WoW Love or Hate?

[chovynz]

I hate it, it's creating a generation of bad roleplayers. I blame it for the lack of creativity in my tabletop group. I love dungeon crawls as much as the next guy but they shouldn't be the be all and end all of roleplay. Down with WoW, and other similar MMORPGs.

I think you've nailed it on the head there. FL you have to use your head to roleplay. WoW = it's all done for you - no thinking about your char involved - all aimed at being the top pvp/pve. Roleplay is like sex. Your biggest asset is your mind. When you take the mind out of something, it becomes dead.

Again, people who are too stupid to not be addicted to WoW diserve to be shot. Those people have no self control and are doomed to be losers for life. I play the game avidly, but I don't let it rule me. I still play here and have fun with everyone else.

I think your opinion is too harsh. Addiction is subtle and sometimes chemical. Most addicted people are lonely. That's why they play "social" games. There's nothing "stupid" about it. Having no self-control is not about stupidity, it's a lack of training.

Seek fun and you shall find it. Seek stuff to Q_Q about and you'll find that, too. I choose to have fun.
