We all play these games for different reasons. Quit with the judgemental bs.
Sorry but has been studied pretty much a lot the reason why NEETs play MMORPGs more than any other genre, let alone basic psychology facts like most videogames work like perfect skinner boxes. And a huge portion of people between 25-35 and our current generation of teenagers are in fact facing clinical depression and stuff like isolation (staying home at videogames) doesn't exactly help. Is not being merely judgemental, is just one of the many saddening statistics of our modern society, globalized world and the escapism that videogames offer.

Specially the point about NEETs, need more info, check the documental "Love Child" for example, a clear documentary on the pandemic that is videogame addiction in South Korea and by extension countries like japan and other developing countries.
And my grade thesis was a bit about psychology of gamers in relationship with learning processes and yes, found a lot of evidence for a subportion of the subjects (NEETs mostly) which presented several psychological disorders that were only reinforced by their exposition to videogames, MMORPGs and MMOs in general being the most recurrent "drug".

Saying it was full, would be too much, but is a pretty considerable part of the population of these games.
