event autism

The specific, oddly focused mindset that takes over an MMO player during in-game limited time events, often resulting in them shunning all game content in order to just play the event and grind out every last drop of that time limited content. Also applies to mobile format games which mirror the limited time event model.

Man, I'd love to hit up the new raid, but I'm in total Event Autism mode here, I need to grind out the Summer dailies on my alts then get a few hundred more tokens to get that next cosmetic before I can call it quits for the day.
