Why is Blizzard continued to be allowed to facilitate a more dangerous drug than Cocaine, Meth, or Heroin? World of Warcraft has ruined more lives than any illegal drug.
Everyone that has ever been involved in developing World of Warcraft should be in jail.
If I ever go homeless I'm going to get a laptop and play wow in a McDonald's all day every day and JDIF to get by. >0.02 cents a post adds up

DUDE VIDEO GAMES LMAO

Hardly related to politics. WoW isn't even the same anymore, its a casual shitfest that's behind time-locks. Its not like vanilla where you could just play 18 hours a day and always have something to do.
Gavin Lewis
How does an Australian know about vanilla WoW? Did you even have internet back then?
Juan Bailey
I agree, OP. 4 years off it and still get nostalgic thoughts of how "good" it was and that it wouldn't hurt to give it another chance while in reality I know it's a grindfest of shit and no fun.
Vanilla was crack and in retrospect, highly addictive. At one point I was playing with the thought of killing my parents cause they pulled the cable at about 2am. Scary addictive. Anyone still play it?
Henry Torres
>World of Warcraft has ruined more lives than any illegal drug. Implying the people who let ruin their lives were not all on some illegal substance like pot?
Colton Hughes
only if you had some sort of other problems in your life. like being born a cuck
i played mmo's for a few hours after school. like all normal healthy children. i still had a life
wow: darwinism edition
Matthew Hughes
fuck off at least in world of warcraft im the jew
Christian Stewart
There's some good vanilla private servers, so yeah. The upside is that it's free.
Carson Gray
did it shrink your brain and rendered it useless?
nope. Unlike video games, drugs can dry your brain like a sponge. so, your arguement is invalid

pretty shitty drug when like 80% users just quit on their own
Robert Cox
No. I play on Kronos and there are some bugs but they are actively fixing them when people report them correctly. I've never heard of anyone hacking but there is botting and they got software that detects it and GMs that check out suspicious players so that it's not a noticeable problem since they ip ban and sometimes range ban. The feeling is the same as 10 years ago.
Isaiah Bailey
what about LOL? All my friends in their mid 20s who play this game are semiautistic, addicted, mindblown NEETs.
Robert Murphy
It's a pretty easy drug to quit when you're an American with internet that goes down every 5 minutes because reasons.
Landon Wood
Kronos is pretty shitty. >make rogue >name it Kikeslayer >20 levels later they make me change the name >name it Judejuicer Haven't played since then

At the time roughly ~5% of my entire time on earth was spent in game
WoW has single-handedly bren the largest influence on the direction of my life. Who knows where'd I'd be without it? Maybe I'd have gone to college, maybe I'd have started shooting heroin with my old freshman buddies that I lost contact with. Atleast I can say I cleared Black Temple/Hyjal/most of SWP
Hunter Smith
god I fucking hate admins, all of them it's the type of job that attracts nothing but insufferable cunts who only want to swing around a big ban hammer to make themselves feel better
Isaiah Lopez
idk i was a guild leader of a higher end raiding guild, and I learned a lot about managing people, communication at a pretty young age, game isn't the same and doesn't require the same grind. It was also something me and my friends could bond over. Still went out, still went to school, but always found a few hours a week to play.
Mason Hall
Everyone here should be playing wow in order to worship kek. After all he manifistated himself with his last power he lost over the centuries in the wow language algorythm chaging the probably most used word for the other faction to his own name. Out of lol came kek. This was when he started gaining new power after thousands of people are writing his name over and over again until he eventually became as strong again as he is now.
Prais kek
Landon Wilson
>guild leader >high end guild >few hours a week
If you played before cata and really were high end raiding, then you were playing no less than 10 hours a day
Alexander Bennett
Yes we had WoW back then but we had to walk to the instances uphill both ways with 600ms
Thomas Cox
High end raiders still demand 12+ hours a day for the first fortnight of a tier
Day raiding was barely even a thing before Ulduar
Sunwell was the first time there was a serious high end hardcore race.
The requirements at the top end have not changed materially throughout the years even if the requirements for lower players have become easier.

"higher end" We are talking top 10 on a high pop server, we weren't cutting edge, but we did alright. And we started in WOTLK.
Grayson Campbell
Most of the addicts were already on Everquest, and before that they were on MUDs.

I dropped college to have more time for wow, never did anything else in the drug department. I quit many years agoand fixed my life but it was an addiction

Fuck off.
Caleb Peterson
Same happened to me. Curse you Blizzard. May Kek bring you ruin.
Caleb Nelson
You're pretty much right, OP.
My psychiatrist agrees. He sees people like you and I all the time.
John Barnes
No wonder you only played a couple hours a week, you played the expansion that was designed for casuals. I used to play 8+ hours a day and I wasn't even wearing full epics. You needed to play 80 hours a week or more to be in the top guilds.
Nicholas Moore

This, LOL along with Pokemon GO are the more dangerous drugs at the moment. Also dubs.

I've got around 70h /played and about 50h of it has been roleplay
Then again I created my character in 2009 so it's really nothing when you think about it

They make a product, but it's the player's responsibility to balance the game with their life. Unfortunately, I'd had only negative experiences with people who play this game, like an old roommate >have a roommate who quit playing, had a job, but got a raise, so he started playing again >suddenly he starts leaving work early to play more WoW >doesn't pay rent or bills for 2 months, asks me for money but I say no >starts eating all my food in fridge, says he'll pay for groceries, but ends up buying beer instead >doesn't take showers, does not clean up after himself, leaves around shit stained underwear in corners of his room and says "will do laundry later" >tell him to get out and he moves back into his mom's trailer
Hunter Peterson
> it's the player's responsibility to balance the game with their life
People can't do this - especially kids. That's why we have a government to protect people from themselves.

