Not really. It's a mentality that comes from a lack of anything to actually do in this damn game except try to hit higher.
[MENTION=1483]godofturtles[/MENTION]; You're right, you don't need to hit high to enjoy the game, but the game is a hell of a lot more enjoyable if you can hit high.
I hear the same question asked over and over on basil, "Do you play for fun or for damage?", as if you can't play for both simultaneously. The issue is that the game is so dependent on damage nowadays that even if you have terrible damage, you're going to have to rely on others with higher damage to be able to kill higher-end bosses.
But that's Nexon's entire point, really - they want you to try to achieve higher damage because that's how they get their money.
