All in all, MMO games are dangerous. Literally. To your health, to your bank balace, to your social connections...etc. And this is not on the box for a reason <_<

That's basically saying what those parents are saying, you know - which contradicts your original "agreement."
Hey, I've been there too - when I played MMORPGs in college, my social skills went down (my grades actually went up, but that's because I was spending more time in my room, where I was more likely to study, than out hanging out with friends), I gained some weight, wasn't getting enough sleep, felt ill a lot, etc.
But me playing EQ so much wasn't the game's fault. It was MY fault, because it was MY choice. And eventually, I chose not to play.
In the above case, it's the parent's fault, because they weren't monitoring their child and teaching him good lifestyle choices. When you're an adult, doing this sort of thing, the blame is all on you, because you are the only person responsible for your behavior.
