    It is never a waste to have a hobby that makes you happy and doesn't cause you lasting harm. Everyone needs hobbies, we can't just work and sleep lol. As hobbies go, being a FFXI player has been a lot of fun, with very few downsides. I have friends who have hobbies like snowboarding and drinking etc. and some of them have suffered greatly for their favourite hobby. My only suffering is that there aren't any novelty /lockstyle costumes for automatons, and I can totally live with that np.

    This is true. Depends how you look at it. Would you have spent that time instead doing something more constructive to RL? Maybe, maybe not. One could easily instead spend 365 days watching TV all day. Many people use MMPORGs to rest their mind and escape reality for a while, without it you might just substitute it with something else, for better or for worse.

    If my wife ever comments on the amount of time I play, she spends the same amount of time watching TV instead. I don't see the difference.
