that's nonsense! your just making up your own universal rules for life.
guitar requires no skill, its just some sandal wearing womanizer trying to get layed with minimal effort by sitting around plucking strings.
When you start eq you die, and suck... when you start the guitar you suck and your neighbors think you should die.
After a while you can crawl through a dungion on your own pickingup multiple drops because you slow this calm that camp out this or that, so many crazy things.
It totaly requires skill... a more useless skill than most things thats true.... but who cares.
The only thing I have to say that's bad about EQ is that when I play it and then go out and hang out with people in real life, my social ability is like erased from my brain and I have trouble controlling the volume of my voice... I feel like it numbs the brain in some way or another. I am sure they will do some tests one day and find out that playing MMO's or VR worlds literately does destroy your grey matter.
But until that test comes out, I'm gonna say im just playing in my basement withi my virtual d&d lional train toy soldiers and have every right to!

The difference between guitar and eq though is that you get better and develop a skill when playing an instrument, whereas in eq you just get better pixels and better pewpews. You yourself have no gotten better at the game via the development and sharpening of skill-- your character just got more powerful.. (outside of learning what aggro ranges are and being able to avoid mobs-- hardly requires skill, more memorization and attention)That's my biggest grief with RPGs in general, despite my love for the fantasy genre.
say what you will about all the 13 year olds spouting hatespeech in call of duty via xbox, but at least they're developing coordination and reaction time.
