Because we do not all live in vacuums (Destiny)

by kidtsunami , Atlanta, GA, Friday, August 28, 2015, 12:56 (3166 days ago) @ Monochron

Your caring or not caring about what level you are doesn't diminish others' caring of what they accomplished, or it shouldn't anyway. You can not care all your want, but telling other people they shouldn't enjoy what they see as an accomplishment is just strange.

Because you caring matters in the end. I care about that the overall market encourages this type of valuation in games.

At a direct level, you enjoying that hollow achievement that level gives you actively encourages developers to scratch that itch for you. So many settle for it and we see how many bizarre issues have arised in Destiny because they're encouraging you to play with silly rewards. This is focus taken away from making the game richer in other ways, and therefor bothers me.

At a macro level, I just think humanity would be better off discouraging celebrating insignificant achievements.
