Are You Addicted To World of Warcraft?

Thank you for confirming. And bookmarked.

I’m addicted to nicotine not WoW.

I have taken many long breaks (years) from WoW and have other hobbies to occupy my free time.

wow is life

Destroyed my life, love it!

Nope.

When I came back in S2 I did play a lot and got into WoW as it was my first time back since shadowlands, but that drive has already died out. It was largely just because there was so much to do in TWW since it all got dropped on me, and then I wanted to push 3K so I did, but after that I’ve played far far less and don’t have the same drive. So like I had fun getting a WoW fix in for a little bit sure, but I’m pretty much at the point now where I want to do 3 or 4 delves (just for an extra hero slot in case M+ vault is bad) and I want to do 1-4 M+ a week.

Once that’s done…I’m not motivated to play unless friends ask if I want to do keys and then I would. But we just had a child in May so I have to coordinate when I am going to sit down and have dedicated gaming time where I’m not immediately jumping up at the drop of a pin. It’s much easier to pick up a single player game that I can immediately pause if I need to do something around the house.

I could hurt you if you get between me and WoW. But im not addicted.

Not as much as I once was, but -puff puff pass- I’m all in on Lemix.

Not really, not anymore. I was a major addict for the first few years, but as the game design got worse, my addiction got weaker.

Not anymore.

After a break from mid MoP to mid BFA I stepped away from the game just fine and know I can walk away anytime now if I choose.

So lss, no.

Why thank you very much. You are the Posterchild of whatever remains of the lovely side of this game’s community :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

Perhaps there’s a sense in which non-Native English speakers learn from the ground-up in a more didactic, literary way in Europe. One tends to be more colloquial in their native language, if I recall my very short linguistic studies properly.

What delights me, is to see how WoW unites people under common denominators.
I genuinely hope Midnight manages to revive the social aspect of the game as an MMO… But I suppose only time will tell :wine_glass: (Arcwine)

Whatever it is, you have an excellent command of the language. You are clearly intelligent, but intelligence only gets you so far. I know many intelligent people, who learned English as a second language, and still struggle with certain aspects of daily communication.

For various reasons, I tend to solo this game. I agree with you though that a revitalization of the social side of the game would be nice to see. Maybe housing will help in that regard.

Nope. It’s something fun and familiar I come back to or in the case of TWW I’ve stayed subbed the entire expansion but I’d frequently take 2+ week breaks throughout the expansion and rarely play more than 3-4 days in a row.

And I struggle with all of them. Introspection can be a curse, especially with OCD and traumas old and new in the mix… I love being philosophical and explaining why things matter to me, but I admit I have difficulty acting. I initially retreated to gaming as a respite from bullying as a child. In a way, I still seek that same shield today. In some ways, even more so.

I’m also a solo player. I used to have a guild of 250 people, many online friends and PvP groups I used to co/lead… I lament that this is no longer the case, but I guess that is just life in general, as I’ve recently come to learn IRL. I don’t seem to be a good interpersonal learner in any regard. The only values I can keep are the lessons I learn along the way.
And, so, I wouldn’t want anyone reading my reflections to think monologing like King Solomon = happiness or practical, applicable experience of reality. I’m basically a stagnated child waving my WoW PvP skills over the facts I mentioned in my initial comment and above. Healthy Escapism should teach us how to navigate the real world, but it is up to one to use what they’ve learned, try and err, ā€˜Rezz’ and go again :slight_smile:
One step at a time. That’s just the human experience.

Im just a gamer. Wow is the best option Ive found for scratching the itch for my own use. The second that changes, I’ll move on, just like Ive moved on from 100 other games.
So no, not addicted to WoW, just a game addict.

That’s all any of us can do, really. The folks that succeed are the ones who actually learn from their experience and apply the lessons to their current decision making.

No, not really. Its kinda like chicken crap. And wow is that white spec on the top. And even though its on top its still crap. All it would take is a good mmo to be released and ill leave. Sunk cost doesnt effect my decisions.

Well, as a matter of even just surviving, learning and adapting; one’s success is a measure against their past own capacities alone. And, I say that as a PvP’er :dracthyr_tea: Comparison is the thief of joy. We can’t help the instinct, only decide where to put our focus. Isn’t the individual variety of our minds and stories, the thing that makes us human anyway? :smiley: (As opposed to conceptual 'NPC’s)

Indeed. Or it’s the thing that makes us interesting, at least.
