It’s like the raiding of yesteryear or whatever stands as the elite content in the game. It’s full of elitists who put way too much (in my opinion) into being great at the game.
I suck at this game. Sometimes I’m passable, but I still die in LFR to avoidable mechanics. I can be pretty sick in a timewalk though, so I’m not totally useless.
Thing is, if I judged this game by how good I am at it, I could not play it. I would hang my head in shame and unsub. But lucky for me it’s just a game and there’s a good bit (maybe not currently enough) that I CAN do. I’m old, I have dyskinesia, my reflexes are shot. I can still do open world though and I am more than satisfied with that.
I may move on to something like No Man’s Sky that isn’t ever competitive at all. I’m just not sure that game will hit all the notes this game does. I guess we’ll see in the next six months.
To me this is just a video game, and if I suck at it I can still enjoy it. It’s the same reasoning that causes me to build my own custom Magic The Gathering decks that get stomped into the ground 90% of the time. I have more fun losing on my own terms than winning on someone else’s terms. I guess.
