Whenever I see things like this I'm always reminded of the loading screen text WoW has itself:

"Remember to take all things in moderation, even World of Warcraft"

and

"Bring your friends to Azeroth, but don't forget to go outside Azeroth with them too"

... I don't mean to be insensitive and maybe there is a larger issue here but isn't it an issue of self control, I've played the game for 8 years, its never stopped me graduating university, getting a job, house, having relationships etc.

Highly doubt companies like Blizzard are these evil corporations, twisting their mustaches and wanting this sort of thing to happen. They just made the game they wanted to make.

I'll reluctantly watch the video and I do feel sorry for those who have problems, I hope they manage to address them but perhaps its more the person and not the game?

Seems that WhiteTigerShiro got this pretty much under control. the whole addiction thing is getting out of proportion. now you can get addicted to walking apparently.
Ive been there, with a different game than WOW (wow didnt exist then), but the idea is the same. Im glad i decided to take a hold of myself. And i have to say it is solely a matter of your own will. if you do not want to change no amount of externam abuse will change you. sure they can lock you up for life without acess to a computer, wont make you stop wanting to play that game though. will is you using logic to prove yourself why you should not do that.
