How to misinterpret toxicity and entitlement

I've found a fairly interesting article at PokemonGO Hub.

Nothing much to add to the article. Click open the comments and suddenly you're surrounded by the kind of players who are incapable of making the distinction between toxic behaviour and playing the game.

It all comes from a sad feeling of entitlement. I can't be arsed to put in as much effort (time and money) as another player, but I should still get the same in-game benefits as that player.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but you're not. There are three opposing teams. Those three teams are supposed to be rivals, even though there are cooperative aspects of the game -- boss raids foremost of them.

I'm waiting for the next inane flame war where people posit the idea that players should lose and win every second PvP-match because it's more fair that way...
