Addiction is something you must take or intake into the human body. Yes, it’s a bit technical, but if you look it up, it very well means what I explained. You can of course change the word out with obsession, but it’s still a big difference.

6. Games Are Not Addicting

World of Warcraft is a MMO that you can play online.. If you think it’s becoming a problem and your over obsessing, stop paying the game? I know many people that play this game that say they take a time out of the game and come back in a few months.

5. Mostly over Reacting

People that call this game addicting and want people to stop playing the game overact. They want to think it’s an addiction, but should blame themselves for not understanding why they like playing the game. Some people play this game to much they say, but isn’t it better then hitting the clubs and making a fuss with the law?

4. People Think Wow Gamers Are Dorks Living in Basements

Not all people that play this game live in basements. If they do, they need a shove or a kick to get them started in life. I know many people that play this game and still have lives.

Sunshine and blue skies bring positivity and joy and it's important for every woman to take full advantage of it. Even when stuck indoors, it's still possible to enjoy some good vibes. Check out these unique tips on how to make the most of the weather right at your home. Let's celebrate every beautiful day, no matter where we are.

3. Brakes up Relationships

World of warcraft is a very fun game to play with or without your spouse. Many relationships say they have been destroyed over this game. I can laugh on this, because it’s a childish way to end a relationship. Ladies you can’t tell them to stop playing world of warcraft, because you want full attention from your man. However, like I said before men should know that it’s time to give time to their wives. If your relationship ends over the game, then it’s obvious the relationship needs to stop, because if you can’t work it out each other’s wants and needs it’s worth the break up.

2. It’s Not a Drug

With drugs if you get caught buying them or selling them you go to jail. You don’t see people standing in the streets selling you world of warcraft accounts and going to jail for it. So, this isn’t an addiction. Only Drugs and Alcohol is considered a drug that could lead to an addiction.

1. You Don’t Go through Bad Withdraw

If you can’t go into withdraw over a video game. You can wish you can play it again, but you don’t need to go to rehab or go through other medicines to quit. With addictions such as heroine or crack, they give you little at a time to withdraw your addiction. You can quit cold turkey with games..

I surely can’t wait to hear all the stories my boyfriend is addicted to this game and I broke up over it. Well, if you broke up over this game, then it’s not meant to be. Does the man ever attack how much you use your cell phone? Or does he stop your shopping? Do you have a comment?

    I stopped playing WoW 2 years ago because I was neglecting my daughter. My wife continued to play. She left me for a 'friend' she met in WoW because. "I did not spend enough time with her." as she sat in front of the machine 6-9 hours a night. When I'd ask for time, she acted like I was taking her dope away. Yes, it's addicting. Yes, it destroys lives. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge it, is just another excuse for your addiction. Carry on.

    If someone plays football for 6 hours a day are they addicted to football? the answer is no, of course not. If someone plays World of Warcraft for 6 hours a day are they addicted to WoW? most people would probably say yes, but what is the difference? people Argue that activities like football are outside activities and social. one thing many people don't understand that wow is incredibly social, I'm always talking to people on wow, and to be honest if wow did not have a social side to it i would not be playing it today. I find it stupid that people Label wow as addictive but don't label any other activities such as sports addictive. And back to my first point, What makes Wow Addictive but Football not? is there any difference? NO, neither of them are addictive. You don't call Footballers addicts or sad. And on a more personal scale, i play wow quite a lot, but i am in NO WAY WHATSOEVER addicted. if my friend asks me to come outside unless i am in the middle of something then i will oblige, I play wow because it is FUN, not because I'm addicted.

    An addiction includes psychological dependency as well, what you're calling up is the historical and outdated definition of addiction that was originally coined soley for psychoactive substance addiction. Guess what - the term addiction is used to describe a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences, as deemed by the user himself to his individual health, mental state, or social life.
