Jobs start level and why it is bad to start so high

A not belittle just stating the fact playing dress up isn't a value that's a benefit of doing things OF VALUE...

like.. killing imaginary monsters? Sorry.. that has no value either. Putting together an aesthetically pleasing outfit is just as valuable a skill.. in fact an eye for aesthetically pleasing arrangements is a marketable skill. Much more so than anything you'd develop mindlessly grinding monsters to be "stronger".

And calling people "pathetic" for liking something.. is belittling them.

that's like saying I belittle a chef for putting value on the meat before cooking it lol.

Being a chef is a difficult skill to learn that produces real results that are of real value to people. Incomparable to someone who becomes marginally good at a video game or in your example simply sinks hours into it. You are putting value on something worthless and saying it's better than something else virtual and worthless. Just because you value the process, doesn't mean you're better than people who value the results.

Also Its more about Working, grinding pouring in hours to get stronger to not only kill monsters but flat out butcher the players in duels/pvp

If you are playing a game as "work", you are doing the whole thing wrong. You should be having fun and on that note again, your enjoyment of the process is no better or worse than someones enjoyment of the results. I don't play games because I find the investment "worthwhile" or particularly fulfilling. I play games because I enjoy the experience and in that there is value.
