For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
EQ definitely serves the same purpose for me that drinking would if I did that sort of thing, so I think this has some merit to it.
That said, having a game addiction is way less physically and financially damaging than drinking/drugs/gambling/overeating. If you've gotta have a crutch to drown out the world, games are a relatively good one. $15 a month to support an addiction is pretty cheap. :P
It's retarculous to think of things like WOW as a threat though in that regard - people become ensnared with addictions for internal reasons: the external manifestations are merely the path they choose to escape with.
