It seems nowadays they just label half the people with ADHD or something related. Really sad for the people that actually have it though. Maybe it's just a european thing (though I doubt it), but nowadays if you have an active toddler he must have ADHD or something else. I wonder how that went 30 years ago or so and where the parents hid all their kids with it. Obviously changes in society and environments can influence the % of people with stuff like this but the last 5 years or so it's ridiculous in the environment I live(d). A kid who has no attention span and is active is now considered to have a problem almost always, in my days (I can't believe I'm saying this as a 22 year old lol) it was just an active kid.
I personally have the attention span of a goldfish, was always bored at school and had to find a new hobby like almost every month. I could have it, if I do, I just live with it, wtf? It struck a lot of close people that I actually found something I could do for years now (poker obv). Although I must admit I need some serious breaks now and then and just focus on other stuff.

noooooooooo!
WoW is sick sick how addictive it is. If you enjoy rpg's or hack&slash games in general (diablo, dungeon siege, etc.) at all this is just the nut-game to play. Huge world, lots of action, you can basically chose whether to follow the storyline a lot or not (personally I'm a hack&slash fan and not so story based rpg fan), and so on. There's literally zero bad things so far about it except that it's so ****ing additcitve. Just getting a group of 5-10-25 people and doing dungeons or raids is the nuts.
The problem is that you can't really finish the game. =/
Like, you can level up charactars to level 80 now (on december 7 new expansion will make it level 85) but that's far from where it stops. The fun just starts after level 80 since you can play heroic dungeons now on pretty hard difficulty settings. It also works with achievements and as for now, there are 1056 achievements to be had and it's just insaaaaaane to do them all. Some easy, some really hard, basically things like completing specific dungeons, exploring certain parts of the map, doing certain quests, doing certain things within time limits, etc. There's like 12M people with a WoW account now and there's under a 100 people with 1050/1056 or more just to give an idea. There's basically always something else to do or to go for and by the time you think you've done most they will come out with a new expansion.
Seriously, it's the nut game but if you don't want to be addicted I wouldn't start playing it. I both love and hate my roommate for getting me started in it tbh.
