Indepth analysis of WoW-player syndrome

After months of passive submission to living with a WoW player, I am now very eager again to share my rant on the evils of World of Warcraft. Most of the time, it is not my business to worry about the wellbeing (ie hygiene) of any WoW player. And I understand how "dungeons intances" is like a black hole that just keep on sucking ones lives and times into nothingness and nothing comes out of it. Alright, one might argue that fun and a sense of "accomplishment" (after buying a shiny white horse that cost nine hundred and ninety-nine gold coins) come out of this game. But based on my scrutiny of two WoW players who are or were once close to me so far, I see agitation, constant preoccupation, and irritation written all over their faces. I assumed these as symptoms of "WoW-player" syndrome.

My understanding of these symptoms comes from the fact that WoW-players spend so much time with their Warcraft characters that they graduatlly develop some sorts of emotional attachment to their characters. They probably think about how that new leather armor really suite their characters, or worry about how their horde is going to survive the next big attack, or how much more gold their character needs to buy the next epic sword (ie that lucrative purple item)

I believe that the constant preoccupation of WoW-players with their hordes is the major cause of their numerous symptoms. So here are two examples that I am not likely to forget (And this will happen again and again)

Example 1:
Me, "Hey, some food in the oven getting burnt, should I turned that off?"

Wow-player busy by the computer and no reply.

Me again," Hey, some food is getting burnt here"

Wow-player still busy by the computer and no reply.

Me again, "Should I turn it off?"

Wow-player then pounded on the table irritably and shout, "YES! I HEARD THAT!!! $#@# "

Me...(thoughts: wow...I didn't deserve that...)

Example 2:
Me, "Can you check that email I forwarded to you about a used cage my friend found for your pet and let me know if you want it? My friend needs to know right away"

WoW-player who just finished eating late dinner by the labtop, "Okay...I will check it out after I finish this instance."

Me, "okay"

(Two hours later)

Me, "Did you check?"

Wow-player, "No"

Me, "Did you fisnish that instance?"

WoW-player, "DO I REALLY REALLY HAVE TO CHECK IT TODAY?"

Me, "It's better if you do, it's a time-sensitive matter."

WoW-player, "DO YOU REALLY WANT ME TO CHECK IT TODAY?"

Me, "Yes, it doesn't really take that much time to look at the picture of a pet cage, is it?"

Me...(Thoughts: why am I begging this person to let me do him a favor?)

Sigh...one day, I am going to publish a book called "How WoW turn you psycho"
