Are you confusing "refusal to learn" with "refusal to optimize"? I have been playing regularly since March 2020 and have never encountered an endgame player who did not know how to play their role. It's fine if someone isn't playing optimally in duty finder content, and if you think it isn't then that's a failing on your end. It doesn't matter if you have to spend an extra 5-10 minutes in content because some people aren't playing optimally. Toxic casualism is a myth elitists use to try and stigmatize healthy people who don't take video games seriously. AFKing in content and griefing are what trolls do, not casual players. And I don't even know what 'alternative playstyles' means.

Unhealthy people who take this game seriously (i.e., "elites"), are the only people I see spewing toxicity. They get upset when things don't go their way, as if anything that happens in the game matters.
