It’s bad parenting, take the computer away, cut one of the kid’s fingers off, do something so he is unable to play

Clearly this lad needs the parental controls configured on his account.
The parents must be daft as hell to allow him to be playing like this. Trust me from someone who lost alot of time to the game, there is so much more out there than sitting on ya arse in front of the game messing about. It should be a past time, not a full time!

I used to play World of Warcraft. Pretty much since day one. and yeah 16 hour days were nothing. Yeah if you get addicted then yes you do change it really messes with you. but if you a parent and your child plays WoW (world of warcraft) cutting the addiction is SO simple. simply cut the payments to the game. no payment, no game its easy as that. thats how i cut my addiction to the game. and i agree with Kole WoW should be a past time it shouldnt become your life. If your son or daughter wants to play the game make them get a job so they have to pay for it themselves. then they have to work it out with school, work, and the game. do let your kids life revolve around a computer playing games. My childhood revolved around a computer. but doing something productive like Photoshop or making Music Videos.

I have been playing World of Warcraft for nearly 5 months now and i have a level 70 warlock, a level 70 Rouge and a level 65 Shadow Priest with all my epics, and yes it is quite a time consuming game due to the games certain features such as raids where a large group of players get together and clear a dungeon or area which can take some time maybe up to 3-4 hours max. But after hearing about this boys addiction to the game i was completely shocked at his actions but mostly shocked at the amount of time his parents had let this sick illness continue. All they had to do is either cut off his payments from his wow account or take away the computer and internet connection from him its that simple. I have myself had some bad experiences with my parents concerning wow due to the fact that i played too much than i was suppose dto but then it stuck me that i was acting like a idiot and had to change the number of hours i was playing to atleast 1-2 hours a day. you see thats the problem with some people who play wow they thing they have to play it for a ridiculously large period of time to get all the best equipment and armour ect… but what they dont realise is that if they take everything thing in popotion, they will be able to achive their targets in the game. And to those people who play wow and disagree with me i can tell you this, you my think that your doing well getting all your epics and slowing clearing all the new dungeons these new patches are providing but remember one thing, carry on like this and your all going to be stupid losers in the future with no plan, no family and no life, simple as. And to booker which i quote “and you people take this to far … mainly because your retarded.. but 16 hours a day is nothing lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ” we are the retarded ones who dont sit on our asses for 16 hours a day playing a stupid game ? well my friend id rather be “retarded” instead of spending 16 hours a day in front of a computer were i can only play 1-2 hours a day get a decent amount of quests and dungeons done and still have time to F**k my girlfriend which you probably wouldnt know about because youv probably never been laid in your life.
Thanks for listening

Hi all, I’m 17 and do spend more time than most on a PC but, again, it’s doing constructive work such as photoshopping, researching, composing music, etc. I’ve been against the cancer (yes, CANCER) known as WoW from the beginning because ever since Everquest people have had the propensity to become addicted to these games to the point that it becomes their life. Games are meant to be a diversion from the pressures of life, not to become life themselves. This kid needs professional help, he’s only reinforcing the stereotype that all games are evil things designed by Satan to suck out your soul and giving Jack Thompson more skewed, out-of-context ammunition to use in his ‘crusade’ against video games.
side note: Not all evangelical Christians (or conservatives for that matter) are as biased and condemning as Jack Thompson is…he makes us look bad.
