On Ultimate Off Ultimate

Playing a video game for 18 hours a day does not seem weird to you? Actually doing any task for 18 hours straight is abnormal.


Why are you bringing this up? Nobody is forcing anybody to do anything.

Lol, are you trolling? You seem to know nothing about what you are talking about and seem to be having a kneejerk reaction towards headlines.

Perhaps I am an outsider to the MMO subculture of assumed norms. Enlighten me what I do not know.

The world first prog raiding scene exists in more games than just this one, and these players very much know how to look after themselves. It's not simply playing the game, but rather competing in a global event (albeit not officially endorsed). These players have schedules, take steps to look after health, and take the time to study and train both before and during the event. Think of it like esports, or even actual sports. Do you think its abnormal or unhealthy for a professional athlete to be committing full time to their sport before or during a big event?

As for your ridiculous comment about nobody caring about the weapons, I don't even know how to wrap my head around that one. You sound like an out of touch parent looking down on a video game because of an article written in cosmopolitan. In reality, these weapons matter in-game to players, they are trophies, and if I see someone with those weapons, I'd get excited knowing they have beaten ultimate and that they are an awesome player. So I guess I care about the weapons despite never having a hope of owning one (I'd certainly try though).
