This is a video that I saw several months ago. The kid in this video is addicted to World of Warcraft. He has left school, has no job and plays 16 hours a day. His mother is honestly upset and wants this to end. STOP PAYING FOR THE ACCOUNT! WoW is a pay to play game. If he is so grown up to leave school then make him get a job. Hard to play 16 hours a day if you have a job. Hard to play 16 hours a day if your computer has been taken away! Stop blaming World of Warcraft for your bad parenting.

I am so sick of hearing that WoW is SO addictive. That is not true. WoW is SO good that people with addictive personalities will become addicted. The game is not to blame no more then Poker is to blame for those who are gambling addicts. The so-called professional in this video talks as if the internet, WoW, and technology is to blame for addicts.

Drugs and Alcohol can make a person addicted with physical needs for the substance along with the mental addiction. WoW for those addicted to it, is a mental addiction only. Mental addictions are not caused by the thing addicted to, The addiction is a personality disorder. The addict would be addicted to anything, they could be addicted to Chess or Monopoly.

The media needs a villain. In this story they make WoW to be the villain. When it is the Mom who is the villain. The Internet, WoW and technology are not Addictive. It's not like shooting up heroin where you become addicted to the substance. If you are going to blame WoW for anything, blame them for making a great game!
