to play the game casually. So either you can try to help or just leave. Cody

Pathetic. Stop blaming a video game because you're stuck with a shitty boyfriend/husband. I play WoW a few hours a week, but I could drop the damn thing without a second look whenever I wanted. I already plan on canceling it when my girlfriend gives birth to our first child. Quit bitching about how much you allow a video game to ruin your life and go find someone who will actually stop banging a keyboard long enough to bang you. There's nothing I hate more than people who don't hold themselves to account.
