This behavior, likened to meerkats popping up, involves asserting the superior difficulty of Frontier's obscure monsters in discussions. While acknowledging Frontier's genuinely higher challenge and complexity, the article argues that the delivery of this knowledge can be exclusionary, hindering community growth and new player engagement.
