A Strange Thought

I think you should be able to put video games on your resume. "Level 80 Tauren Druid", "30 boxes full of Shiny Level 100 Pokemon", "played a Korean MMO for more than 5 minutes", these things... this goes beyond playing a video game. This becomes a job, and one they enjoy. A set goal, which not only do people reach through hundreds of hours of their free time, repeating tasks over and over again, they pay for the privilege to do this. And they're not satisfied with that. Every day, they endeavor to do it faster, to go even farther. "Five Level 80s, all with the best gear possible." "All the Pokemon also have the best natures, EVs, and IV."

These people do not need a life. What they need is a career, harnessing this ridiculous dedication and attention span. You get someone focused the same way you get them to focus on WoW, and harness it for profit, you will never want again.
