See, I don’t ask to be obnoxious. I honestly want to understand what people mean by minmaxing. “HC” team of my current guild doesn’t do either of those, but they seriously compete for realm first clears (got realm second P2). What I imagine as minmax is training on PTR, having optimal group setup (and bench rotation set up around that) and popping potions/runes/jc necks and drums on cooldown in each of those optimized groups.
I can and would like to do all that, but I have 2 kids and a wife, so I can not guarantee I won’t just afk for 5min mid raid if one of them starts to cry or gets into some trouble. So I have no business dragging a minmaxing team down. And I don’t.
It’s really annoying, since I despise playing with what the other poster above called type 2, the “shi**ers”. Can’t even imagine what goes through the head of someone coming to raid unenchanted or with green gems or without consumes or not knowing at leats basic strategy. Yet I can’t commit to full “minmax” playstyle because I’m a 3 wife 5 job and a dog boomer.
I guess I’m that proverbial non-existant middle ground
