"Swift completion" is relative to the game, not the community

Sincere question. Why is that bad?

I get what you mean from a personal viewpoint. I enjoy learning. I like growing. I have fun figuring stuff out, seeing how things work together, understanding synergies. But if that’s not someone’s cup of tea it doesn’t bother me. We’re different there, ok. There’s more to people than whether they are driven to excel in a videogame, and out of all the characteristics someone can have I don’t find it a particularly interesting trait either.

My personal experiences with people who lacked that particular drive have been extremely positive overall. They’d be generous with their time and help. They’d be social and kind. They had a great sense of humour and doing dungeons with them was a hoot. I felt blessed for knowing them, and spending time with them.

If anything, I’d say they excelled in humanity. And that beats parses by a thousand, a million, an infinite amount of miles for me. I don’t excuse anything. To me it’s simply the sum of a person. And there is so much more to them than this one thing. With strangers I simply assume it may be the exact same thing.

I fully understand that for you this is something that sits not well with you. We’re different there, ok. But perhaps you can see how people value things differently, and will draw different conclusions based on that.

I guess a lot of people's problem here is, without any communication, it just seems like people are being lazy in a team game. You aren't playing with npcs, but other people.

If a dps is doing 10% of the damage in a dungeon, that means 3 other people are picking up the slack. How is that fair to them?

No one is saying you need to be try harding, but when you are clearly not even pushing buttons, then I have an issue.

You can do more damage by just pressing your combo buttons in order than quite a percentage of df players.
