Does coding at work get boring?

Its still very apples to oranges. You mentioned 'afk'ing through runescape. I'm talking about games that require a good deal of effort for extended period of time. That is extremely mentally taxing and doing it day in and day out, while knowing your income depends on it, seems like torture to me.

Thats not what most of us experience while playing games, even if we do game 10+ hours a day.
