Default A Question for all levels of Gamers

I have been playing WoW for about 2 years and my wife has been playing since the game was released and I have to say it is such an amazing game, I cant believe I waited so long to play it. Truth be told, I was skeptical of having to pay 15 bucks per month to play it and have to pay for the game/expansions. The question I have is for both casual and hard core gamers. I want to know, if you could make money while playing WoW, or any other online game. Would you be interested? I am not trying to sell anything I am just curious as to how many people would like to make enough money on the side, that would pay for your subscription and any expansion releases, maybe a new video card or monitor etc etc. And if this were possible how much would you have to make per month in order to make it interesting? Let me know what you guys/gals think.

* this is not a get rich quick scheme and I am not trying to sell anything. This would be for something that is outside the mmorpg game that could be done in spare time to help fund your gaming

i'll pass~ reasons below

1) Playing games is for entertainment and enjoyment.
2) Getting paid to play a game is nice, but then you will be "forced" to play that same game for long periods of time.
3) We all know a game will get bored if played excessively.
4) From then on, gaming becomes a "job" - boring, tedious, and downright frustrating.

play any games you want, any time you want, and quit/switch games whenever you want....that is how it should be imo.

Er, well you say "getting paid to play games" then end with "this is something to do outside of games".

Contradiction?

Though if I had to guess you're offering money for someone to level your account or something. If so the Chinese already beat ya to it and probably for better prices. xD

No, I'd rather get a job that is more beneficial to society.

Paper or plastic?

Fired for doing drugs, next guy comes in.

Paper or plastic?

Not that I condone playing video games for money anyways, unless it'll pay me more than a real job.

You know how many people a year those machines kill? Know how many a manual brick maker kills? Just one. Himself.
