How do I know? the fact she complains about "have to" do some activity in x amount of time, usually some high bar goal in regards to gathering. She does stuff like that even though she heavily dislikes it, that is overcomiting
And that's exactly what I was talking about. We all know people like this.

If you're going to overcommit to the game, and not have time to eat, bathe, do laundry, go to work, etc then that goes right into addiction criteria.

Notice when people complain that they either have no time to setup statics, or people in statics complain that people keep bailing on them.

I've already played a MMORPG where I was bugged from dawn to dusk to play with people (that I would logout of chat), and people getting upset that I would play with some and not others. Overcommitment is simply not healthy.
