If the game experience truly is "constant daily pressure" for you or anyone else, I think it might be the best choice to switch it to something more pleasant and relaxing. My personal experience is that there is not much pressure towards anyone in any content outside Savage, and even that (or at least first two floors) can be run very casually now with Echo and overgearing. I have not witnessed the pressure you're describing, although I don't claim it doesn't exist for some players. But it may not also be nearly as widespread as you imagine (or it would probably be much more visible on these forums too).

Also, please don't accuse anyone you haven't played with about "enforcing" anything to anyone "in a dictatorial way", that's just ridiculous.
