Outside of this game, I have a friend who is into medieval activities. He likes getting dressed up in armour and hitting people. He hates dancing. But if they are a dancer short, he gets up and joins in. I asked him why, and he said to me that while he gets his fun, there are folk who are acting as referees to the tourneys. Or are away cooking the feast. Or doing any number of other things that make a medieval festival an enjoyable package event where everyone gets to have their fun the way they want to. So why should he be the one to spoil the dancers fun, if by getting up on his two left feet he can let them have their dance?
So play this game “your” way. Get as much enjoyment from it as you can. Just because somebody is playing different, don’t let it get to you. Don’t rail on them, because they are entitled to have fun too and are entitled to get their fun the way they want to. Nobody is wrong, just different.
As for the devs, they seem to try to cater to everyone. However as the old saying goes, they aren’t going to be able to do it all of the time. Your time will come around again though.
So relax. This time around, maybe you are the one getting up on your two left feet and dancing. In short order, you’ll get to have fun hitting people again.
