@fallwind Because the stereotype is that gamers (of both genders) must be fat/ugly/losers that never interact with people in the outside world. Apparently, it's considered a headline that in reality quite a few people fall in love and get married to folks they meet in games!
@(Unverified) That's because WoW is structured so that entire segments of content are locked to players unless they get their gear stats high enough. The gear treadmill is baked into the game as a roadblock to keep people playing (and paying the monthly fee) longer. So if someone wants to SEE certain dungeons or raid content they are basically forced to become a loot-hoarder.
