It's not about who needs what, it's about not letting jerks walk over you, it was the principle of the matter, otherwise op wouldn't have stood his ground for so long, he was sending a message to say he wasn't gunna let 2 entitled brats push him around just so they could have their way, and it only would've been easier for them, they had nothing to lose and everything to gain, op solod the whole strike up to that point, why should he lose his progress and his streak and restart the strike just coz those guys couldn't just lfg a third or ask the next person at the beginning of the strike if they want to farm.
