It is a stupid parrallel to draw. |
I don't think so. Spending eight hours a day being ADD would imply that people actually had activities to switch between. That's just blatantly false with respect to older games. If you didn't settle down and grind/camp/etc., you didn't do anything.
Don't be so retarded and confuse the few idiots on a server (who are probably played by attention seeking teens anyhow) with kiddie gamers in general. I've observed kids who are addicted to games and MMOs, and they are, very much, capable of being goal-oriented and focused. Adults, on the other hand, can't help but be "ADD" in the sense we talk about it on this board - not the specific psychological condition of ADD or ADHD, but the presence of shorter attention or tolerance spans with respect to monotonous activities.
If you can only play 30 minutes a day, your effective attention span in-game is 30 minutes, regardless of what you do. It's also likely, in this case, that your gaming habits will adapt and make your attention span for monotonous activities even less (since doing 30 minutes of tedium isn't anyone's idea of fun).
