I see posts about getting a job and finding a gf rather than playing games. Jobs, which I have, shouldn't even be mentioned since you should be trying to make money anyway, it's the only way to live in this world. Then when it comes to having a girlfriend or boyfriend, there are people out there who simply aren't looking for a relationship. Some of the couples I see today really disgust me anyway. Happy couples who have been married for years are sweet.
But yeah, if it came to spending 10 hours everyday playing an MMO then it's a waste of time. Yet for those of us who have a job, workout, etc. we'll eventually find out that we'll have a few hours leftover each day with nothing to do with it. Now we all know we can't be going out to the city with friends everyday because it costs money that not everyone has. So in the end we WILL have free time to ourselves, and if we're posting in this forum then we all chose to spend this free time by playing games. If I were to play my piano or guitar rather than play games then I would never have this problem, but instead I want to find an mmorpg to interact with other people and have fun.
