You spend hours and days playing towards virtual things which have little-to-no physical or intellectual value in real life. There are just so many more tangible things you could be doing with your life.

Feel free to throw insults my way

Can't that be said about all video games though?

There's a difference between playing a variety of video games for fun, and spending addicted days on end on the same game online just to get one level higher or to reach one more achievement

And why does it matter if you're online or offline? If anything I can see online being better since you actually get some kind of human interraction.

Social interaction notwithstanding, if the gaming becomes addictive, then there's something wrong. Online gaming brings about a greater risk of addiction than offline gaming, mainly due to the fact that achievements can more easily be compared to (and then respectively beaten by) others, especially in games where the player has already invested a lot of time
