I honestly don't understand people. Just don't buy the fucking game then.

You're taking about wow. That's like telling a junkie not to buy their next fix.

Tell me about it. This was a long time ago but I remember one of my friends couldn't even go a day without doing his dailies. He wasn't even interested in WoW anymore, he was playing a bunch of other games. But he absolutely had to login every day just to do his dailies then log out and play the game he actually wanted to play.

This went on for months. When we asked him why, he would just say he didn't want to miss out and fall behind. Bro, you aren't even interested in the game anymore...

This is what I've been doing with Eve Online for about 10 years. I login every couple months just to make sure my training queue isn't empty. I don't even know how to pilot any of the ships I'm trained in now.

Hey, I finally kicked my WoW habit.

I mean I started FFXIV right after, but it's a start!

Just keep it to one character. FFXIV gates your reward endgame. You can't just farm as much as you want. So you don't have to spend too much time keeping up.

But if you start running multiple high level characters you have a problem.

We need a rehab MMO for them that gets them the same high but is easy to unhook from.
