Not intended to be disparaging but I view the above quote as rather skewed and biased. In response to your "Play to Win" example and substitute a heavy roleplayer who only wants to talk about themselves as equally irritating to a normal party. The point is that there are more archtypes that...

To be fair.... a player will not know how everything is going to work in advance without consultation with the DM. To many issues within the game that is chalked up to "Expect Table Variation" (ETV)... from spells to game mechanics, many items not cut and dry and definitely gray
