Games like WoW are made to be addiction.
Video game addictions are bullshit.
Its a mental addiction, kinda like how you really really crave some chinese, you start eating and can't stop. you get full, walk away satisfied, then come back later with the same crave until your eventually burned out of it.
Same with this, Games like WoW are addicting, because it gives the user a sense of power, money doesn't mean jack shit, its 15 bucks a month, seriously thats not much. Anyway it gives the user a sense of power and control, not in reality, but into the world they are playing in.
Sure you don't think much about it, but why do people play first person shooters? Sure, a shiny gun from real life.. So what? You get to shoot people, or aliens, w/e, cool guns and shooting people, its fun isn't it? No consequences in real life, its fun, there no real, gives you a brief feel of power, makes you feel in control?
In a sense these are small things you feel, but do not notice or think of, just like when you first walk into the room, the first thing you notice are light colors such as orange, or yellow, has to do with the sun, you never notice or think of this, but its true.
Games like WoW give you a sense of power, you gain new gear, kill stuff, level up, beat players in PVP, its fun, it gives them power, and superiority. That kind of thing in real life could have dire consequences. In games? Pft, nope. its addicting, its a mental addiction, its not like a chemical addiction such as drugs.
The most these games do is shut you off from the outside world, and downgrade you physically primarily.
Thats my thoughts
