Stumble it!

Employers are asking recruiters NOT to send them WoW players stating that WoW players make shitty employees.

It's fair enough tbh. But it depends on what type of job you have though, I think about WoW and what I'll do when I get home when I'm at work. But that's because my job is SHIT. I have to deal with benefit claiming scum off the estate all day long who buy far too many pregnancy tests and not enough condoms, while thier screaming children (who they don't have a fucking clue how to handle) run riot around the shop, for less than min. wage at the age of 21. I therefore have fuck all in the way of enthusiasm.

When I get a job that I can use my degree for (not likely to be soon in the current climate) and I'm being paid a decent wage, I probably won't even want to play WoW.

That's BS. i play WOW and I also kick ass at my job. My customers talk to me about the game. I'm also in the process of being trained for management.
So ;p

This is the most ill informed and utterly retarded thing I've seen in quite some time.

I dunno.. I mean we're talking statistics right? Even if you can handle your game, there's probably millions of nerds out there which cant.

More people can handle an MMORPG than the small percent that get addicted. Most people are casual players that hold down jobs and families. Judging the group based on the lowest percent is a dumb move. Most gamers will know more about computers, software, internet, etc than your average yes man in a cheap suit.

With 50% of U.S. Adults playing video games me thinks these recruiting idiots havn't a god damn clue whats going on. Heaven forbid their employees have a way to blow off steam after work that doesn't involve getting completely wasted or getting hurt doing something stupid outside.

"Unfair bigotry? Nope. In the replies, other Warcraft players largely agreed WoW addicts tend to make bad employees."

Where'd they ask them? Forums? In game chat? The forums are more /b/tard infested than shoutwire is and asking via the in game chat channels is idiotic at best!
