1. MMORPG are crack. We know this, don't play these games if you like things like "social life" "work" "sunlight" etc.
They're designed to be this way, its not through 'genius of gameplay' its specifically designed to egg you on, to tease you with "hey if you just play a little longer, you'll get X"
The developers know this, they specifically cater to the obsessive compulsive crowd, their livelyhood thrives off of addictive personality.
How else do you explain 'powergamers' who ignore virtually all content in order to do nothing other than to obtain that high number on their character to pertain to level, they'll grind endlessly, not cuz they enjoy the game, they enjoy the grind. In fact how many people have admitted that they hate MMOs, but play them anyway?
not saying its wrong, just that it is.
I would love a MMO game that has slower pace, more cerebral, more depth, but less monopoly on time, but nope, current business model is designed to cater to people like Phillip Fry on Futurama when he's on his 100 coffee binge,
"why don't you smoke that cigar? puff puff puff go go go!"
