What's the point of having other people beat the game for you while you sit all the way back doing nothing?

What's the point of having other people beat the game for you while you sit all the way back doing nothing?
I see this happening way too often where the host just re-summons their friends indefinitely until they "win", while the phantoms have full endgame gear and instant-bleed builds. Is that fun for them?
I know the the memes saying if you used X weapon you didn't beat the game or if you used the NPC ghosts you didn't beat the game, but that is miles better than literally not beating the game, since your friends did it for you.

seriously who honestly cares
let people play how they want

but theyre not playing, theyre watching others play it. the people who summon tend to also be the ones looking up where to find gear and essentially go out of there way to ensure they dont have to play the game. you cant say they are enjoying it if they are going to such means to avoid engaging with it

This. Freedom of choice on how to play is what makes this game great.

Again, stop caring how others play.
This board goes on about summoning and then 90% of threads is whining that bosses are too hard.

That host was actually disabled, you literally invaded a 5 year old being carried by his like older brothers or something and are complaining

>Again, stop caring how others play.
Do I have to care about it to discuss something? The fact is they are avoiding having to play the game as much as I can, which leaves me to think they are not enjoying the game. I don't have to protest in the street just because I made an observation.

>This board goes on about summoning and then 90% of threads is whining that bosses are too hard

kek so true

a 5 year old shouldn't be playing fucking Elden Ring

seriously who honestly cares
let people play how they want

oh so you're just buttmad because you wanna be a big bad invader, but can't handle basic gank squads lmao

it's definitely this

It only really bothers me when some faggot shitter summons me to kill a boss while he just watches. If you have friends who are willing to do it for you then whatever

>blatant twinking
>cant rollcatch for shit
>cant punish that extremely easy to punish malenia weapon art
>host gives you a free 1v1 against the (terrible free easy kill) phantom and you still rush for a scarlet rot proc on the host anyway
>blindly tunnel vision on the host because youre a twink who can get away with it
im an invader who hates 3v1ing gank retards but faggots like you are the reason they exist. dont cry about how other people play the game when you're so shit at it you have to twink low levels to compensate for how incredibly shit you are at pvp.

Bragging rights. They can say they technically "beat" the game that way. A lot of people avoid engaging the game as much as possible by other ways too, like playing the most low-effort playstyles possible like Glintstone spamming (see 0:16 in this video twitter.com/MarkMan23/status/1503088125362380803) because even if it bores the shit out of them, they still do it just so that they can win.
You'd really be surprised by how far people would go to avoid engaging in the game or avoid putting in effort as much as possible.

>who honestly cares?
A lot of people do.
You do too. Otherwise, why are you even engaging in this discussion if you claim to not care? If you truly didn't care, you wouldn't even respond to OP twice with the same copy pasted response.

doesnt matter who cares, we're trying to have a discussion. you can observe things and talk about it without being invested.

And how is twinking wrong? Should you just go with your starting gear and face the 2 phantoms with honor? fuck off, I bet you are one of those faggots that are pushing for SL 150-200 pvp

i didnt even say twinking was wrong, i just find it funny someone so incredibly shit at the game would post a video of themselves not just twinking but also being incredibly shit at the game, in order to make fun of someone else for how they were playing. im sure this guy was eclipse shotel killing people before it was nerfed too.

Just a bandwagonning NPC. He is "playing" only because that is the current command.

>friends
There's your answer. Anything can be fun with friends. You can probably imagine the three of them in that video are probably chatting it up on discord or some shit, see an invader and tell the host to go hide, one tries to kill the boss quickly, the other tries to hold off the invader, the host looks like a retard so either underage/casual/gurl, end up losing, one of them probably say man fuck that twink asshole, don't worry about it we'll try that boss again then go about their day.
For them it's less about the game itself and just hanging out with friends and having fun together in their own way.

It's called pear pressure but who cares it's more money for From Software.

did you never play diablo 2 online lol

>no friends loser mad at friends having fun
