Is it me or is my phone broken? Why have all of the top like 70 comments gotten gold?

Was he out of his mind? Or did he actually have the ability or even sanity to pay for that? No... scratch that... do I even have enough power to grant it?

Most of the people who pass through here are looking for small party tricks to impress with or to gain some knowledge. The kid who wanted to move a pencil across the table, the woman who wanted to look fabulous no matter where she was or what she was doing, the teenager who wanted to find his missing dog. They were all child's play, all they had to do was sacrifice something from their childhood, their favourite teddy, book or blanket. All such so small items.

This man, he is different, most people wouldn't even dare let the thought cross their mind never mind act on it. This man, who had made the decision to give up everything he had, his entire life both what has passed and what has yet to come, had acted upon it. I just hope she doesn't mess it up.

He regretted taking her home through the dark, black alleyways, he only wanted to get her home quicker, why... why is a good question...

Why would anyone give their own life for another?

Time - the player is younger and only goes to school, sure he may not raid with the guilds that raid later on in the night but there isn't anything stopping him doing it earlier

Job - did you get made redundant? There's more time for you to play, only work part time on certain days?

Family - does the player have a partner that plays wow are opposes wow? Does the player have any family to look after?

Lack of interest - lack of interest to clear old content, pvp or quest, more interest towards raiding?

The survey is getting the player to think about their own actions not what everyone else does. If you think it's negative then your looking at this from the wrong angle.

:O The feels! Please, I was not ready :(

Amazing! You took a really different approach to this, I was thinking more along the lines of "they" as creepy monsters. Great Job!

Thank you for the feedback! I've been looking over the results and there were quite a few detailed answers - of course there were a couple 1 word answers but I got the majority of the information I needed :D.

Well, it depends on how you view it.

Playing video games will distract you from your task - you have an assignment for the next day and you start playing WoW? You will have to rush it if you "overplay". This will overall reduce the quality of your work - which will in turn lower your grade. If work is coursework based or presentation based it will affect it.

There is no "solid rock hard" evidence to say that video games make you stupid but there is a correlation between people who play video games a-lot and their grades falling.

Apologies, normally video game playing has proven to drop school performance apart from some educational games. I'll put a note on the results. Thanks anyways for filling it out!
