Is this truly wrong?

2) Absolutely agree on that one. In fact I always assessed what effort would be required, cut off the top 5% performance and got through with great (but not the best) values while being relaxed. That way I avoided the strain of trying to "beat everyone" yet still never held my team back because I was among the most skilled of them.

3) Sorry to be harsh here but if you look for self worth and approval of others in a video game, you already have severe mental issues that need to be addressed out there in the fabled thing called "real life".
You know the game with super realistic graphics but really monotonous and boring gameplay.

Oh yeah I totally agree there, with both your points! I think your approach and mindset is really good on how you raid And you're not being harsh, just realistic, I've had a few verbal kicks up the backside from my best friend she's pretty blunt lol... I got addicted to gaming, it was my whole world, the only way to break the habit was I gave my power cords to my best friend, best thing I ever did. I used to get bad migraines, pains from bad posture, I limit my gaming to couple hours now, two nights a week give or take

Edited to add: ugh sorry Kaiva, just realised I kind of derailed the thread a bit >.< Please don't punt me >.<

Raided, my dear. Raided. I am retired now and observe young whippersnappers getting cleaved in half from my veranda.
Was rather hilarious though: I went into Omega savage 5/6/7 the other day in order to help out. Apart from being rusty it was interesting how easily and quickly it all came back to me.
The difference between O6 and 7 gave me a good chuckle though. What a cliff.

But alas, after 8.5yrs of active raiding I am done with the "scheduled" gameplay thing. Helping out now and then, sure but planning evenings around raids, being there whether you really feel like playing or not because your people need you to progress ... naah. I rather poke away at my piano these days.

PS: Kudos for getting over your addiction!

LOL that gave me a good chuckle I've felt like that as I've got older, "meh, let the younger ones have at it"..that and taking thousands of years to get off the floor from a kneeling position, with everything creaking And thank you
