It’s not exclusive to MMO games or anything. Although I do get the addiction of MMO games, I still play WoW but I used to have phases of playing it at unhealthy amounts of time (like over 12 years ago), but only as long as I could afford throwing money away.
The amount of times I’ve seen beggars show up on social media when a new game launches is ridiculous. Like dude, if you can’t afford gaming then you should seriously have other priorities in liffe, and probably spend the time you’d game on more productive things. Like work, to be able to afford stuff like gaming in the first place.
I feel like this would be better suited for a WoW sub like the greentext sub and not the general gaming sub.
This could be any game, and anyway, does this sub get so much traffic it’s a problem?

I played heavily back in the day I don’t think the money was ever really the problem It was the time. When I finally settled down and had a family I had to stop. $15 a month for service and $50 every 2 years for DLC isn’t really all that much money If you consider 60 hours a week of entertainment for that price a deal. If you are that close to the edge you’re going to be on the edge anyway.
Any way to stop playing is good i guess. Starving sounds like a painful alternative tho.
Yeah, kinda sounds like he should put the whole game down. That monthly sub isn’t cheap either. Shit adds up.
While monetarily the subscription is stupid expensive, several years ago blizzard added a way to pay in-game gold for an item that’s worth a month’s game time.
If this person is putting off eating to play they’re would be considered “hardcore” in my opinion. And if that’s the case, they probably have way to get around the monthly cost, or they could have bought mass time all at once on discount.
Wait. They what? I used to make bank on the auction house and always wished that was an option.
I wonder if ol’ Bafu Fatsi still exists on that server. 🤔
I would buy all the enchanting mats below a certain price, buy all the items that rewarded those mats, disenchant everything, then list all the mats much higher than I paid. Bank.
I agree with Blue. #SetGoldshireFree

This may or may not be a real screenshot, but it definitely feels accurate based on my time in the game.
Yes, people would actually starve themselves to play WoW. They will pee in diapers to not stop playing WoW. Definitely not as much now, but 15 years ago some people were seriously addicted to it.
