I’m just getting really tired of people insinuating that people who play their job well, or who enjoy optimization and pushing themselves to get better in the game, are treating the game like a job. No one is forcing 95th percentile play on the “causal playerbase”; they are asking for them to pull their weight when they join in on harder content that requires working with other people to clear. And to, you know, maybe NOT fabricate stories about parser abuse when it clearly did not happen to them.
