I stated that as a personality trait for some people. You didn't understand that though.
I've read the OP and a few posts in between and I apologize for missing your main argument between replies. And as for your analogy to personal traits, sure some people will always take that easy way out and I agree that those who do put in the work will appreciate it more in the long run.
My replies to this topic have been in the sense of modding itself and I feel that in all honesty it's just a game, nothing you do in it reflects who you are as a person, you just play to waste time. I find no real achievement in earning a virtual rank on something that means absolutely nothing nor benefits you as a person by any means. If you honestly care about people modding you care a little too much about your video games, but then again, this is just my opinion.
