I openly admit that I'm not part of the top 1%. Nor do I want to be. I'm not saying that players should be indefinitely content locked either. I'm saying that players should work to overcome the challenging parts of the game, not just pay 400k and skip it. Why even play at all if you're just going pay for content clears? You're not even playing the game anymore, you're just paying other people to play it for you.

As for your TL;DR, you really shouldn't make such strong assumptions about someone that you know nothing about. You know what they say about assuming.
