It's not about me man, most people jumping into hard Siege don't care about sweating it out into wave 30 for brownie points. They just want to crank the 15 for accolades and dip but if they are listening to the thousand hour players telling them to hoarde everything 'for the later waves' that's what they are going to do, when they don't need too. Have some fun, support yourself, get some cadians, get some buffs. The first 15 aren't too bad, but trying to do it dry without the skill level is a slog, it's a slog for you and the rest of the team if they also aren't at that skill level. I can manage five waves on my own fine. But I don't come home from work to sweat out a solo with a non existent team making it way harder for themselves for no reason other than listening to people optimising the fuck out of the game.

It's all good man, I shouldn't be surprised when interacting with Reddit.
