What games? Name them please lol. Generic and vague responses do nothing but attempt to save face for the person who can't answer.

You really can't compare an MMORPG to sports. There are many MANY benefits to actually playing a sport compared to playing an MMORPG lol. For starters, there is the health benefits combined with professional athletes making a job out of it. Lots of people play the sport for fun, but again... many additional benefits for doing so. If I need to explain the benefits of playing a sport (and enjoying it) versus playing a video game... mmm... somethings wrong lol. We play games for the reason of fun, that's definitely the same, but what's to keep us with this one specific game if we already obtained everything? In what way would you be able to have fun for months once you (and everyone else) have no reason to stay there specifically?
