No, I completely got the point. I was just having fun with it.

Yep, the "Speed Run" crowd is obnoxious. I can't stand them. And it's not even just faulty game design; people would speed run anyway because people nowadays are incredibly impatient. Everything has to be done now now now now now. If it takes 5 minutes longer than they expect, it's not good enough (once, I actually had a tank abandon a low-level Tam-Tara before the first boss because the "DPS wasn't fast enough").

I really wish I would have played 1.0.. even if it was during the 1.2x time period. It actually makes me sad because the game actually looks interesting.
