Also, carrying wow numbers isn't saying much. WoW has lower numbers than about every single MMO out there. Blizzard has a habit of ruining everything they touch.

Point is, no matter what you do the entire game culture is about min/maxing everything possible. Always will be. You can try to make a casual laid back piece of content and most idiots will still min/max it.
No idea where you're pulling those numbers from but they're wrong.

that aside WoW has 4th highest playerbase numbers between MMOs on western part of the world (Runescape -> PoE -> ffxiv -> wow -> LA is top 5 rn), as awful as that game has become, it has numbers, and classic's playing a big part in that.

Point is, different players play the game differently, and only "idiot" as you call it, is a person who cares about how other people spend their time. disgraceful behavior. they dont have much going in their livese so they have a need to stick their noses in other peoples business.
