What's funny is bad players seemingly don't care about their dps at all, yet they want the best shinies because it makes them stronger. Basically they are saying:"I don't care about my damage, but I want to do more damage".

Learning how to play boosts their dps from 400 to 1000-1300, they don't want that.
Getting better gear boosts their dps from 400 to 420, they feel stronger!

Humans are truly illogical creatures.
