If you can't beat em, join em. Sadly game isn't bad as ya all think. I enjoy game myself. At lvl 70 a lot to do like PvP, Dailies, Run around ganking lowbies, Farming, Heroic Dungeons, Raiding. Or just standing around chatting to people. @chuiu, not a waste of money. My brother has access to my account and has played it very often. I still raid once and awhile on weekends. In then end Candle all you can do is watch and hope that she doesn't get too into the game. Just her advice and hope she listens to ya. Gaming can be a bad habit if you do it all time. Homework, spending time with friends, going out, enjoy life should come before gaming. Your whole family plays it? Damn.. a lost cause..

I'd say you should just tell her what to watch out for and try to get her to do some other stuff. If this goes on for a few years, get her hooked on Portal or some other Source game.

Getting her hooked on heroin is the only option.

The problem isn't what she's doing, it's that you're trying to dictate what she does and doesn't do. You have to accept that she, along with the rest of your family, are their own people. They can think for themselves and make their own decisions on what they think they should be doing. While you obviously disapprove, your disapproval is not binding and you'll better off not trying to establish control over your family.

She's 7. Wow is rated T, right? So you have to be 13 to play. Your parents suck at parenting.

And even if they are not allowed to play these games you hear excessive swearing everywhere, especially schools; as well as violence. Only porn/nudity, imo, can be justified as a bad influence in a game, which WoW lacks.

My whole family - mom & sister used to play it... now it is mainly my middle brother, and my dad that play it. I got my friends hooked... They can't get enough. The only way to stop her is to steal the power cord :D
