Gaming Addiction

[JackDaniels]

Ok argue that ffxiv can't be addictive because it sucks, or argue that gaming addiction is a myth conjured up by girls who can't get their boyfriends to turn off WoW so they can get attention too, argue that i only made this thread because i'm on a high horse, whatever. My point has been made.

All I see in this thread of yours is:
"MY OPINION > YOUR OPINION"

And you are entitled to your opinion, even though it wasn't constructive at all.

Jack another thing just because a girlfriend cannot pull her bf from tv screen, computer monitor, or their ds doesn't mean the player is addicted. There are underlying factors to every circumstance, and calling something an addiction because of observed actions and pre conceived notions is not correct either.

Unless you are a professional psychologist and deal specifically in addictions you should not be telling people what they could be doing with their spare time.

I spend about 5-6 hour 3-5 days a week paying xiv. I would not consider this a problem. I am gainfully employed, have a family, a house, and have social and familial obligations. Now with my spare time i choose to take up gaming specifically xiv because I enjoy it. My fiance she watches tv and is pregnant and not very mobile, so we are limited in what we can do. So when she watches tv I am bored, because I do not like tv. As well After 10+ hours at work the last thing I want to do is read or anything that remotely resembles my job.

How does your post and opinions relate to me? it doesn't and most the people bar very few as well. Like I said unless you're a professional in the field it would be better if you do not come to a forum like this to bring up these topics. You are better served in a blog or other social media like facebook.
