I think it fits on the shelf next to them quite perfectly. It is, afterall, a high-quality Blizzard game.

Interesting, since I've had a great experience playing WoW. Are you saying I haven't, that I've not had fun killing huge bosses, seeing huge and amazing locations, collecting powerful weapons and armor, and doing it all with my friends? All of the things I enjoyed I actually didn't enjoy? Well thank you, good sir, for bring this to my immediate attention. These days, whenever I enjoy playing a game, I will immediately stop and think back on what I've learned here: "If you're having fun then it must be bad." [/sarcasm]

Strange. According to you, I should be failing school, be jobless, have no girlfriend, and be living in my parents basement. I raid BT three nights a week. So how am I still getting good grades, getting paid for working at a small chocolate factory, paying for the bills for my apartment, and getting laid if I'm a "no-lifer?"

Because everybody who plays WoW develops those problems, right? (Wrong.)

"Wins?" It would never be picked at if it wasn't a good and popular game. That's why there were so many anti-Bioshock vids and articles. The lack of Youtube vids of GW doesn't mean it's not unhealthy, it just means that much less people care about it.

The rest of your post pretty much ignored most of what I said already, so I'll just stop commenting for now.

As much as I'm sure it warms the heart of ArenaNet devs to see WoW bashing I'm sure... this thread is only turning into flames and bickering. So... as has happened with many of our WoW threads it's time for this to close.
