Lol "just wow" he says in attempt to discredit my perfect analogy to why people think this is ok. The principle is the same. Thousands of companies in the world go under because they want to be nice and hold relatives hands when they're atrocious workers. instead of firing them, they want to hold their hands and make sure they're loved, all the while pissing money away because they're lazy and unproductive. If you aren't good enough to get a raise, too bad. Work at it. Learn your craft! You want to get the lighthouse so bad? Work at it and play more crucible. Get good friends to help you play better. No? Ok just take the shortcut and pay the "smart kid in class" to get you here. Point is: this thought process has perverted the new generation. Why are they so lazy? Because they get their hands held all through life and get ribbons for sucking at things. When what they need to do is teach them to be competent and productive. If everyone was working to be better rather than see how little effort they can put in with the most reward, I bet humans would be on Mars already. Carrying people to the lighthouse is saying to the world "you don't need to be good at crucible (the whole point of the lighthouses existence is for good crucible players) all you need to do is cheese it with better people doing it for you." So you don't need to work or learn. Or accept the fact you aren't good enough for this particular activity. You can believe you deserve something when, if fact, you don't. As you can tell, this is a very passionate about this subject because it's a deeper problem than just a video game. It's socialism. Albeit, very very mild socialism, but it's still some "everyone deserves a ribbon, even the fat lazy people who didn't finish" mentality bringing humanity down.
