Not gonna try and prove you wrong, since it sounds like you're pretty set in your ways. And I agree with most of your points. But what I disagree with is the generalization of everyone playing this game being an addict. Addictions are serious business, no matter what someone is addicted to. Some people (like myself) only put a few hours into this game per week. I used to play a lot more, but I cut back because I was addicted. Not trying to change your mind, but just because someone enjoys this game doesn't mean they're an addict.
