So basically 12 million people on multiple continents are all socially inept? It’s the same with online dating. I constantly get grief over the fact I met my GF, OF 3 YEARS NOW, on myspace. It does not matter that she only lived three towns over, or the fact that we now live together or the fact that we are very happy. The response is always the same. People make out like you have some kind of disorder. Yet, HOW many people are currently on dating services? I promise you its more then 12 million world wide. Does no one else see the irony in this? Wow is not some local nerd pehnom. MILLIONS of people play, of every age, and come from every background. I respect your right to be clueless as to why 12 million people play wow. If you’re a wow hater, please respect my right to not give a rat’s ass what you think. A persons general Ignorance about the world around them says something about that person does it not? Lastly for all the haters, I have a homework assignment for you. Do the WoW community a favor and look up hypocrisy in the Webster’s dictionary. With that new found knowledge in your pocket I want you to do two things. 1) Make a list of how many times you fit that definition in one day. 2) Ill help you with the first item on your list. When you tell a WoW player to grow up and join the real world. Realize your misunderstanding of what the “REAL WORLD” is makes you the poster child for the word in your pocket.

I waste a ton of time railing around town on my bike wasting fuel=money. I want to get into racing bikes. I guess one day I can be as good as the guy that doesn't play wow to go "racin." I'll tell you one thing, if you are enjoying your wow time it's got to be the cheapest form of entertainment I've encountered. I've shit thousands of dollars into ice hockey, paintball, motorcycles. Easily hundreds of times the cost/hour. When I was playing paintball I had to really limit myself from shooting over $80 in one day. I can easily spend $25/day in fuel riding my bike. All of these things have one thing in common. They aren't going to get me anywhere ever (well the bike can move me physically I guess). They are just a way to pass the time. In conclusion the haters are probably just bad at gaming and can't come to grips with it. Everyone is better than everyone else.
