    I think there’s different personalities involved here. The other thing that I’m personally curious about, did you play the sim and then think, “I should get this gear” or did you get the gear before ever playing it?

    I think what’s mostly the target of ire is people that have the mindset of having to buy their way to the top. Or trying to make up for lack of skill not by continuing to try the sport/event/game out, but getting the best of everything trying to avoid ever looking ‘not good’ at it despite it being obvious to everyone play that they’ve not done this thing before.

    And not everyone is like this obv, but a lot of these people don’t want to put in the effort to get better, just want to buy their way to the top. Somewhat related are the poor folks that put in huge amounts of time trying to get better but can’t afford good gear. And then someone shows up with the top notch stuff, plays once and never uses the stuff again. Obviously it’s their money, but is a shit feeling when you’re cash strapped to see good gear rot.
