No. You need to find bigger things to worry about. What is the point of wondering about shit like this if it isn't as big as your sister dating someone. Unless she has some serious addiction problem and you have a serious real problem, you leave.

There we go.

WoW is addictive, I know, I play it, and gaming is very bad for ones social skills, I know this also from experience, while I enjoy gaming, I know it's consequences, and I do it anyway, have you been reading any of this? She's 7, and playing an MMO.

You have a serious trolling problem, you're a dickhead, now stop singling me out and flaming me.

Seriously EcHo, leave me alone, as of now, you are 100% ignored, so scream as many obscenities as you like, I'm done listening to your verbal shit.

He can't actually leave his own topic if he started the discussion to ask for some advice to rid his sister's addiction.

The implication was that Candle was wrong to post this thread in the first place.

Well, you could always try to manipulate the addiction. It is, in significant part, through videogames that I derived my original inspiration in 'getting into' drawing, math, and literature, and especially, eventually, programming. I've learned, relative to my previous knowledge base, a lot about how things work internally, on computers, through playing/mapping/reading about/modding StarCraft and Diablo II.
But then again, my response to the situation is based on my similar agreement with other posters; I've no qualms with the idea of gaming at an early age. ;P

Well my main worry of the whole thing is the people in the intertubes, I'm sure she'll get over WoW on her own, if she doesn't whatever, but the fact that she's 7 and talking to people everywhere... I'm just a worried sibling, but I guess that's not allowed, I'll just reject my family and eventually go to my school with an assault rifle.

Yeah you go do that.
You're fucking 15.
Welcome to the real world though. You can't prevent anything with NO ACTUAL ACTIONS.

I don't think the problem is so much her playing WoW as it is your reaction to it.
If she stops playing WoW, it has to be because she herself has made a conscious decision that it isn't what she should be doing.
Let me be clear: I'm not suggesting that you don't even bother trying, but rather that there's no point in beating yourself up over it.

Get her a boyfriend. She'll be addicted to buttsecks and forget WoW.

@Paravin, so wrong.

My niece is 6 years old and already wants to play WoW so in the end Candle not much that can be done. Not like I really care about it, if she wants to game she can.

In the end were only human, if something looks good we will be or have an addiction to it.

Ok whats with all the little kids joining the internet! D:<

I remmeber when everyone was 14+, NOW I CAN SAY DIFFERENTLY!

candle, if you can't beat em, join em.

candle you know what? its not worth it man. Wow has taken lives already and i mean if u do get your sister off of it i think she'd like... relapse or somethign

Show her the episode from South Park "Make Love, not WarCraft" episode. Later in the episode, she'll see how bad their health is.

WoW is the cancer that is killing your family. You are the cancer that is killing /b/. /b/ is the cancer that is killing the internet. The internet is the cancer that is killing humanity. Humanity is the cancer that is killing the earth.
YOUR FAMILY IS KILLING THE EARTH!!1

a) Nowhere there did you actually say (or even imply) that his family was killing anything.
b) The transitive property doesn't apply in this case; if a is killing b who is killing c, a is preventing b from killing c, and therefore actually helping c.

Hai newfag. /a/ is <- that way. Why'd you give up your old name, noble?

I don't know about that. Playing WoW actually increased my social skills, as in my ability to talk and form ideas to be put in a spoken way. Before I would always just mess up words, and since I played that (since I was always talking to my guildmates), my speaking skills increased. Now since I've stopped playing, I dont talk to people as much, and it's going back down again.

Now Now, /b/ Isnt killing the internet. /b/ Preserves

JUST KILL HER NOW.

And send me the body plz.
