Re: [Cataclysm] An excellent post on LFR

Why, because that is important to you? Sounds like a bunch of shoulds. Maybe overcoming a challenge in a game is the person's entertainment. Not everyone is the same and likes the same things there boss. Maybe you need to look at your life since you are generalizing.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but it seems like I hit a nerve there, hard to tell with text but your tone definitely seems defensive.

I define healthy entertainment as passive activities for enjoyment. Reading,watching movies or shows, sex, sports etc...
People make a living out of sports are fine, it defines their lives, it becomes their driving force.
A guy who works at a power plant and takes his weekly football game too seriously is creating conflict for himself.
Do you see the distinction?

People naturally have challenges facing them in life that they can't control or avoid.

If you're choosing to make them out of nothing, like from a videogame, you're either ignoring your real problems or your life is unfulfilling.

No joke, this isn't an opinion...this isn't a "different strokes for different folks" kind of thing...

Too many people are using what could be a healthy way for your mind to unwind into something they hide behind...its not good.

Fact remains, I still feel blizzard did the right thing with the LFR.
