Why so much hate for min-maxing? [ANSWERED]

Here's the real tea on min maxing.

People that don't min max do it because they prefer something else aesthetically and play for fun. However, they also do not like the idea that people that do min max might have an edge over them or be more desirable in any way. The truth hurts but there is a "best" when it comes to certain aspects of the game. If you don't want to follow the "best" then you are free to not do it, but you also can't get mad at people for doing what has been proven to be superior. It's a game people, if you want to push server first min max no life go do that, and if you want to be a pretty night elf priest do that. No one is stopping you. And if we're being completely honest the people that min max and the people that don't will most likely not play together. The people that do min max will probably be 60 in less than 2 weeks while the rest takes a month or more. I'm sure there will be plenty of room for both so this entire argument is very silly.

People that min max aren't taking your spots because most likely you will not be in the same wave of 60s anyways! Just have fun, if you prefer aesthetics over stats/utility that's okay, just don't go shaming the rest!
