My problem is I want to bother with only the things I want to bother with and absolutely 0 of what I don't. I obviously did it, it was just annoying. I expect games to recognize what is boring filler content and hold my hand so I can spam-click through their dry-assed unvoiced wall-o-texts and put up a nav thing on my screen so I can b-line for it.
Don't feel like that's asking too much, especially when there are other things I HAVE to do before being allowed to get to the thing I want.
I completed floor 5, and just because I won't ever be competitive with whales doesn't mean I get no sense of accomplishment from doing harder content in the game. I'd have fun playing dark souls even if I were the only person in the world playing it, for instance.
I have genuine fun with a lot of the game, as stated. I just also hate so much because it's so generic and boring. I'm at a point in life where all I want out of any game now is just 100% meat without anything else.

basically no game is "for me" 100%. Guaranteed when Elden Ring comes out, which is likely to be my all-time favorite game, if I find something I dislike, I'll bitch about it on this forum.
To that end, I'll play as long as they keep releasing new things I DO enjoy because the actual combat itself is entertaining, the characters are cool, and the story is good enough to get the job done. That already makes it better than 99% of games released. Maybe if this were the early-2010s again and I had a constant stream of single player RPGs to keep me occupied, I wouldn't be playing this, but times are hard for someone with my tastes. Seems like only 1-2 titles worth trying every year and most of them flop (looking at you cyberpunk and fallout 76).
Sorry forums are my venting space. I've been tainted by years of shit talking, bitching, and back and forth arguing on wow's for decades. I'm not stopping now, though
I praise things if I like them, as well.
They're annoying without a healer and I feel for you if you really don't want to run one. One of the shortcomings of the game is the cheesy mechanics they introduce that necessitate you running people you might not like. Wolves are definitely one of them. I always run bennet, so healing is no problem for me, but if you hate all the support characters or just like 4 other characters that much more... some things can be rough.
Any time I have to use Ganyu or Eula instead of Diluc, I cry.
