What is wrong with WoW.....

The following explain it all
The problem that I had with World Of WarCrack is this,
From lvl 1 to 50, you are pretty much fine Soloing in and working with PUG* (Pick Up Groups) Groups on Instances. However as soon as you hit 50, the instances that you where PUGing it before start turning rather nasty. If you are not in a guild by then, you better be in one by lvl 50.
Anyways, you finally get up to lvl 60, and about the only thing that you have left if your 40 man raids. A 40 man raid is not some thing you just PUG. You are normally need to get in an End Game Guild which does mainly 40 man raids. If order to do get loot for those raids, you need to attend them on a regulare basis.
And if you are away for too long from the game, due to Real Life reasons (Eg. Job, Family, Social Life) then you will get kicked out of the guild.
Now forty man raids are typically 6 hours. Allow 5 hours for the actual raid, allow another hour to organise it. And normally a good End Game guild will be doing AT LEAST 2 of these each week. Therefore, you will need to put aside at least 12 hours each week just for your guild.
I was playing WOW. I got a character up to lvl 55 and I realised that there is no sence in my completing up to lvl 60 as I barely have enough time to play the game now, let alone finding the dedicated 6 hours per Raid.
Over all, I have seen WOW and Other MMO's just screw peoples lives up. My sister is a WOW Junkie, and I lost count the number of time I have seen her get ****ed off at some one else in the house because they are consuming bandwidth while she's in the middle of molten core.
Like see accused me of being addicted to Bit Torrent once. Ha! I could say the same thing about her and World Of warcraft. At least I showed at the dinner table. My sister would show up when she finished her raid or quest or whatever, and by then dinner is the left overs sitting the microwave (and there has been a few times where every one else has gone to bed)
The game is a time sink.
If you value your social life, then don't play it.
I just don't like how people treat MMO's as a matter of Life and Death, and in the end all they got to show for it is a lacking social life and potbelly.
