You know, you just found the actual disconnect in the thread.
The people who can only play on the mercy of others (ie, random pug raids, mythics, and rated battlegrounds) are the ones that "need" to min/max just to be accepted.
The people who want more diverse options so they can have, you know, actual fun playing a video game don't give a single, solitary fuck about random pug raids, mythics, and rated battlegrounds or the people who can only "play' that way.
But like a good Republican in modern day America, only YOU and what YOU want matters. Fuck choices for anyone else. God fucking knows it will have zero impact on you as you have to run to the web to find out what someone else tells you you need to pick in order to play the game (all the while demonstrating that you know fuck-all about it yourself). There must be no choice! Only what you and you alone want matters!
Fuck that.
