I think I'm finished; a new player's final thoughts

[Afania]

I was deeply disturbed by your response.

I had to re-read your post multiple times, but did finally reach the conclusion that you were in fact talking about an online roleplaying game.

I think this opens a window for all of us as to why several here would mount opposition to a genuine call for help such a Crevox’s.

Clearly your sentiments above are a reflection of your own personal sacrifices you’ve made over the years to “enjoy” this game.

And selfishly, you can’t bear to see others reach their goals without incurring the same losses.

Allow me to state with as much sarcasm as can possibly be mustered:

Your version of the game sounds absolutely thrilling…

I'm not sure what's so "disturbed" about, every person have full control of their life, and choose what's important to them. Some value work over family, some value family over work. Some value accomplishment in a hobby(video game/making a film/owning a company). I have no issue with others trying to reach their goal, but I don't think the goal would value the same if the obstacles aren't the same.

Every choice you make, you make a sacrifice. If you choose to work overtime for more money and better position, you sacrifice your health and your family. Everyday when you make a choice to do "something", you always ended up sacrificing something else for it.

Do I sacrificed something for video games? I'd be lying if I say no, after all, it's thousands of hr in my life gone, spent on video games. But so do you, and everyone else who plays any video game title. Even if you spent only 30hr in your entire life on video game, it's still a sacrifice, just that the sacrifice is smaller.
