I told him that he needs to play a F2P MMO before I consider spending money on him.

I asked him why he doesnt play the F2P MMO anymore. He said, "It doesnt give you anything." I told him that you need to level up to do more things. He said, "Ya I did level up and it still doesnt give you anything." I said well it has to give you something while your playing.

The reply I get is, "It gives you different monsters to fight and area to level in, I already had that."

*pokerface* Did I just get owned?

daddy you just got owned :))

give the boy his wow!.. he certainly seems to be able to handle it, why not give it to him :3

I remember getting my daughter and son Everquest Accounts(then 9 and 10).  My son and I used to group together and do stuff.  My daughter rolled her eyes and went picking flowers or some such.   At the end of the day, I looked over to her computer still logged on (although by then she was reading a book) and she had over 300 plat, this on a level 12 toon she had created the day before.  I asked her how she had got so much cash (much more than I had at that stage), she rolled her eyes again and said "boys are dumb, they give you stuff if you act nice".

total win.

A hamster wheel looks like a career ladder from the inside.

 Great quote. Summed up prettty much every MMO in a single sentence.

and yet playgrounds have swings and ... you never go anywhere, no matter how high you swing, you just return down eventually.

perhaps swinging is the goal, not the destination ?

why does the hamster like the wheel? surely he's not feeling accomplishment by turning it. Maybe he plain likes turning it ?

we're trying too hard to derive purpose from something that is without one.

Not sure about you, but the entire purpose of swings for me was to propel yourself to out jump the other kid :)

Wow you step child has more common sense than most adult MMO gamers. And for a moment I thought the new generation of youth were more stupid. I stand corrected. 

My son asked me to cancel his mmo. I asked him why. He says patch after patch, they dumb it down for grown ups that don't have much time to play.