Now it isn't I'm sure but back at the end of BC it was a lot and that was only counting my main rogue and alt hunter /played, add all the time from the level 34 dwarf warriors named ģimlėè on Bumblefuck (PvP) left to rot in Hillsbrad Foothills, or that 19 twink rogue you spent 3 hours on every Sunday morning in STV trying to get that fishing tourney trinket. It's probably closer to 200 days over 4 years
But yeah I know that's not a lot compared to some people which is sad when you really think about it
Caleb Phillips
eh I play like 8 years (now on privates of course) and I don't feel addicted. I also think that the mentioned by you illegal drugs should be legal.

Hello fellow nerds!
Come to Bleeding Hollow-US and join the best world PvP guild in WoW.
>there was a crazy Australian that had a news story did over him because of how obsessed he was with vanilla wow >Maybe a month after that he joined my guild
He was a pretty cool guy
Connor Gomez
That's because it wasnt cartoony faggotry and the world actually felt big + dangerous.
The pace of leveling was brutal, but that's because the focus was more on the social aspects of the game (at least with classic) than "hurr durr kill 5 pigs and get a prize XD"
Jaxson Brooks
Runescape was better.
Kayden Morris
>old WoW >only pure master specs such as prot warrior, combat rogue or resto shaman are able to perform greatly in raids, healer classes who tryto dps are pathetic at it >if you want to get loot, you will have to work hard and communicate with other people, and then you can make your character incredibly strong >lower levels and even other 60s without gear will admire you and strive to be like you >and if you want to do PvP, you won't have to put up with arena pillarhumping bullshit and will instead crusade into Hillsbrad to crush your enemy faction, see their quest hubs razed to the ground and hear the lamentations of their lowbies
>nu-WoW >hurr all specs matter, bring the player not the class, down with single-role privilege, classes who can both dps, tank and heal will now out-dps those who only can dps! perfectly fair equality! >all loot for everybody! free legendaries! free stuff for everyone! no one deserves to be special or important, even if he works hard >leveling takes less than one week, and you can get bis-geared in a month >PvP is shoehorned into designated BG's, arenas and "PvP zones" like ashran, World PvP is not allowed because ganking is mean and it makes people sad so it's a big no-no
Fucking liberals ruined my favorite game
Easton Parker
World PvP.
We don't do much rated PvP. Years ago there was a horde guild on this realm that was massive, all they did every day was attack Stormwind and other alliance cities etc.
We made our guild in response in order to protect our cities and kings etc. At first we had to resort to guerilla warfare tactics because of the massive size discrepancy between our raids but eventually we grew strong enough to not only stop their advances on the alliance but we turned the ride and brought war to the horde and their cities, they are still here but they are pretty broken and beaten.
*sips tea* *fucks a dog in the ass* *jumps out of a window and breaks neck on the ground*
honestly I fucking hate it when people add that on. It's like some way that morons try to make themselves sound more cultured and intelligent.
Gavin Cruz
Also from where the meme of "Globlins intelligence is on decline" come from ? i don't remember being mentioned never in the canon lore

I have spent almost all of my teenage years on this game, and then later met someone from the game that caused so much trauble i have never dealt with, and will ever deal in my life ever i believe.. it's unbelievable if i think about where i would be if i've never played this game, my life would be very different just because of those situations, so so weird
David Ortiz
You can't blame a company that just wants to earn as much money as possible. It's your own weak mindedness that is responsible for it, if WoW is strong enough to fill the void in your life you can only look at yourself.
Nolan Murphy

Riot their garbage game called League of Legends is just a timesink. Its a pvp only game that you play together with 4 others. But usually you play with random 4 others vs random 5 others which of course is complete aids and for masochists. I don't even get it why so many people enjoy that crap. It's retarded to lose because of someone else just dicking around which is what happens most of the time in those type of dota like games.
On top of that Riot is the most smugg and lazy game dev that I've ever encountered. You can't even save replays locally even though I read that they promised that stuff 6 years ago. I don't even get it why they are constantly pushing their esports crap if their engineers can't even make a replay function. Probably explains why in that esport you only see the same 20 or so characters out of the 120. The same applies to any other kind of game like this. Be it League, DotA or smite or whatever it is all the same garbage filled with garbage people.
I've played these kind of games with irl mates and it is just not fun. Often one is much better than the others and then you get this internal friction and irritation that sometimes gets expressed sometimes not but you know it is there and overall it just makes for a miserable time with real life friends. I've had to tell someone that I'm not going to play these types of games with him because most of the time one of us gets pissed because one underperforms or you just get the guy who dicks around in your team. And if the enemy gets a guy who is just dicking around it is not really fun either. The game is just not fun 90% of the time. Main reason these kind of games are popular are because of some kind of masochistic gambling addiction.
Jack Powell
World of Warcraft is shit nowadays, if you get addicted to it now there is something wrong with you, not the game.
Nolan Ramirez
It really should be banned. I knew a smart guy. Engineering student. Dropped out to play wow.
Ian Miller
I had 1100 days played on my original mage back in WOTLK that I created in Dec 2004. That was 1 character. I know several other people with similar time. One of my friends had like 1500 days played when he quit in MOP on his main character.
I'll say it again, 130 days is NOTHING.
Liam Walker
...
Jack Phillips
I'm playing vanilla WoW now.
The PvP is bloody amazing. In addition to your usual class set of skills, you have dozens of engineering gizmos, world items or consumables. It gives PvP more depth than in any addon.
Aaron Reyes
Wow is as addictive as carrots or tea.
You're a fucking retard to compare it to the heavy set drugs listed.
