So you have no self control, and in the grand tradition of modern america, you blame something inanimate other than yourself. That about sum it up?

I guess if by "That about sum it up?" you really mean "I am talking out of my asshole," then yeah, that sums it up. You see, the grand tradition of modern America is to bitch and complain and blame everything and everybody but oneself but yet go on living in denial, making oneself out to be the poor victim whom everyone is out to get, and do nothing to affect change in the circumstances. The fact is it finally dawned on me that with WoW I was completely and utterly wasting the precious hours of my life in this world in the most trivial and meaningless way I could imagine. I don't know what made me suddenly come to that realization and start listening to what the people in my life around me were telling me but I'm glad as hell I finally did. And I have no desire whatsoever to ever ever go back. I can say without shame or remorse however that the whole experience did teach me some things about life and myself. . .like how to prioritize what is really important and what is and is not worth my time.

So what you are saying is that you fail at time management because you couldent figure out how to have a hobby such as wow and do other things

Playing wow for any number of hours is no different the watching shitty ass TV and more people do that then play wow.

OK, so you used to play WoW. A lot. So now that you have your priorities straight what is it that you do exactly in the amount of free time you gained from leaving WoW behind? Drink all day? Read philosophical works? Exercise? Sit on the couch watching TV and eating cheesy puffs? Play Xbox? Play with yourself?

I find that gamers with a lot of time to game in general have unusual eating habits. It is not just people who play WoW or MMOs. They are not all unhealthy people either. Many eat enough and they eat good food. They just happen to eat at strange times. Others are just flat out unhealthy though lol.

It isn't just games that make people like this either. It happens to anyone that spends way too much time doing something and often is coupled with an obsession. That includes things which most people consider a good way to spend their time in America such as businessman, students, and parents (yes, I have seen people like single moms skip meals regularly because they spend so much time on a daily basis trying to make the lives of their kids the best that they can be).

I do speak from experience. WoW addiction is very REAL and can fark up your life just like addiction to drugs or alcohol. The effects of your behavior on your family and loved ones and friends are no different than any other addiction. I used to sound just like you, making excuses and defending my habit. I shed the burden on my life that WoW had become over a year ago now and I have to say looking back, WTF was wrong with me!?? The game is not an illness. The addiction is the illness. And the game happens to be very addicting to people who are of the right disposition (which I was). Since quitting WoW after playing for about 3 years or so my life has improved in ways I couldn't even have imagined. I've even dropped 25 lbs. If you are thinking of playing WoW and you try it and find you like it, watch out. It's playing with fire. It will consume you. If you're in high school. . .go out and chase poon or something like nature meant for you to do. Don't play WoW. Please for the luvva all that is good in the world. WoW is a mind-fark in a box.

Used to be just like me? What is that supposed to mean? Do you even know me? :laugh: I was making the point that WoW isn't the direct cause for anything like sleep disorders and addiction.

Chasing poon can be just as addictive and destructive, if not more so with much longer lasting consequences. Anything can be. Just because WoW was the most recent addiction for you doesn't mean it's going to be such a focus for everyone else. This should be a thread about addiction in general, not just WoW.

And yet here you are ahurtt, in a WoW thread, attacking the game and others, projecting your own self image on anyone who disagrees in some sort shallow attempt to hide the fact that you really haven't solved your own problems. You haven't realized that everyone isn't in your shoes, that the game was never the problem - you were. Like a poor confused man shouting slurs at poker players about how their sickness will consume them.

You haven't learned prioritization yet, because prioritization isn't about exiling anything you enjoy for lack of self control, it's about time management, getting the important things done before the meaningless things. If you can't stop eating cookies until you vomit, throwing cookies away isn't an achievement. It might be a solution - a workaround even, but the problem is still there, boiling beneath the surface. However, that wouldn't entirely be a problem until you start going to everyone's house and calling them fat just for having cookies. That's when your judgmental attitude and misplaced conclusion makes you look stupid.

 

[Buttzilla]

they key to playing wow is finishing everything you need to do BEFORE you turn on the computer! i'm finishing up my ms in physiology, i normally go to the gym after school, and eat whatever i get my hands on that's quick and not messy.

went from 70-80 in 5 days on my priest, fully epiced out in pvp/pve gear now with 1950 spell power and 450 mana regen. it's called self control people. not all wow'ers are fat and pimply. sheesh.

