Addictions with WoW

So I am apart of the 13 million people that are addicted to WoW, I have only one question, WHY ARE WE? The game is fun and all but if you really think of it, the whole concept of the game is to get to 85, then get gear? What then? What do we get out of it? I have thought of this many times but I still seem to be addicted to the game.




There are 2 aspects of the game there is PVE, and PVP, I dont understand why people like the PVE aspect the outcome is the same, computers will always act the same, but PVP is by far the best it is based upon what other people react to your reaction, very competitive and by far very fun. Please discuss on why we are so eager to keep on playing games that have no outcomes.

    Because it's better than living life when I know I'll die and lose anyway?

    I used to be addicted, one of you haha. I stopped playing for a while during my school studies(saved me a lot of time and money). It is a great game though, obviously if it has 13m players

    I recently got into WoW. Not that addicted though. I only play when my friends are on. I play on a private server cuz I don't want to spend money for a game. Still, very nice game.

    don't ever think about a concept of a game because there is no goal that will satisfy you

    The part about games that always gets me hooked is looting gear. I don't know. Any game that has gear you can find from battles and a good in game economy, gets me hooked.

    Vanilla WOW was vastly superior to what we have now

    I played it for 6 years and I just gave up like that after one of the patches in Cataclysm, it becomes an addiction if youre playing it for the competitive aspect or something like that. I played it with like 8 friends and we always had a blast, even went gladiators with our 5's team. I just stopped one day cus i couldn't carry on and so did my friends. So I cant say if i was THAT addicted to the game or to just spending time with my friends haha

    I guess you can sell your character in the end. It is all about profit

    I've never been there. Can't say that I'm not addicted to other games though

    I can't really say I'm addicted. There's weeks when I do feel like playing, but then the next week I'll get bored, and not play for more than an hour. I think I was more addicted a couple years ago when the content was better.
