ITS JUST AGAME, if people have no self control its the same with every single game, just like people who play Guitar Hero for 9 hours straight, all the same.

video games are video games
That's true, but then again I don't see myself playing any shooter for more than an hour. I love those games, but I simply get tired of it very quickly AND it's easy to just log off.

With WoW it's hard to log off when you're in an instance or doing arena with a lot of other people, because they actually rely on you. If you flake out, you fuck them over and you end up getting kicked out of the team/guild and miss out on the high end gear and stop making progress. So to really get the most out of it, you've got to be online for at least a few hours. But I guess this is a MMORPG thing, not just WoW. It's just very time consuming.
