I can see where the problem starts with this sort of thing and the appeal of it. I, myself, would be willing to play WoW had I the money due to it being somewhere I could be recognised. Similarly, I used to go on forums and post a lot due to trying to be noticed and respected. I think it's a superiority complex or something? But I can see why peoole would play it and it's a shame they get addicted like that.
