Addicted to WoW

ITT: Your perfect substitutions that take the place of a real life.
I deleted my WoW character after some c**t on here suggested I do so. Now that it's been a few weeks I've come to realize exactly what that game's purpose is.

WoW is good
web is also good
i quit wow tho
when my internet went down for two days and i realized i was completely burnt out on it.

make you come back for it, woop-de-doo, no account!
you're free OP, enjoy it.

Its a waste of time, exactly its just there to consume free time, like web, like porn, like any other game, whatever.
It just looks like a paint factory exploded to me

I keep dreaming about this game, starting back up, that is. I could level up a healer with skinning and mining. By the time I'm level 80 I would have nearly 7k gold. Two to three days of Random Heroics, since queue times are nearly instant for healers, and I would have ~5kgs. I could immediately begin starter raids, and within a month I could be at least 8/12 ICC. I could pick up tailoring at this point and make epic boe patterns. Not to mention I'd also have practice with arenas by this time. Two months and I'd be in the top 15% of everyone that plays WoW.
This... this is so possible, so clear to me. This is an option not just for a sense of accomplishment, but since the game has millions of players, real life gatherings, and is constantly upgrading, it's a valid way to live my life.
But now that I'm done. What are my other options? There's nothing there. I hate where my life is going and to change it is to enter the unknown. And the unknown is scary, and possibly dangerous.
WoW isn't just a game, an addiction if you want to go to an extreme. It's an option for life with your rewards and potential failures already laid out before you. Take it, and compare it.
This life which is fairly enjoyable and sustainable, or the unknown?

i dont know man i just regurarly go and chill out at laos

I also apologize for starting a wow thread. It's like squeezing a sponge. All the idiots leak out onto the floor where you can see them.

I don't know but here's picture of a burned ni**er.

I used to fat as hell, I started smoking weed, and riding my bike (apples are my snacks) now I'm skinny!

You're choosing an inferior, extremely poor fantasy realm that is generally the same exact operation for hours on end. The people you do it with, despite their quality, are doing a group activity with you that is equivalent to playing soccer.

I dunno about your sh*t, but I'm playing Eve Online. Mining all day err day, I'm a captain of industry. What I like about Eve is this: I'm about to go make a steak. Then I will eat my steak. I will be mining the entire time. I will probably have a cigarette afterwards, and I'll be browsing web throughout. The mining will not cease :)

World of Warcraft is a trash game. It's not even a game, it's just a lever that is set up for you to push over and over again, all the while paying them monthly for the pleasure of trying to push the level faster than anybody else.
Go read the Cracked article about WoW. Then come back here and try to justify your lifestyle choice.

read this article, OP
http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/why_we_havent_met_any_aliens/
ignore the 'why we haven't found aliens' theme. I found the more interesting part was the point about how we are able to create instant gratification mechanisms nowadays, and how that is like totally bad and spineless of us... only, I can't help thinking that it isn't bad at all. That's all we ever needed.

All MMO's are f**king fail and I'll tell you exactly why...

OP here again. Some of you are missing the point because of being stupid.
WoW is not dissimilar to a person working the same job for 10 years. It's just my experience. It's the thing that showed me what it means to have those two options laid out before you.

WoW and other MMOs are the one thing life never is, fair. You work hard you WILL get somewhere. You can go from zero to hero if you spend enough time. Everyone starts as the same level 1, no one is ugly or weak by their very nature.
What really pulled me in to the game was being wanted. I spent my childhood as the guy who got picked last for dodge ball, who was picked on and ostracized. In WoW i was one of the best. Everyone wanted to hang out with me, to have me in their pvp team or instance group. I was respected, looked up to, I made fast friends.
I no longer play the game, I really don't have time anymore, but a part of me misses it a lot, especially when life starts to feel unfair.

heh, I never made friends in that game. Maybe a couple short term ones.
Little ass kissers like you who try to please everyone in game always brought out the worst in me. If I happen to see you kiss an idiot's ass ima' explode. Not to mention I'm probably already being mean to the idiot

Nah, I was never an ass kisser, just really good at what I did. Became a guild leader, everyone loved me. People kissed my ass, not the other way around.

I can relate to this. WoW was there when life was sh*t. Something to look forward too when you're having a sh*tty day at school or work. I've stopped playing a couple of months ago as it became pretty damn boring. But lately having the urge to engulf myself with WoW again since life seems to keep kicking me in my balls.

So you were a self important prick then.

stupid ni**er should have sold your account.


So you were a self important prick then.

"Damned if i do, damned if i don't"


"Damned if i do, damned if i don't"

I've met good and bad guild leaders.
If you are a good guild leader you must be a bit of a prick. The ones who pull this off better usually are either polite or act like they don't really care but you should listen to them anyways.
However, since this is largely determined by situation, impression, word choice, timing, etc. No matter how well you do in your job that you just gave yourself that you must pay to even do you are still trying to ingratiate a bunch of f**ktards after shiny virtual items with teamwork in mind.
Therefore, it is impossible that everyone loved you. Not only that, theres a nostalgia factor here that you are ignoring. These people are not your friends, they piss around in the same game you do for artificial reward because their real lives aren't rewarding enough.

No obviously I misspoke in saying EVERYONE loved me, but the people who didn't quickly left because they didn't get a long with me and the other main people in the guild. So everyone who was around long term loved me is really what i should have said.
As far as not really being friends, i still keep in touch with people i haven't played with for a couple years, and once like 20 of us met up and got plastered at a big house party, was pretty sweet.
