That's very true, but playing a game was never MEANT to give you an education or money.
Would you complain if you devoted a few hours a week to playing chess? Or going hiking? Or going to a play or other entertainment event? Or reading a book?
I understand the value of getting out and doing things, but in the end, anything that's entertainment is just that - - entertainment. It was never meant to be anything more. If it entertains you and you enjoy it, there's no reason to regret it.

well i believe that your original statement was that if you're enjoying a game then it shouldn't matter, but people are addicted to wow. i don't think you quite understand that. they will drop school/stay home all day and play wow because it is a well made game. yeah they're enjoying it, but if you look at it from our perspective then it is wasted time.
no one regrets playing a game that was fun and didn't cut into your personal time, however they will regret having fun if it cuts into personal things.
maybe you just don't get that people are addicted and they're enjoying themselves TOO much
if i went hiking every day and skipped all my classes just to go hiking and i'm addicted to doing nothing but hiking then yes, it is a problem.
