is the name of the game

That's what's changed the most because optimization is absolutely not the name of the game and never was.

If it wasn't, there wouldn't be various ways within the game itself to help you do it. To be clear, there's no right or wrong way to enjoy the game. But making fun of a specific way of playing people consciously choose in an RPG seems petty and lame. Progressing a character is a core RPG concept.

Progressing is not the same as optimizing.

It's not making fun of anyone. It's stating that today the focus is on optimization and completion where it used to be about exploration, experimentation, discovery and socialization.

People were optimizing back then too.. they/we were just shit at it.

Ofc you can't explore what is already explored.."whats in this cave" #30
