Oh, of course it’s a personal thing.
I’m not trying to say retail is awful and no one should play it. I’m saying its a terrible fit for me, because that sort of thing bothers me, even though it is mostly all in my head.
If I sign up to be on a raid team, I feel like I have an obligation to do a minimum level of preparedness. I know the bosses will likely drop either way, but if I don’t do my due diligence it feels bad.
I don’t play games to feel bad, so I stopped playing retail when it started disrespecting my time.
