Thank you for your compassion, good , good people.

To feac : I play games since spectrum 48k and tried every kind of mmorpg. Maybe God wanted this happens in WOW , I don't know. In all my other human possible experiences I didn't encounter such problem.

Maybe you want screenshot? Ask Blizzard

@OP. You have given the term "playing till your eyes bleed" a whole new meaning. Sorry if your ailment is real but im having a very hard time getting around this one as true.

Can we get this thread locked?  Whether or not the OP is truthful, his statements are pure trolling and/or idiocy.

(You could have a heart attack after dying in WOW PVP, but WOW isn't to blame for your preexisting condition.)

Wow, you mean, in all of the rest of your day-to-day activities, nothing else made you go spontaneously blind in one eye, like World of Warcraft did.  

Sorry, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  So, if I'm sitting in my back yard, hand feeding a baby bird that fell out of a tree, and a 747 engine comes plummeting out of the sky and crushes me, my house and the baby bird...it's either because of the baby bird, or because God didn't want me feeding it?  Or or or...you realize how stupid this sounds, right?

Dumb thread is dumb.

If a jet engine crashes into your house chances are its because of something you havent done yet...

Just to make things clear...
I speak for myself and no one else, unless i state otherwise mine is just an opinion. A fact is something that can be independently verified, you may challenge such but with proof. You have every right to disagree with me through sound argument, i believe in constructive debate, but baseless aggression will warrant an unkind response.

But you do know you don't have to have your nose touching the screen while you play, slide that chair back a little bit.

See kids, too much fapping while watching female Night Elves dancing will make you go blind.

Probably been said before, but I would never blame a game for something like this. It would come down to chance. Most people play games such as WoW for many hours of their day, and because of that it would it would naturally incrase the chance of something happening during the play time.

So I could go as far as to say While I was playing WoW an earthquake happened and my house fell down. So I can clearly blame WoW for the earthquake. Don't see that happening where I live but that would make the claim even more crazy.

No, I didn't play a long time, no I didn't exhaust my eyes etc.

I swear before God all this is true, and only the justifiable. In october 2008 I played WOW in one instance when a female char with pink or purple pirate like hat made a buff. In the same moment I saw blind round circle in center of one of my 2 eyes.

And today im blind on one eye.

Thank you , well can happen in 1 out 10 million cases.

Have fun rather outside.

 

 

WoW didn't do it. The blue light emitted from the monitor and your countless hours in front of it did it. Blue light harms your eyes the most, from what I understand. If you happen upon a new eye to replace your broken one, I recommend  these...

Sorry, no, don't believe it. Your experiences may be as described, but they don't mean that Warcraft blinded you.

Huumm...   thanks.  

I think I will continue playing Videogames.  I have tried "base jumping" but it take too long to get to the jump height, for just 10 seconds of fun.
