Those statements are very serious for a game, or a character in a game. Spending several years in a game is never, ever an accomplishment..its just wasting time. This is the mistake we do, spend so much time in FFXI, that we start to think that this is actually important to us, lol.
Apologies if i offended you.
If you wanna get really philosophical about this, everything we do in life is wasting time since we'll all die in the end and the universe will keep on turning whether we exist or not. So from an objective non-spiritual standpoint all human activity is pointless.
From a subjective standpoint, we all invest our lifetime in various activities, usually divided into work/sleep/leisure. We do things that feel meaningful to us and thus create our own reason to be. It doesn't matter if it's playing golf, collecting stamps, making home videos, raising children, knitting or playing video games, subjectively it's all equally meaningful or meaningless. If the person you were referring to (and I expect a good many other players) chose to invest a few years of lifetime into this and really put his life and soul into it, who are you to judge if it's wasting time or not?
