Are you embarrassed to tell people you play an online role playing game? Is it worse that the game you play is WoW?
If so, let me ask you this...
If you were a multi-millionaire, would you still be embarrassed?
If not, is it WoW you're really embarrassed about?
These are pretty revealing questions, so I'll answer them for myself.
No, I talk about it freely with people. Yes WoW is worse than other games. And yes, having money (though not millions) DOES make it easier for me. I might not be so confident if I were broke.
