dude, i found out my friends are all secretly into that shit...they have a set time and date they play, and its like 9 on saturday nights...they talk about it all the time, i guess they just didnt talk about it around me cuz they knew i'd clown them...i couldnt believe that shit. that game is super duper gay.
its about as bad as the time i found out they all watched star trek together. they were like "well, dude, do u wanna watch with us?" i was like fuck no, i hate that show!

mmorpgs destroy lives, real talk no joke
ive seen a lot of people waste a TON of time on mmorpgs, and real life money as well for extra stuff like in game currency, and they have nothing to show for it. shit i used to play warcraft myself but quit and destroyed all of my pretty high-calibur blue items and a couple of epic items, as well as an epic mount (if you played the game you'd know how huge of a deal that truly was, as psilo said man, shit i coulda fetched a cool $500 for my account)
its an out of control addiction that can go unchecked for quite awhile since nobody sees it as something so serious, and i truly think there needs to be some kind of outreach/rehabilitation for people that go over the edge and play that shit 18 hours a day for months straight

uhh... because time spent vs how much youd make isnt worth it. a half year to get ~$1000 if you're a straight pro... that whole time you're on your ass grinding it out cut off from the outside world. id rather work fast food at least theres human contact and the money would be guarenteed; warcraft could fall off and the accounts could become worthless. also with all the laws your items wihtin the account are like the intellectual property of the company that owns the game or something so they actually own it, and if you read the terms of service you dont even really own your account either. so scenario a you go to sell the account someone finds out and you're banned, or scenario b you sell the account and they get banned and they come head hunting for you, or scenario c you might get off scott free but still its not really worth it. also shits a dirty grimy business and im not into passing an addiction onto some unsuspecting soul with their rich daddys credit card, or getting scammed out of a half year to a year of hard work.
plus when you can go to sites like ige where they are literally paying slave wages to kids to do the same thing you're doing and selling it for 40 times cheaper than you kind of makes it pretty difficult.
in the heigth of asherons call glory there were several people who made thousands upon thousands of dollars off of selling items in the game, but for warcraft its not the same

There are over 10,000 people in China playing the game and selling items FULL time as their career. There are literal companies (corporations actually) that have office buildings with hundreds of people playing WoW at a time, gathering gold to sell on ebay and other places.
I knew a higher ranking chinese woman that was making about $70,000 american usd a year (THATS IN CHINA.. basically shes a millionaire in that country) selling gold.
Counting both my characters, my items, and gold i sold, I made about..
$800 + 500 + 250 = $1,550 from WoW
and about $2,700 from the original Everquest.
And its not like I played them that much. I just played them smartly... I had fun while doing it and made a shitload of cash for playing a game.. MMORPG's are definitely an addiction worse than most drugs, i'd agree with that. But its funny how many of you dont like them because you "dont understand" them or think theyre just about clicking and moving around. Thats actually pretty funny to me how someone can misinterpret something that bad.
