You fundamentally miss the point. You have critically missed the point. I have never seen someone so militantly decide not to use their critical thinking skills, if they even have them. Even your crabs in a bucket metaphor is so poorly misused.
You may not engage in PvP, but there are two zones in the game with their own reward structures. How fair do you think it would be for new players and players who do not access the seasons, to play in these zones against players who bring in OP seasonal mechanics?
“Gee, I know what is fair, I will bring all my seasonal power back into the eternal realm and just farm all the new players and players who didn’t play the season. You don’t agree with me? Crabs in a bucket! Crabs in a bucket!”
