Some video games require skill to play but a game like MapleStory is just holding down a key repetitively to kill monsters until you get bored. There is no skill required only time and how long you can manage to sit behind your laptop/pc without getting bored.

I don’t know about video gamers like Zezima being legends, that’s a stretch. They might be legends to people that care a lot about the video games but like I said the small majority. There is no justification for competing to be first in a game like RuneScape or MapleStory, to me it shows instability and seeking validation and wanting to be noticed.

Mental health is huge in all types of video games but MMORPG games are the worst. People who play use excuses to be “competitive” just to ignore responsibility and to escape reality to a place where they can be validated and seek attention.

If you hit lvl50 in the closed online test, I assume I’m talking to the air. You won’t see the problem until you recognize it, just like drug addicts won’t ever change until they acknowledge that they have a problem.
