I play far, far too much. Way more hours than I should and it's probably unhealthy. But I dont risk my job over it!!
It's not Eve's fault or CCP's fault you lost your jobs, its because you have no self-control.
Delete your characters and uninstall it. If you do not do that, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Yes, read the rest of the posts, i have already said it was my fault not ccp's, i have already said i was a teenager when it happened when i didn't give a monkeys about losing jobs.
I am quite sure he read the rest of the posts. I see nothing in his comment that seems he isnt up to speed at the time he posted.
What I do see is that you posted that you have a problem, asked others if they have the same problem or what their opinion is of your situation.
Now ppl are giving you their opinion and you want to argue with them. Which leads me to what was the point of posting in the first place? Ppl aren't telling you its ok you have no willpower and self-control. Good. If you listened to them instead of arguing them it might do you some good, mate. Outside of that it certainly sounds like you are just drawing attention to yourself while wasting other's time, because there is no point to taking advice if you are just going to argue it.
I'm sure this will just create more argument, but....My advice is, like there are many ways to play this game, there are many ways to live your life. If you own a lan center then your life revolves around gaming, at least somewhat. Having an addiction to Eve, for such a person, does not seem like a 'problem' at all, to me. Seems more like really liking what you do. You said before that when you lost your job over Eve, you were still a kid. Kids don't give a **** so yeah, who cares. I lost jobs because I wanted to go drink with friends, THAT DAY, when I was a kid. I never had anything bordering on a drinking problem. So that doesn't sound like a real problem either.
What makes it a problem is that you SAY you have a problem. Which means the way in which you act is not acceptable to yourself. In which case, you have simply two choices. MAN UP and do something, or quit complaining and try to enjoy your life without the willpower and self-control it takes to live the way you want to live. Taking the second choice is actually the harder one to do, as it is impossible; you will never really be happy knowing you aren't in real control of your own life.. but you will never understand that until you manage to take the first path, at least once. And see that in the end, willpower is not a difficult thing to accomplish, if you just exercise it once in a while.
