I’m going to break this down to you in one final attempt.
I’m going to use the analogy of driving vs World of Warcraft.
Your complaint is like driving on a road and complaining that some drivers drive stick, and some have automatic cars.
You will never know who is who or who drives what. You will get great stick drivers, and bad stick drivers. You will get great auto drivers, and bad auto drivers. You won’t know. And it doesn’t affect you or your car in the slightest, or at least it doesn’t change much.
Now, the key difference here is how you and I view our visit to Disneyland.
You see it as an achievement. A great thing you’ve acomplished by clutching to shift gears while dodging other cars and following road signs. You go on a rant about how it’s so much easier for others to just put the car in Drive and go, and how that defeats the whole purpose of getting to Disneyland because now the stick drivers don’t have their recognition.
I see it as the world is right now. I don’t care if you drive stick, if you drive automatic, or if you have a fancy self-driving car.
- Did you get there?
- Did you have fun?
- Did you get to see Disneyland?
That’s awesome, buddy. It was supposed to be:
A FUN WEEKEND
to start with.
So please understand that I’m not the one lacking the necessary empathy on this matter. You’re placing worth on something that does not give you any reward other than seeing your character on top of a mount, which is the same as arriving somewhere and seeing Mickey Mouse.
You will have spent money, you will have gotten no money back, and if by any chance you’d be able to get to a point where you would become a professional racer and race for money, then the loss in the automatic car would already be seen as a bad thing and no one in there would use it.
Other than that, we’re all spending money on the same road, trying to get to Disneyland, and you’re striving for segregation of different drivers, for no reason at all but your imaginary “self-worth” for clutching.
