People who play a lot want to feel that their "time investment" was "worth it". If things are too common that anyone playing 1 hour/day can get the same stuff as someone playing 16 hours/day then the latter group feel like they are "wasting their time".
I would say, just play a different game that doesn't have this toxic reward system.
They are addicted to “exclusivity”.
This same type of thing impacts all video games with gambling aspects or drop rates.
I’ve played Diablo 2 for decades and have never once dropped a rune higher ist, and the sub vehemently defends those drop rates.
Many defended the Diablo 4 Uber rare rates.
What’s the point in playing just for some strange exclusivity? Who knows. Gotta ask the people that defend the ever increasing annoying rarity of shit on the premise that they believe they alone play enough to end up in some sort of exclusive club of owners.
