Suffice to say that if your children are learning their life values by playing WoW they have worse problems than whatever values they do or don't get out of the game. Games like WoW aren't designed to teach life lessons. They're designed 1) to be fun and 2) to make the company who made them money. Blaming blizzard for teaching children bad lessons about how "real life" works is about the dumbest thing I can think of. Take your kid out and climb a mountain or read a book with him every night or help him with his homework. If someone isn't doing that and his child learns bad life lessons from WoW, there's no one to blame but the parent.
WoW is not a parent or a babysitter. TV is not a parent or a babysitter. Movies are not parents or babysitters. Books are not parents or babysitters. And they should not be blamed for the negligence of parents who choose to treat them as such.
