Hello!
Im currently doing a Statistical Investigation in my mathsclass in school.
Would love if you could give me 10 seconds and answer this question:
"Do you feel that WOW, or gaming in general, have affected your studies negative?"

Sorry for bad English thanks in advance!

[BananaInsane]

Yes.

[Duronos]

Wouldn't it be negatively?

[Caradinist]

Wouldn't it be negatively?

Yeah, English is not his first language, but hey, at least we get the message.

To answer your question, gaming has affected my studies in a negative way. I would have had the same ordeal if i had gone to actual sports, though.

Maybe it was just my general disinterest in school.

[Gerel]

Before the game in high school my grade were perfect but as I joined this game, my grades have been slipping due to playing too much or being busy (raiding) :P

[Masnailia]

The fact you need help for this answers your question young padawan.

[kyne1987]

I stopped WoW during my studies because of too much raiding (I.. need.. to.. sleep ). But I never put WoW above school in my priority list, and never ever had any problems at school while playing WoW. So I voted "no" :-)

[angael]

No, I do not feel that my playing WoW has affected my schoolwork But I'm fairly casual except for the 5.6k acheivment points I have. I Have taken breaks from the game though- Didn't play most of september mainlt because I was waited for 4.01 and was beginning to find the game to be boring.

[rantus]

Nope, I never do much studying anyway, even without games.

[Nahte]

Hard to say, really.

I doubt WoW alone affects anyone negatively, since it's usually a culmination of things.

To answer the question: No, and I think anyone that believes it can and scrutinizes it for such is either delerious or witness to a rare case.

[Mijen]

I would say Yes to gaming in general. In school I didn't really have my priorities in the correct order. Gaming just happened to be what I had access to.

So, once again, Yes to gaming in general. However, any other activity could have the same effect.

[ShamanWiz]

I would say no, only if youre addicted then yes it would bother you.

[Punchline]

No, probably not for the most part. No more than anything else would anyways.

[Bladeoffury]

No it improved em was getting all a then parents stop lme playing and getting b's and c's. Yeah takes my mind off my life so yeah.......

[Ducon]

If its affected someone, WoW or games in general are not the ones to blame

[Hakasu]

Yes, i'm pretty sure it has.

[Duronos]

It depends, I'm still a minor so if my mum threatens to delete my character due to something I did then it puts me in a bad mood because WoW is 1/4 of my life lol.

[Deleted]

Dunno Im a troll.

[Kyeguywar]

Uh no i get straight A's and i play wow a lot...here comes the trolls

[Pandra]

Tough question. I think it does for me just because it can be a time sink and take up time I could be using to study. I really do not think it positively affects my studying in any way so I will have to go with Yes it does negatively affect studying.
