They need to be the one doing the most damage on any single attack.  They need to be the toughest PC.  They need to be the first point for need before greed treasure before anyone else can weigh in... Everyone else is treated like a sidekick who is just respected enough to not call BS on it and they can't accept that someone else does more at something or that they needed help from one of those sidekick types they never really view as anything more .∆ especially single player and fps or  non-team MOBA type games where it's considered socially acceptable for someone to play to DOMINATE doing anything to win or to rub in that win.</blockquote>
