This is the worst thread. (Off-Topic)

This requires deciding, arbitrarily, that aesthetics and immersion is of paramount importance. Or to use a deceptive analogy, that "seeing new mountains and views" is important.

This means that those who enjoy optimization and mastery of something are just doing it wrong. Get out there you loser. Stop mastering one thing and go enjoy the view. What you're doing "doesn't matter"!

Do you read? I said mastery is still of paramount importance to enjoyment of games. The problem is that when you get to the point where you speedrun, you've already mastered the game, and are instead playing a NEW game, one far less engaging and with silly new rules.
