Getting to know your addiction/craze for WoW and to remove it.

[AngshumanSSJV]

Hey all,
We all like to play World of Warcraft, don't we? Surely we do, otherwise this forum wouldn't have been there today. But, do we really know how much are we indulging into it? Maybe not. Man doesn't find his own weaknesses, there are many people who, when are unable to play WoW either due to technical/personal/parental/other issues, throw a tantrum, and this addiction is so dangerous that we hardly know when we've been coiled in by it, actually addiction to WoW is far worse than addiction to cigar/wine/porn, because in that the person eventually gives up. But in WoW, he wastes his life fully without even knowing what is he doing. Anyways, I got some points on how can you recognize if you're addicted to WoW, and if you are, how to get rid of it.Ask those questions to yourself.

Q.1) Do you do WoW raids almost everyday?
Q.2) Do you keep counting how much time do you have to endure your life before you get to play your favourite MMORPG?
Q.3) Do you often keep thinking of your character, and game related stuff even when you aren't playing?
Q.4) Do you feel the craze to keep on playing WoW whole night without sleep?


If your answer is yes for Q.1/Q.2/Q.3/Q.4 or yes to all-YES YOU ARE ADDICTED TO WOW, GET RID OF IT!!

What you should do-
1) The first thing- Get some friends maybe boy or girl or whatever. People live alone with no social life are the worst-hit victims of this insane game.
2) Second thing- Take up a sport/hobby/other. Anything which you'd like compared to other things, do it, you'll soon find no time for WoW and will start having fun in whatever you do ^^
3) Third thing- Keep yourself busy, most people play WoW just because they find time, and waste it idly.
4) Fourth thing- Ask yourself "Is life eternal? No, Is life a way too long? No. THEN WHY THE HELL AM I WASTING MY TIME WITH THIS STUPID GAME? WHY AM I NOT DOING SOMETHING THAT WILL EARN ME MORE AND MORE MONEY, STATUS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE I LOVE?" If you keep asking yourself like this, you'll soon be digusted of WoW.
5) Fifth thing- Interact with people who DON'T play WoW. Discuss off-topics about any other game (not an MMORPG, or you might soon get into that one)

What you shouldn't do-
1) Don't delete your WoW account character, trust me. You'll go mad, don't ever try it. Many people have suicided after this step. I mean, just don't get drastic.
2) Do not cancel your account, we know we will slowly get rid of WoW addiction. You might play sometime, while you have gametime in it.
3) Do not throw away your WoW stuff, CDs, Books, Games, Gamecards, whatever.
4) Do not cancel your account, or just delete whatever you've achieved.

If you all can follow these steps, then I am sure within 4-6 months , if not 2 you will get back your normal self. Hope this helps

Question #5 Do you say Aggro whenever someone gets upset?
Question #6 When you are driving do you find yourself looking for the num lock key on your dash board to put you in cruise control?
Question #7 Do you cut people in line and reply "Gladiators First"?

[Tankotron]

Question #8 Is your vision that of the User Interface while you are walking around in real life?

[Bloody Rayne]

Question #9 Do you wonder why you buy gas when you can just ride your mount?

Lol those are just a part of Q.3 funny thinking though

My question:

Do you realize that this is MMowned, and your making a thread under wow guides.. The last thing people want to hear is why they should quit.. It's my own life style, and I don't feel upset or anything about having this life style.

His topic is in the title if you don't want to find out how to quit don't read it.

If my answers are No, Sometimes, Not very often (I like to draw, even though it's crap ^^) and rarely only for fun is that bad? XD

[AngshumanSSJV]

No mate, you should know that if you can control yourself from playing WoW, that's good. Any other activity doesn't matter.

[keksbirne]

Since im not raidng every day (#1) and I never play through the whole night (#4) I'm not addicted.
This makes me happy, now I can play even more WoW if everything is fine!

And to this:
Ask yourself "Is life eternal? No, Is life a way too long? No. THEN WHY THE HELL AM I WASTING MY TIME WITH THIS STUPID GAME? WHY AM I NOT DOING SOMETHING THAT WILL EARN ME MORE AND MORE MONEY, STATUS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE I LOVE?" If you keep asking yourself like this, you'll soon be digusted of WoW.

Ok, so in my spare time I want to earn more money (or else I love).
- Good way to make money is selling wow stuff... damn
- Ok, I don't play wow, what else could I do... get drunk all night long, YAY!

This "guide" fails imho.

Very nice post mate . I have been playing wow for about 3 year and i guess i can answer yes to all those question but since wotlk i just lost it i dont really feel the need to play anymore so ofthen and since they almost kill all are Class by changing are talent three or the game mecanic i dont apreciate the game so much. I feel that everybody can get good gear now whit all those easy Pug raid full of NOOB so i guess the real WOW is long gone , no need for a guild anymore to have full t7 just luck anyway +Rep

Ugh, you do know that blizz is going to implent more pve material? Naxx was made to be Pugged, they wanted it to be a raid to get pepole started, Just cause you got some pieces of t7 doesnt mean you have completed the game.

I dont want noobs in tier gear, it doesnt sound right. I was watching my druid friend play earlier, as a boomkin.

In a raid, he presses the one key. If he wants to max out his dps he presses his 2 and four keys if he cant already see their icons on the bad guy.

With this, he now has 3 pieces of tier 7.

If you are saying that is right. Then this game has now become divided.

[asbest0s]

tbh there should be only 1 question,

Are you sad enough to answer those questions?
