How does SE justify these ten min enrages, but doesnt let anyone know their dps

[eschaton]

Alright since this thread hasn’t been about beating enrage (or improving 1,2,3 rotations) for a long-long time, and most people are tired of the merry go round discussion, let’s just say it. This is not a great thing to say, neither an enjoyable one, but it has to be said. People need to understand, they need to know what drives you lot and why you can’t let go of this subject. Why it is so important to a few hardcore players.

This game offers some decent challenges and is generally very enjoyable. Basically everyone can easily enjoy it. Even so, a small fraction of people won’t accept the fights / challenges for what they are, they are willing to do everything in their power to become, as they personally say it, “the best players they can possibly be”. Sounds nice, unfortunately this also means “getting all the help they can get, from hardware, software, online tools and friends while doing the fights / challenges”. And really, still at first glance this might even seem like the smart and strong thing to do. Causality however, isn’t without a sense of irony though.

The lot dying for public numbers to be shown, are using so much aids for the fights, so much help, in so many different forms, so much stuff is macro’d, automated, called-out and made as easy as possible for them, that even the hardest fights become trivial in a very short amount of time. Yes even boring to them, because of all the extra aid. The call for super savage and super extreme savage to the max arises from all of this, but it won’t gratify them. It can’t, all the aid makes them too strong, too fast, fights too trivial, the game too easy. Congratulations, with all your practices to help yourselves and each-other as much as possible, you have completely outplayed yourselves.

And here we are, at the real issue at hand; the only thing that is left for these people, while being bored with the fights themselves but still loving the game they’ve put so much tricks into, is seeing everyone’s numbers and seeing who of them had the better aid, who had it easier, who had more luck, basically who is at the top of the number-boards for a while and fight for that, as the fights themselves aren’t interesting enough anymore, it all became too trivial.

It is nice to beat the game so easily. To feel strong with all the aid. For a while. But nothing is without consequence. And if you ever think this is what the majority wants you are gravely mistaken; the majority doesn’t want to make the fights trivial to themselves and their friends, they do not want to contest each other instead of the fights themselves, they still want to enjoy the game for what it is and play together for fun. Without the use of so much aid that they actually outplay themselves and become too bored with fighting the game, and turn on each other, to see who’s got it more easy.

You want to improve yourselves you say? Turn all that stuff off. Play the game again, not each other, not the ignorant community that is enjoying the fights for what they actually are. A game, a fun challenge and not a competition which requires all aid possible to make it as easy as possible to rival over the other players by any means and aid necessary, and have that shown publicly. This is not a war.
