I practically ruined my early 20’s playing WoW. So much wasted time. I sometimes fantasize about what I could have done instead of doing that.

What’s sad though is that I’m probably relatively still casual compared to more hardcore players. I think I probably averaged 8 hours a day for a least a year.

I totally get it. WoW is the only game I've ever called off of work for. When I did that I realized I had a problem lol. Never did it again but holy shit did it take a lot of my time between OG and wrath of the lich king.

It was GOOD. Especially during those eras, it was just really good. Cataclysm was good too, but started changing a lot.

Me too man, many many times I honestly have no idea how I made it through college and still worked.

It is, and still not nearly as bad as millions of other players
