A good definition of addiction -- this is paraphrased from an actual definition used by specialists in addiction therapy -- is progressive use of the addictive substance or activity in the face of adverse consequence, with negative effects on school or work, health, financial or legal obligations, and relationships. Denial is often a factor in addiction as well; the oft-cited "I can quit [XXX] any time I want to!"

If you're using WoW as a form of cheap recreation while you're looking for a job, that's one thing. If you're using it as a way to avoid looking for a job, that is quite another.
