A lot can be said on this.. WoW is a very life-destroying game. I'm a recovering addict, and it's not entirely unlike alcoholism. Every once-in-a-while I lapse and download the newest patches or expansion, which leads to detachment from friends and family. That isn't what this is about, though. You don't run slowly in the World of Warcraft. Blizzard initially had the idea to put these things players could ride on, mounts, in the game. And they have been improved on many times, as seen in each new expansion enabling players to go beyond the regular ground mounts and fly in the sky, 280% faster than normal walking speed. The next expansion will open up the entire realm that is Azeroth for flight, so everyone can indefinitely travel faster when they reach a certain level. Don't play this game.



This guy should be complaining about the lockout period for Raids. One raid a week per character (per instance, of course) is a bit more of a legit topic. And daily quests, too. They are all about prolonging subscriptions. And then there is the achievements.. You can get a 310% flying Drake if you do all of the important seasonal things, which takes a full year.

This guy is crazy.....but he right about the wow thing.



It is why they do not give you a mount at level 5 or something.....they want you to waste time walking everywhere. Also why you will finish a quest and the quest giver may have you return to the same area 2 or 3 times.



It's also why fishing has a timer, why gathering herbs/ore takes just a couple seconds.....when you do these things thousands of times, it adds up to minutes.



Still....that is the business strategy for MMO's and if you don't like it....don't buy the game.

Like the celebs are going to give a flying ***** that this guy is suing some video game companies, for his own profit.

this guy is the new generation of loser like Jack Thompson

At this point all he's after is attention. He's not that retarded, he knows he doesn't have a case. And the Web is giving him that attention.



Just ignore this clown and he'll go away

Man, this guy is hillarious.



He may be an attention-wh*re, but at least he has a lot ideas.

hello, i like cats!



i have a cat named lila. She is white with black dots, and she has blue eyes.

i always give her catcandy, which she loves very much.

once i tried eating one myself, but it tasted so bad :(:(

So i gave kitty some chicken.



he eated it in 3 seconds. aahw lila, you're so cuuuute ^.^

I think we should start a class action lawsuit against Estavillo for wasting our time. We cant get money, since I'm sure he has none. But we should ban him from using any video game systems and computers and cell phones with internet access.



Or we could just get his address and beat him with socks full of soap (a la Full Metal Jacket)

He expects to get one million dollars because, unless you make your character walk, they jog instead of unrealistically sprint everywhere?



I played WoW before any expansions, before you could get a mount at level 30, before you could get a mount at level 20. Unless he's been shoving his money at Blizzard for two or more years, he has nothing to complain about. Realistically, I wouldn't blame Blizzard for trying to settle out of court for the amount this idiot paid in subscription fees.



TL;DR If you think the characters walk too slow, it doesn't matter because you get a mount much earlier than you should these days.

I hope they throw this moron in prison for wasting time.



Frankly I don't feel any pity for this attention seeking dullard. Just goes to show that the species is better off without some people. Hopefully the next time he appears on the internet it'll be on the Darwin Awards.

if you let it be. Ive been playing wow for about 5 years now on and off no more than 5 hours a week. Albeit there are some people that play like 16hours a day they are simply week and amature. Generally anyone who was told they are addicted to this game, has underlying issues that the game only surfaced. Im tired of people blaming a game becuase its successfull in what it does. Its the peoples fualt not the games.

As I've written in some of the other "Estavillo threads" (holy! --it's a whole *category* of threads, now) ....he may have some ideas here and there that could possibly be legit/go somewhere. ...But in capable hands with someone knowing what the heck they're doing. Estavillo is clearly not that. Whether there was question about it before, it is now 100% *CONFIRMED*. --Besides, what in the world is someone with that list of ailments doing playing videogames? "Panic disorder"? --Oh, good idea: break out some GTA IV, Resident Evil, and Modern Warfare. That should hep the Panic Disorder right along. :-O

posted again on the wrong article....



I fail miserably.....

That's like saying an alcoholic doesn't have to drink if he doesn't want to, or a crack addict can stop whenever they want. Well, they just can't most times because they enjoy it so much it's a detriment to their health.



WoW is just a game but many people find it more satisfying to form social relationships online more and more in these days, because it's just easier and there is less of a chance of getting hurt emotionally.



People that get into it too much will not notice things changing around them, it doesn't make them "week and amature", it makes them psychologically vulnerable and addicted, to the point where they would rather game than eat or sleep. It's very unhealthy, but not entirely their fault. It can be very much like a drug where the only way out is to seek help.



I'm tired of people blaming people for being immersed so realistically they forget what is important to them.

you habe a piont, but you can become addicted to gambling. Not Physically. once again though, you have to be weak for this to happen. I have just kicked a 15 year Smoking habit, and am better (yet Fatter) for it.



this guy needs a hobby (apart from computer games), perhaps Warhammer :S

Its the game creators fault that some people have deep seeded emotional trauma right ? Drugs and Alcohol are physical things that harm the body. Those addictions are tied to physical pain caused by the substance. Video games are emotion driven but they specifically dont cause any physical or emotional harm to normal people. What your suggesting is that No one should play video games because some people get addicted. And dont say WoW is different from any other video game. Its just another one of thousands of video games out. I reiterate its not WoW that is life-destroying its the emotionally disturbed user thats the issue. The ideal that some people find it easyer to socialize online than in person not being healthy is true but your bringing that out of context by adding WoW into it, Chat rooms instant messengers are the same effect. Even in that its not the Messengers fault for creating an online portal for people to talk because socially inept people latch to it to meet new people. In my opinion WoW is just the bashing stone for people who wont admit they have underlying issues.
