Way WoW Can Ruin Your Life - Number 5: Speaking in Tongues
Repeatedly shouting out Leeeeeeeeroy Jeeeeenkins in the middle of a crowded college campus, bar, or anywhere outside your local RPG/Comic book store may alienate others and in extremely rare circumstances, when someone named Leroy Jenkins is near by result in a black eye. I'll add to the list: calling people Noobs, telling girls they are even sexier than blood-elf mages, and asking random people what guild they are in. The list of odd things World of Warcraft MMORPGers have been known to say is said to be the fifth way WoW can ruin your life.
Way WoW Can Ruin Your Life - Number 4: Man Cannot Subsist on Summoned Bread Alone
Of course by summoned bread I mean pizza. Yes, we all love pizza. Yes, everyone gets too busy from time to time to cook; however, if on top of your other responsibilities you add 23 hours a week (the average) playing World of Warcraft and you might as well sell your stove. Becoming what you eat is tough to swallow as the fourth way WoW can ruin your life
Way WoW Can Ruin Your Life - Number 3: Grinding
No, not your teeth, nor up against someone of the opposite sex on the dance floor; Grinding for the non-MMORPGers out there is when a player in World of Warcraft repeats a task over and over (usually killing the same critters) in order to advance their character. The problems arise when these denizens of Azeroth attempt to grind in real life. Rarely will repeatedly sinking a wad of paper into the trash, or stepping on ants, or telling the same joke (Leeeeeroy Jeeeeenkins) actually develop your character. Grinding is the third way WoW can ruin your life, Grinding is the third way WoW can ruin your life, Grinding is the third way WoW can ruin your life, Grinding is the third way WoW can ruin your life, Grinding is the third way WoW can ruin your life, Grinding is the third way WoW can ruin your life.
Way WoW Can Ruin Your Life - Number 2: Real Money, Imaginary Items
It's one thing to pay for the game software, It's one thing to pay the monthly subscription fee, but it is a completely different thing to spend real money on in-game items. For example on one merchant site you can buy 20,000 World of Warcraft in-game gold coins for $1,298.15 real dollars. While many in the MMORPG community look down upon buying in-game items instead of earning them, with over 30,000 websites solely subsisting on the sales of in-game items, someone is buying them.

Way WoW Can Ruin Your Life - Number 1: Power Leveling and Still Can't Get it Up
A recent study has linked online gaming with decreased sex drive. Though this may be natural selection's way of ensuring that future generations will not carry the MMORPG gene, the repercussions of a rapid population decrease are catastrophic enough to merit this final warning. Limping in as the Number 1 way World of Warcraft can ruin your life...

ok the number one reason is completely retarded. If anyone actually believes that then they have no grip on reality whatsoever, games arent going to cause humans to go extinct.
Sure you do lol, that is what alot of people say at the beginning. It is called denial. WOW is not a game that lends itself to casual play over an extended period of time. The story is mundane and repetitive as is the gameplay. The hook is when you get involved in the lengthy and time consuming raids and guild interaction. Get away from it NOW!
Parents who let their kids play WOW are no better than the type who buy their kids cigarettes or let them have keggers. I am not going to blame my parents for my video game addiction, because well to be honest I am 32 years old and it is a copout to blame my problems on them, secondly when I started playing games at a young age, neither my parents or anyone else virtually knew nothing of the addictive properties of many games. I will say though, that had my parents not allowed me to play Nintendo, I probably would have not developed my addiction that I struggle with now. WOW is a curse, it is a cancer that almost destroyed my life, my marriage and my family. It took overhearing my 6 year old son telling my wife that he hates WoW, because that is all daddy ever does, to realize just how addicted to this game I was. My wife tried to tell me several times before that I was changing, but I never listened. All I can say is, that my son is not interested in gaming and I will do everything
i play this game i all the time its great dont get me wrongbut its not addicting i mean it gives you somthin to do theres nothin wrong with playing a video game..ive never ever seen a game that has been addicting and if someone is addicting to a game then there messed up in the head
