I have to officially be the one to tell you that you're talking out you're a**.
First, if you have never even been to a Melee or Brawl tourney once in your life, that wouldn't give you much leverage to say what their mentality of the Smash community is. Since I've been to a few tourneys (and even hosted an offline one as well): Most smash players have this mentality: "Play to get better, with a desire to win." Not play to win (maybe except for M2K sometimes, & I say that with experience firsthand).
If WOW is easier, cool beans. However, that is no reason to say that those good in Smash have no lives! Homes, I joined the Smash community 5 years into my time @ Tech, with the frat and other obligations being no less than they have been the past several years. So, please don't say learning to play Smash makes you devoid of a life. It's what you make of your time. Don't say that your time prohibits you to learn how to play better, say that you choose to play WoW as opposed to playing Smash. That statement is a lot more honest.
NB If you have come to the site looking for something other than Smash, then you are doing it wrong. There are many vB sites that do Computers, Debating, Art, Drawing, Media, A&E better than this. None cover Smash as well as this one. Like it or not, Smash is what brought you to this site. Granted, it might not be the reason you stay, but if you don't even give it a chance, then you are truly just taking up space on the site.
