I was talking about this with someone else just a few minutes ago, and this is my stance on it.
I don't have that mindset, no. Â I play the game for a specific role as opposed to a specific class. Â With that said, however, I abjectly refuse to condemn or belittle someone for looking at the game differently.
Not everyone is going to view the game the way I do. Â I have an almost harsh, "You do what is necessary for the raid's success, because that is the goal and your personal enjoyment is secondary in a group scenario." Â In World of Warcraft, I leveled multiple characters of the same class and role (i.e. multiple Priests, Shaman, Druids, etc) for the purposes of class-stacking and split runs with my raid group. Â When I found out that I couldn't play my favorite and preferred spec in our raid because they needed me to play the spec that I quite literally detested, I sucked it up and swapped to that spec and geared for it. Â Because, for me, the success of my raid was way more important.
But that's my mindset, and it won't be everyone's mindset, nor should it be. Â And I do remember how long it took for me to branch out from my original spec and class when I first started playing, and WoW was a much easier game to level in, given that I had all of those shiny quests and didn't have to worry about cross-class abilities. Â If someone only likes WHM and that's the only thing that's keeping them going, that's totally okay. Â It's not my mindset, and it never will be, but they have a right to that mindset. Â It's not stupid, wrong, or even narrowminded. Â Sometimes you just really fall in love with one playstyle and end up hating another (reference: I adore Holy Priest, I detest Disc, but I play them both in WoW. I do know people who refuse to play one spec or another). Â There's nothing wrong with that.
