Don't know about you, but I'm having a lot of fun playing ArcheAge with my MMO guild whose core are all good friends outside of the game. Most of us see each other at least once every year when we attend Pax Prime in Seattle, WA together. Korean MMOs are the only MMOs worth playing.
As a reformed MMO junkie this is the kind of justification I used to use when pouring thousands of hours into a game. There are ways to bond with long distance friends that you don't have to pay monthly for and aren't specifically designed to cause psychological addiction and dependence.
Or you can just waste your life getting fat and sedentary killing progressively different dragons and shit on the internet. Whatever floats your boat, really.
