    Not necessarily, as it's actually a universal thing that everyone experiences. I'm fairly old myself (31) by internet and gaming years, but I can understand why people take either approach. I mean, think about outside of games. We use cars to get from point A to point B faster, whereas you might see someone doing the same thing walking or cycling to and from. Convenience is a thing no matter where we are in life. Advancements to provide said convenience (faster computers, better hardware, cheaper products, etc) all make for the current "norm" to slowly shift into something different. It took decades for gaming to shift into the current state it is (which is very rampant with instant gratification) from the old Atari and NES days. Honestly, it was a slower approach than we tend to realize. Some folks just rather take advantage of "unnecessary" convenience more than others... like folks that use bots. Doesn't mean it's acceptable though, obviously lol.

    Hear hear. I was indeed more concerned with the unnecessary kind of convenience, as anyone would ride a mount over walking (in contrast to driving over walking in real life). But if I ever tried to send my twin to work in my stead, you can bet my boss would be on my neck within the hour.

    But ah well, night night. ^^/