This.

It is not about WoW. It is about the people who have shitty priorities, time management skills, and will power in general. If WoW doesn't act at the reason for their problems then it will just be something else.

Just... wow. Are you so insecure that you have to assume that those who enjoy WoW don't get laid? Seriously? 😛 I guess instead of taking some time out of my day to slay virtual enemies I could plop down and watch something awesome and hip like American Idol or E! News. Or better yet I could *gasp* go out to the local establishments and knock back a few with my friends. You know, because people who play WoW are also able to do those things. It's not as if you have to play 24/7 and never leave the house while your ass expands to ginormous proportions and girls are only a graphical blip in the form of a night elf hotty (played by a dude no less).

"Funny" anecdote for you. We were out for New Years in downtown Nashville and one of the girls who I've known forever let slip a certain reference that only a WoW player would know. Imagine my surprise when I found out another normal, hot too, girl plays the game and yet was somewhat embarrased to admit it. You know why? Because of jackasses like you.

Cool your jets, bub. Why so defensive? The guy took a shot at me, can't I take one back in my own defense? I was talking to HIM and only HIM, not YOU. I never claimed every person that ever touched WoW became a reclusive socially inept fat pasty tub of lard. But you know there is more than a small number of people out there who do. Stereotypes have basis in reality. They aren't made up. One of the surest signs of addiction and denial is the compulsive need to defend your habit against anything and everything that could even remotely be construed as an attack against the object of your addiction. . .you sound awful defensive.

P.S. - Need pics of said girl to determine alleged hotness. Let the forum be the judge. Until you post pics of said female, your anecdotal story is deemed heresay. Hot is relative. If you personally look like Jabba the Hutt, I suppose Janet Reno might look hot to you. . .

Don't confuse me making fun of your ridiculous logic with a compulsive need to defend WoW. I don't give a shit about WoW.

I also like how because I disagreed with you, I must all of a sudden fit some sort of stereotype that probably better describes you during your addiction than anyone else on this forum.

WTF are you blabbering about? Of course I was the problem. I couldn't handle WoW. . .so I prioritized it out of my life. . .you know. . .got my priorities in order. And once I did I found that WoW really didn't have a place any more. If you can't stop eating cookies until you vomit, don't throw away cookies. . .just don't buy them. Why would you? For what possible reason? I just find it funny how all these people to whom I wasn't even talking feel the need to jump in and get all defensive. What are you protecting?

I know not everybody out there who plays WoW has a problem with it like I did but there are plenty who do. And it's them I'm talking to and about. If you don't have a problem with your WoW gaming habits then kindly fuck off.

See the thing is. . .like half the world. . .hell maybe more than that, is addicted to SOMETHING to the point that it is detrimental to their health or relationships. For some it's WoW, for some its illicit drugs, for some cigarettes, for some alcohol. . .you name it and people can overdo it and get hooked on it. Even things that in moderation would be considered healthy can become unhealthy when done to extremes. And the only way to solve the problem is to change your thinking and modify your behavior. Sometimes people can successfully cut back to healthier levels but sometimes they have to give it up totally. WoW for me was one of those things that I just decided was not even worth the effort of trying to moderate because it was simply such a complete and utter waste of life. So I quit it totally. And I don't miss it at all.

If anything I say here helps even one person not fall into the same trap I did and have to live through the same mistakes I made, then all the inane bullshit responses from douchebags is worth it.

No he's conscious of his health and doesn't like his metabolism to drop.

I averaged 16 hours a day back in my WoW prime about 5 years ago before all this level 70 level 80 shit. Man, those were the days. Barely any work, barely any sleep, barely any eating. When I ate, I ate a meal until I was so stuffed I wouldn't have to touch food again for another 8 hours or so. The sleeping in thing is a big help too. Also, to avoid having to deal with making food, I'd make like 10 sammiches and throw them all in the fridge. I'd mash up big bags of chips and put them in cups so I could "drink" them so my fingers wouldn't get cheesy.

During my WoW days, I use to skip lunch and eat one meal a day. During a holiday/school-less day, I'd wake up at 11am, shower, then turn on WoW and game until 12pm then eat. What the hell...

You only played for 1 hour before you had to eat? You are no hard core gamer my friend.
