Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

[kaynide]

Same reason average people don’t try to “git gud” at Uno, or checkers, or tic tac toe.

It’s entirely unnecessary to play and get through 99% of the game. If you are talking endgame raids/hardmode, then yeah sure gotta get better…but that’s not the vast majority of the game.

If the inclusion of NPCs to carry players through dungeons wasn’t a clue, the selling point of the game is the story and/or hang-out-with-friends aspect, not “look at mah l33t gamer skills”.
