Why would you want to stop your friends from doing something they obviously enjoy?
-

I doubt they are sucking dick for a WOW fix, thats the only point I feel friends should step in.
-
-
because theyre letting a game control the outer aspects of thier life, when your playing 10 hours a day, you start neglecting thing like family, friends, work, etc.
-
The thing is when one is an adult thats the decision one makes. You can't MAKE an adult do anything, it doesn't work that way.
-
well thats the point, a lot of adults start playing and get addicted, yet dont acknowledge its an addiction. the others around them clearly see its affecting their life and relationships etc. When a game has that kind of power over you then its best to back off or put a time limit on it. and a true friend who sees thier friend will help out as much as he can.

Have you tried telling them they are retards and then introducing them to a real addiction like midget porn or heroin?
-
fucking agreed, my GF is in the same boat.
-
Ohhhh. I see, your opinion on this subject is starting to make sense now. Its not your place to tell your friends or girlfriend how they should conduct their lives. If it is making them happy it is making them happy. Once they get bored of it, they will have either have fucked their life up beyond repair and seek help (highly doubtful) or they will move on to something else.
If they don't want to go to school or work or hang out anymore thats their porogative. If it makes them happy I say leave them be.-
what kind of fucked up logic is that? if I see someone I love destroying themselves im going to help them out as much as I can, if people had that point of view on me and I never got help, who knows where Id be. When you see a loved one, fighting with an addiction, be it crack or anything else, you dont leave them to fight it alone on the floor, you help.
-
But they are not fucking up their lives. They are not engaging in any kind of risky behavior to play WOW.
-
losing careers, relationships, sleep, etc is not fucking up thier life?
-
So you dictate what your friends lives should be like now? I am sorry dude but if you try to tell somebody what is best for them, that makes you in the wrong.

You don't have to agree with it and you can tell your friends that you don’t , my point WAS..you can't and shouldn't MAKE your friends do anything as I clearly stated earlier.

actually you said its thier life and leave them be if they want to destroy it. also there is no real way to MAKE them quit other than trying to convince them that they are destroying their own life and they need to back off.
-
-
-
what?!?!?!?? If i see someone throwing thier life away over an addiction and try to help im in the wrong?
-
SO what are you going to do anyway? Give your GF/Friend whoever an ultimatum of some kind? Stop playing WOW or ______? Like I said you can’t make somebody stop anything, because if they are addicted they will get defensive and you are left with no choice but to go through with your ultimatum, and I am guessing there is no rock bottom with a WOW addiction so eventually when they finally get bored with it they will move on and you will be left without that GF/Friend whoever
-
actually i put a time limit on my girls play time, its not an ulimatem, its a compromise. so far everythings pretty smooth, a lot better than it was.

You're bouncing back and forth between two different arguments here instead of sticking to arguments.
First, is it a good idea to advise somebody if you think they are hurting themselves? You don't seem to think so, which most people would probably disagree with, but I wonder if you aren't arguing this just because you think WoW is fine. That is, if somebody was an alcoholic or into something that could land them in jail, you may not say somebody is so wrong for trying to help them out.
Second, and separate, is the question of whether a WoW addiction can qualify as "fucking up their lives." You don't seem to think so, despite what others see as clear evidence to the contrary. After all, if losing jobs and relationships isn't screwing up your life, what is? Are you thinking strictly of physical harm, or the harming of one's actual bodily life rather than social/professional/etc?-
People lose jobs and end relationships all the time for wide variety of reasons, things like that are NOT screwing up ones life, they are a change in ones life.
Screwing up ones life is sticking an AIDS infested needle into your dick to get high, or going to prison because you robbed a CVS.

As much as I like WoW sometimes, I'm glad that I just can't bring myself to play it for more than a few hours at a time...after that, I just get bored.
Now shit like normal CRPGs and JRPGS, those I can get stuck playing for the better part of a day several days in a row. I fear when FFXII comes out.

He doesn't have any right to dictate the choices of his friends. If it's their will, he has no right to infringe on it.
But if they're turning themselves into pathetic scum-sucking losers, he has every right to ditch them and find better friends that aren't total wastes. And he has no duty to be polite about it.

Get them into a real addiction like herion.

THIS is the correct answer.

You have no obligation to improve your friends' lives if they're losers. Drop the dead weight and hang around decent, non-pathetic people.
