People don't want raiding culture to spread to the rest of the game. Raiders treat this game like a job, and the fun they get out of it is like the fun people get out of a job. But the negative aspects of raiding are similar to the negative aspects of a job. If that spreads to casual content, well, people who treat this game as something they do to relax and not something they do to work at in order to gain status won't be happy with the change.

People got angry when I mentioned a "fake boogeyman" earlier in this thread if I recall correctly, and this is exactly what I was talking about. The generalization that raiding is some inhospitable environment. The no fun allowed zone.

Playing in a team and having someone hold you back and removing them from the team or putting them on the bench is not a product of "a job." The fact of the matter is that there is no "I" in "team," as people always say. If one person can't respect other's time by being late or is holding them back they should realistically either improve themselves or expect a replacement. There is nothing regarding "work," about it. Kids play sports in school for fun but there will always be better or worse players. You are essentially implying that those kids treat playing those sports like jobs, instead of just...playing for fun. Which is basically what the grand majority of them do.

Having an end goal or requirement to be met does not suddenly mean that it's no fun and games. Acting as if a winning attitude means that you need to sour everything else is an incredible way to negatively generalize people who are determined for success.
