Why MMORPGs are the way of the future

In MMORPGs people perform boring, meaningless tasks in pursuit of inane goals.

- If the tasks weren't boring, it'd be a game.
- If the tasks weren't meaningless, it'd be an organization.
- If the goals weren't inane, it'd be a project.

Yet I feel the urge to recommend this endeavor to people whose life is without meaning and who live on regardless in this society - such as the retired and the mentally handicapped. These focus groups are prone to bouts of depression (and worse: aggression) when the realization of their purposelessness creeps into their subconscious.

This is where World of Warcraft can help! It provides the first practical solution to structural unemployment. Providing as its core feature the illusion of meaning, it is a big fat pacifier for the retarded masses. Nigger orcs and cracker elves stand side by side in this war to keep their world clean of free speech, creativity and intelligence. I for one welcome our new Blizzard overlords!

But who wants to pay for a hundred WoW accounts in retirement homes, hospitals, etc?

Government subsidized MMORPGS?  We'd be spending more than education.

My life has been without meaning for a long time and I don't really care lol. I'm not depressed either and I'm happy living alone at 21.

And I sure as hell have more fun not playing mmorpgs then playing them in their current state. (this includes doing nothing)

FFXI = getting paid nothing to kill lizards for eight hours a day.

I have a feeling Japan already does this.

if you had a 10 dollar an hour job and worked the same amount of hours youd invest in this game to get to level 40 youd be rich.. rich i say RICCCCCCCCCH

you wouldnt be rich youd have like a week or 2's paycheck you nub and also if were wasting our time doing that why would you care.. thered be more jobs for your retarded self and we dont have to listen to you commenting in forums that are about games that you apparently dont like and say we are wasting our time but your here doing nothing are you not..?

You'd be richER, that's all.  The only people to make money form MMORPGs are currency sellers and auctioners.  Would the government or a nonprofit organization ever be able to pay for a full building of nursing home gamers without creating a huge waste of money?

Because it is easier to enforce copy-protection in an online game
