There is not anything wrong with competition. People are not wrong for wanting to compete. A true competition between players though is PvP. I'm not big into PvP myself but I did enjoy a good Brenner in XI and would be psyched to see them add it here as well though I have my doubts. They did PvP very well there because it took nothing away from those who didn't like PvP but sadly it wasn't very popular. HNM drops show not so much competition as luck in who can land a claim as well as the drop which gets to the point of not really being a distinguishing factor after a while.
