Hi there - I can understand your perspective, but this guy's wife supports him. I can only assume that at some point, if he were capable of getting outside, she would be the first one to encourage him.

My mother is physically disabled, and struggles with a lot of things. Her choices are to lay in bed or sit in a chair (when she is physically able to). Believe me - being trapped inside your home might be fun for the first week - maybe three. But nobody gets fulfillment or would prefer to stay inside their home, separated from all RL social interaction if they could choose otherwise.

For people with disabilities, I think WoW can be a great thing. When possible, I do think efforts should be made to not be so dependent on it - but when it's that or starting at a TV screen, I'd rather someone do something that makes them think, interact, and socialize.
