    You understand that people can still enjoy a game, but wish it was better?(in their opinion of course)

    Sure. But to be so entirely negative about gameplay, not to mention the attitude toward the majority of players, really had me doubting that the poster was having any fun. At. All.

    Their subsequent response didn't help that doubt. [Bold face is my own] "The whole game-market is infested by lazy ppl, who just want want want...., but actually have no clue about gaming and can´t even differentiate between good or bad games and have no clue how to play a game. They look at some graphics and animations, j... on halfnaked characters, maybe staying afk in limsa all day long to present some glam and uwu emojis...
    Yes, everyone should have a chance to have fun at a game. But everyone could even have fun in a game with a little bit efford from themselves. That some ppl pay for a bit bling bling and fate grind won´t go in my mind. But if anyone wants some more depth in content and gameplay "Määääh don´t touch my braindead-mode!!!!" It´s absolutely disgusting in which direction the whole gaming industry went because of this bs."

    What they are saying i agree with, games in the industry are being dumbed down so the lowest common denominator so anyone can enjoy it no matter how terrible they are at the game, they can lament how game quality is dropping while also still appreciating parts of the game.

    Greed is ruining the integrity of games throughout the industry, in this case SE wants to dumb down the difficulty so just anyone can play it even if it costs players any semblance of accomplishment or fun.

    The only way you can come to your conclusion is if you have no respect for their intelligence since you would assume they would play a game they weren't having fun with.

    There is no nuance to your assumptions, you see it as all or nothing. Meaning they can't like certain parts of the game and not like others.

    What a terrible bullying mindset. You MUST be trolling.

    Pfui.

    You speak of bullying, yet bandy the word "troll" like a cudgel. Your assumption is that I have no respect for another's intelligence. I want to find out why they play the game, rather than looking for something more in line with their expressed desires. The question was relevant. The response, unfortunately, from them ... was the tirade that you quoted, which doesn't answer the question.

    I was interested in an actual answer from the poster. They have so far not given one.

    I well know the reasons that people play MMOs, and why they might want to continue playing even though they don't like something major about the game. As I said in a subsequent post:

    "Players continue to play MMOs because ... they're invested. "

    Is asking how they're invested now considered "bullying"?
