I think you guys need to learn to read.
Last I checked you aren't writing for wow.com

Don't act all surprised at the reaction you got.

It's the "World of Warcraft" thread, not the "World of Warcraft lovefest egosucking" thread.
you're the 2nd person now to try and push and bully me out of this thread simply because you don't like what I have to say. lol. typical.
My opinion should be a non-issue for you. If you're so confident and secure in the fact that you're a model citizen who's not overindulging in to the whole MMO lifesink, then more power to you.
I know the problem is more based on the individuals approach to the game, but there are a lot of people who take it to unhealthy levels, and sure, while the best thing to do would be to probably figure out a way to address the psychological profile of 11m individuals, it's not going to happen, so the only thing *I* as a single person can do, is voice my concerns about the common denominator, which so happens to be WoW.
If you play and take care of yourself, and your social relationships are still strong, and you still prioritize reality over fantasy, great, you've proven yourself mentally fortified enough to avoid getting sucked in to the neverending meaningless money fleecing hamster wheel.
However, if you're one of those people who put in 6+ hrs a day, tell people you can't go out to dinner, hang out, watch a movie, go have a drink, are missing work, are regularly obsessed with the content of the game to the point that you're writing an article about it every day, while yes, it's the individuals problem, I just have to blame WoW for being the catalyst.
