I looked into this a while back and the data that I could find was about averaging 4 hours a week for the average gamer.

To my surprise looking into it today it has become around 8 hours. Now of course across the many websites and studies done they do try to break it up into game sessions, age groups, generations and etc.

But I saw a pretty consistent range around 8 so 8 is what I’m going to with at least for now.

Since Guild Wars 2 is one of my favorite games and probably the community I am the most actively involved with I figured I’d bring this discussion here. How many hours a week do you put into gaming? And when you game is it 15 minutes here and there? Or is it more “I have 4 hours today and will use all 4 to play”

During release weeks or when I'm in the mood I might play 1-2 hours per night (7-14 hrs./week). But when I'm taking it slow I might pop in for a few hours per week. Depends on what's going on in life, my energy level, mental state, etc.

If it's a raiding/fractal weekend I'll play for 3 hours or more in a sitting (well, I use a standing desk but you get my meaning).
