She's on crack, plus I bet she's employed by Blizzard.

Which in fact makes her a crack dealer.

Spending more than a few days played in world of warcraft and you'd disbelieve everything she says.

Everyone who you don't know personally act like a bunch of 4chan f***tards. It's pretty much exactly the internet chatroom in a game. I'd f***ing hate the world if it was even a little more like how people treat each other in wow.

TBH given the populatiry of things like facebook and myspace is it really justified sledging WoW so heavily when many MORE people are starting to shun real life and there social circles in favour of a more easier to administer online aspect instead?

TL;DR Myspace and facebook are just as bad yet most people happily use them isntead of sledging?

P.S In before the odvious "freakin wow addict!", Yes i quit over a year ago so choke on it.

I was lucky, the graphics whore in me put me off WOW from the start, and have never touched it.

Won't people running around saying "You pick up good behaviour from games" Just add more ammo for the "You pick up bad behaviour from games" people?

It's basically the exact same argument isn't it?

Gamers are so quick to shut down "GTA made him/taught him do do it!" when it's bad yet everyone seems to willing accept "Helping people in WoW made him help people in 'real' life"

Hypocritical much?

Scooter: I think that the idea is that (normal) people dissociate from the fantasy and more extreme violence aspects and can still take on board more abstract lessons about problem solving and team building. Organisations use events like paintball for team building without the hysteria over learned homicidal behaviour.

I don't think that its an inherently hypocritcal notion - what we're talking about is a modern-day interactive parable or fable.
