This is true dedication!

I never really understood recognizing people for spending hours and hours on end playing a game but that's just me, I am not saying anything about the people I just feel there is no real value to any of it.

People could say the same thing for the amount of hours you play. I know that you don`t play much and you have a life. Still over the years you have played a fair bit. IMO there is nothing wrong with that, but some people think even that is sad. Just goes to show.

Also just mentioning some people who are really sick play tons of Runescape because they have nothing else to do.

That would be why I said "I am not saying anything about the people..."

If they choose to play runescape over spending time with family or going out (if possible for them, maybe they're entire family is gone or they have no family/friends to go out with) it's their choice 100% either way.

I still don't see any significant value to it or any reason to say they are more dedicated than I or you are. Why should only people with time to play RS or massive experience gains be called "pros" or dedicated?

Anyways, I'm not going to argue opinions and debate here, I won't change my opinion anyways

As a note: I never said anyone was sad or no-life or anything related so I have no idea where that came from. I think you're assuming a fair bit on what I said or putting words in my mouth. :p


EDIT: I'd like to add this quote I remembered after typing this.

We only get one shot at life. Nobody's last words have ever been: "I wish I'd spent more time at the office" or "I wish I'd spent more time cleaning the bathroom". However many people have said "I wish I hadn't neglected my family and friends". Play RuneScape, have a good time, collect all those fancy skill capes, but don't neglect the real world. I've been told that parts of it are almost as good as RuneScape!
