Both treat the game as if it were a video game to be won. They both stem from MMO culture. Finding lists of best-in-slot items. Reading blogs about the best optimized / perfect builds. The attitude of anything less than the perfect build is stupid or a waste of time. Watching boss fight / raid videos for strategies. Grinding until you get the best loot. Etc.It's basically the same as players reading the Monster Manual and finding monster vulnerabilities...or any other form of metagaming.Yes, it's been around awhile. Yes, I've dealt with it in real life. Yes, I've had players cheat by reading the module ahead of time. I think it's old and you're just noticing it now.</blockquote>
