You can't want to quit AND be addicted, you're just an attention whore.

-
Lol! Wow dude. You. Are. Retarded.
-
By your low vocabulary, I'd say you probably have down syndrome yourself.
-
That was good, I have to admit. I'm tearing up. My fragile id just can't handle such an insult. My hands are shaking. My night is ruined. God, why was I born?! Why, God, was I given this life when EchoBane's disapproval clearly validates my unworthiness? Now, friends, I strike out in search of the nearest bridge and body of water, upon which I shall fill my pockets with heavy stones and throw myself from it, destined only for the cold depths of a watery grave. Cruel, cruel world...thy name is EchoBane.
-
wow..you have no clue
-
Actually having been addicted to an mmoprg before I have more of a clue than you do.
-
pps. i worked in drug rehab for 7 years. ive got a clue, believe me.
-
The is a difference between being an addict and helping people with an addiction. Unless you've been one you are still missing some pieces.
-
please go read a definition of addiction. ..and mine was more difficult to kick than an mmo, dude. i will reiterate u dont know what u are talking about and calling op attention whore is unhelpful.
-
Need a tissue?
-
not at all. that doesnt even make sense. ..muted for sheer stupidity
-
no. the dude is looking for help. is it so hard for you to be constuctive? ps. destiny was deliberately designed to be addictive and has succeeded too well for some people.
-
xD, are you new to the forums? People post crap like this all the time.
-
been on the forums since day 1.. if u think he is an attention whore why do u feed a troll. if by ppl post crap u mean posts like yours, i heartily concur.
-
Well, yes you can. That is the very definition of addiction. Do you think alcoholics want to be alcoholics? Shouldn't you be in school?
-
Can't compare drugs to a game, idiot.

Addiction is a condition that results when a person ingests a substance (e.g., alcohol,cocaine, nicotine) or engages in an activity (e.g., gambling, sex, shopping) that can be pleasurable but the continued use/act of which becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary life responsibilities, such as work, relationships, or health. Users may not be aware that their behavior is out of control and causing problems for themselves and others. Source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/addiction

You can't get addicted to a game like you can a drug where you only have to try some once to become an addict. Also people don't get addicted to video games for the same reasons as drugs.
-
Anything can be addictive. Some things are psychologically addictive, others are physically addictive. Nicotine is a physically addictive substance, Destiny has a psychological addictiveness.

Hi! I just graduated with a degree in psychology, and I don't really care to step into arguments, but this is a very interesting topic for me. Comparing drugs and games, as far as addiction is concerned, is actually completely legitimate. Both encourage your brain to produce a high level of a certain neurotransmitter, probably dopamine in this case, in response to the given stimulus of either drugs or Destiny or pornography or whatever the addiction is. With drugs, there is pretty much always more to the story because your body will build a resistance and dependency on the substance, but the craving is in great part because of the chemical (dopamine, serotonin, etc.) your brain feels it is lacking when you are absent of the substance or activity. Essentially, while your body may have other dependencies and problems with drugs, to your brain, the effect of addiction is almost the same, regardless of what it is addicted to. One may certainly wish to quit, but the brain doesn't instantly get over the addiction. It craves the chemical it produced in greater quantities when playing Destiny or doing whatever. If you want to read some interesting articles related to the subject, you could google cigarettes and the physical action of lifting something to your lips and having it near your mouth. Sometimes, to help treat addiction to cigarettes, psychologists will have the individual repeat the physical actions of smoking without using a cigarette to curb the appetite for smoking. This gives the brain a chance to release the extra chemicals without the harmful substance and helps it wean off of smoking. Fascinating stuff, addiction. : ) Not fun if you have it, though. I'd recommend a little sympathy rather than hostility.

[quote]Anything can be addictive. Some things are psychologically addictive, others are physically addictive. Nicotine is a physically addictive substance, Destiny has a psychological addictiveness.[/quote] What he said Also I have been addicted to an mmorpg before, though the addiction was more about the social aspects I wanted to get on to talk to my friends in game because other than going to work I wasn't really getting any social interaction. It was still an addiction though because anything that took me away from the game would piss me off. So from experience its a lot easier to quit a video game addiction than a drug addiction and if you want to you quit you can quit easily. Either you want to quit or you don't it's that simple.

Thanks for taking the time to produce a detailed and coherent response (something that I couldn't bring myself to do). I think a little of this education is what's needed, so that everyone can see some of the mechanics behind this. Oh, and totally agree.
-
Except the very design of Destiny is to be addictive.
-
And you're just a bitch.

Takes one to know one.
