    If you're a WAR with no GA nor GA skill leveled, and all you have is one 1h weapon in your inv, then I suppose it's not a punishment.

    If you have both GA and 1h weapon to choose from, and choose not to use a GA, then you're purposely choosing to do it slow and grind less stuff/hr because you want to role play.

    Think of it this way, you're doing a job you enjoy and make $5/hr, v.s doing another job you don't enjoy which makes $20/hr. Why can't you do a job you enjoy and make $20/hr instead? You're being punished for doing a job you enjoy, so how is it not a punishment? You're grinding less plasm/hr because you want to role play or do something you enjoy, seems like a punishment to me.

    I didn't say anything about "you can't role play", stop playing the "I want to role play in MMORPG" card. I'm talking about something completely different, which is "you make less plasm/hr and grind less stuff/hr if you want to role play".

    Also stop thinking I always want the fastest setup possible, I do delve on BLU a lot, which is not an efficient DD at all. I do it to have fun, but I wouldn't pretend it's not a punishment to my pt when I play BLU. It's just that my friends/lsmate can accept it, it doesn't mean it's not a punishment.

    You can accept a fun job making $5/hr is different from pretending making $5 is not a punishment when you can make $20.
    But it was a good example. From all you have said, unless someone helps you as efficiently and quickly as possible you view it as a punishment. And to touch on what you said, even if you had two choices for a drive to work - one in a Ferrari and another in a station wagon... it doesn't really matter. The person driving you to work in a station wagon is still doing you a favor and it's faster than walking your butt to work. So to view someone helping you as punishment because you had better choices is still extremely misguided - to use a mild term.

    And if you want me to stop thinking you always want the fastest set up possible, then you should probably stop putting such an emphasis on it. All I ever read from you on these forums is spreadsheets and dps and how players should do the most damage as possible else they are punishing other players, a leech, and should be barred from all activity outside of role play. So the only one to blame for my impressions of how you think is yourself.
