Dude, what kind of twisted logic is this? "Professional IT experts are not allowed to play games" , just cuz you have not met any1, it does not mean that people good at their job cant play games or even better, people just do not go around advertising what they do for a living. This or your "friends and people that you know" simply work on farms or something? There is nothing wrong with being good at what you do and play games just for fun on your spare time.
Finally, have you considered why there are people that have so good gear and can afford to spend $500 a month? I will let you in on a little secret, they are IT experts and can afford it (I know at least 4 top geared players on chronos ). You do not know if MJ played any games cuz at his peak online games were not a thing, Neymar Jr on the other hand is playing videogames online, again your arguement is invalid.
I do miss L2guru when you could roast kids!
