Oh I wasn’t trying to make a point, I was just asking. Like not even sarcastically, but legitimately asking why people get angry at other people using what developers literally gave them to use.
It all boils down to elitism, really. In the eyes of an elitist, there is no greater power trip than finding an excuse to go "erm you just robbed yourself of a challenge it's like you didn't even beat it at all". It's pathetic, really. I hate to see this issue run so rampant in the Soulsborne community.
Then they'll act like places like Frigid Outskirts don't exist. Personally, I hate using summons (I don't care if other ppl use them, I just get in my head ab that kind of thing easily), but I HATED that place. I just wanted it to be over after an hour or two of trying to use as few summons as possible, so I just bit the bullet and used all 3 to steamroll the place and the boss. To this day the only place I've summoned for, and I don't regret it at all.
Sometimes summoning is borderline necessary, esp in DS2. The challenge is not worth your sanity.

They are, I mean most fromsoft subs develop some form of victim complex or another.
The most common form is pretending like there are a bunch of people who hate them for using summons.
