Ha, they ruined my video. Care to elaborate on which track needs changing?

[jonvuu2]

I quit WoW 6 months ago and still if i had my internet connection at home back tomorow i'd start again but i wont obviously, im still figuring out if i can ever have a connection at home again without starting to play. quiting WoW is easy the "craving" wich gets heavier after time is the worst part of it. People who still claim WoW isnt addictive and doesnt cause problems are really ignorant, thats in my opinion at least .

This doesnt even make sense at all, everyone has a addiction to something why make a bid deal about warcraft? i can think of many many other addictions a heel of alot worse then wow. Why dont you go be a crackhead or a heroin addict and then lets see if you still think wow addiction is so bad.

@supermanofmen This video is old. You don't know how it used to be. Back in the day it was all about grinding. The longer you played the better you got. And that was the addictive part. Now you can come online, do your guild raids, do your dailies and you're done.

@jonvuu2 If you honestly think wow is "addictive" you're a dumbass and a weak person

[xNinjanxZZx]

Yeah, this can happen. BUT, if you are a regular player, you will not watch TV, you will play WoW. If you look at your /played you might be scared, but hey! How many days have you been watching TV? Or wasting your money on gambling etc. Those numbers are not taken seriously, even they are larger.

@jonvuu2 WoW is addictive, but so is every other game. It's actually the players fault if he plays 20 hours a day. But hey, that still better than what the guy in the top comment said. I myself play about 2 hours a day, and about 5-7 on saturday and sunday. Thats how i spend my free time. Some watch tv, but nobody calls them no lifers, but they practicly do the same thing, sit and watch at the screen, and at least i socialize(yeah on the internet) and have fun.

Being a WoW addict is not the problem,as i see.Being a WoW addict and playing bad is a real problem.

@Tazzs3123

No, that would be more like saying 100 bucks to never play any video game ever. That's pretty hard.

[Tazzs3123]

wow can be addictive, i admit i was addicted to it in highschool, and i quit about 2 months after wotlk came out........i didnt have any sort of craving to play wow at all, lets put it this way. if someone said "if you dont play wow for a whole day i will give you 100 bucks, a wow player could do that no problem, but you say that to a cocaine addict or alcoholic and see how far you get
