This game is worse than heroin. I had a mistake once of giving my account to my nephew as a birthday gift. My sister doesnt speak with me anymore. The game is optimized to get you addicted. The main goal of the creators of the game is that you spend the maximum amount of time playing it. The size of the world for example is optimized so that you can run for the longest time from one side to the other without getting pissed and leaving the game. The game itself is an infinite grind without a goal. They just make any effort to keep you there without any particular long-term purpose.
What you get addicted to is dopamine - a little pleasure hormone that is broadcast around your brain when you receive a reward. This is to let your brain know that you did something good. In normal life you dont get rewarded so often because of real-life constraints. In wow you get rewarded little-by-little every time you kill a little or a big monster or play a player-versus-player game. So you get a little puff of dopamine every five minutes. Our brains are not ready to handle this. This is worse than heroin for them, because soon you discover that you cannot leave this little series of puffs. An addiction develops.
I played this game since 2005. I quit a few months ago and had horrible headaches for a few weeks. The same happened to several my friends. So if you are buying this "product" for someone its better be your enemy. In my opinion they should make this game illegal or put a tax on it like on tobacco or alcohol. At least the government should (and believe me will!) put a warning on this game about its addictive nature. At some point heroin was legal but eventually the law caught up with it.
