Imagine a world where everyone was on time and fully prepared to do their job to the absolute peak of their ability each and every day. Imagine a world where people made excuses to their friends and family to get out of social activities just so they would not miss a day of work. Imagine a world where people worked countless hours of overtime, seven days a week, just so they could do their job better. Imagine a world where all of your co-workers help you, no matter what, to better yourself.

I recently had a conversation with one of my friends about the realm of professional gaming. Now, I don’t think that at this point anyone can argue against the fact that gaming professionally is actually becoming a viable way to make money, however, I often wonder where some people priorities are.

As a long time MMORPG player, I have noticed many things in my days of playing. I find that you only really reflect on these finer points about games, after you have both played, and quit, many of them. What I have noticed most is the behavior of people within the games, their attitudes toward people who have quit the games, and also, their feelings about all other MMO’s, except the one they currently play. If humans are good at rationalization, then MMO players are masters of it.RR
