just think about it and decide if you want to be that person.
I've seen a complete train-wreck personality IRL. He doesn't know how to talk to people, he's always day-dreaming. Can't wait to get back to WOW.
Paying is part of why it is addictive. The compulsion to play as much as you can cause you're paying for it.
Everything is good in moderation.
The problem with WOW or any MMORPG is that it is very very slow and boring by other games standards. I can play Star wars republic commando for instance for a whole month because I only play less than 6 hours a week.
WOW is garbage if you only play 6 hours a week or less.
So you can't play it in moderation and still have fun.
At least I can't.
Just my 2 cents
Edit: He was 35ish and will never get laid. Seeing him + taking my friends advice about "not liking to see anyone NEED something like WOW" got me off of it. I play other games too now
