It's possible that the culture of the raiding scene is different over on EU, but this isn't really accurate to my experiences in NA. People do care about the meta, though it's typically restricted to speedkills and Ultimate. I run into plenty of high-end players that circlejerk about the meta in discord, and have been told on multiple occasions by top-tier players that my job choice in a level 70 ultimate is 'tantamount to griefing'.

It's by no means a widespread problem, but it definitely exists among some groups of otherwise good players.

That is the literal WoWification of this game and it is heart breaking. Even if thoe top tier players are not literally from WoW, it's the kind of sentiment that WoW created for MMORPGs. And I hate it. I almost feel misled. When I decided to come to this game 4 months ago, I saw video after video about how there is no meta, play whatever you want, some of the best players in the world are on controller. Oh well.
