Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

[Leifei]

I do most of the hard content in this game and I tend to scale above average in savage at my best. I used to be in the top 20%, sometimes top 5-10 depending on fight but I haven't done as well in recent tiers.

That said,


Some people simply don't have the capability of getting better than where they currently are.



I'm atrocious at fighting games, no matter how many guides and videos I look up. I suck at fps games, despite understanding how the mechanics in them work.



Not everyone can be good at a specific thing. Doesn't mean they can't still get some enjoyment out of it.

I think you're short changing yourself. Just like how you got good in raiding in FFXIV, you can do the same with fighting games and shooters. It just takes practice. Repetition is the mother of skill.
