Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

[MaxCarnage]

In from the cold was great. Imparted a sense of urgency, despair, and weakness. I did it first try but I had to play a lot differently than normal. Some people can't adapt.

Sure, but there's also no ignoring that there are people who just don't want to put in the effort to beat it.

While unrelated to In From The Cold, the other day I was running LotA. One of the DPS that was supposed to be attacking Atomos was instead focusing on the adds that the tank was dragging to the ranged on the pad. One of the healers asked the DPS to focus Atomos while us ranged killed mobs. The DPS said "No. It's just Labryinth, who cares? It's braindead content".

And it's like, I have seen the "It's just [insert duty]" as an excuse to not play properly for years. If it's such braindead easy content, how come people still can't do the content correctly? Unless they're not doing it correctly on purpose. Which coincides with people not wanting to get better or wanting to try.

And btw, naturally we wiped at the last boss. 'Cause it's "braindead".

Wiping on phlegathon is just tradition, going back years.



I'm honestly disappointed when we don't wipe lol.
