Thats why they make stuff like the Quarter Pounder, Mcnuggets and McRibs. And like MMOs, all of them are bad for your health if you consume them too often. Go outside and exercise that Big Mac off.

Blaming one's feelings on someone or something else is a personal choice to "play victim"... also a self-inflicted feeling (not to be confused with actual real world victimization of one person by another). I do find the analogy of binging on only Big Macs to be roughly appropriate analogy to players who over-consume some part of an MMO and then complain about it.

My friend tells me "i'm bored of eating nothing but big mac's".. I reach over slap him up behind the head and say "then stop eating nothing but big macs and try something else...Duh!" I keep hitting myself in the head saying "it hurts" Your analogy, "well try hitting yourself in another part of the head or in the face" Our analogy.. " well stop hitting yourself!"

You missed the entire point. Sure, you are responsible for your own choices, but someone who is looking for your business better be all about keeping it to where you don't choose to take your business elsewhere. Games are meant to cure boredom. Not cause it. If you fail at that, then well; maybe you have an issue with your product.

You know, just to show both sides.

Again.... because you do not get it...... the feeling of boredom is self-inflicted... as is the cure for it -----> do something, anything, else EXCEPT what currently bores you. Blaming anyone or anything for one's own boredom is immature and demonstrates an inability/unwillingness to take charge of one's own life and feelings surrounding that life. It's raised to absurd levels when one realizes that nobody is actually forcing anyone to play a game they are bored of.

You know, just to show both sides. LOL Yeah. All you really have to do is get one side going and it can just take care of itself as the other side will soon be in on it. Just look at the OP. Just a small statement, one side objects, another side (me in this case) comes in and the OP doesn't have to do anything else.
