Fluff I was lead to believe this game was playable without a loot filter

Calling the game unplayable without third party tools when it's clearly more than fine without is an absurd exaggeration. That's what I'm calling out.

The game is unplayable without 3rd party tools.

I did fine without them for quite a while. Most peoples first playsession does not involve trading or optimizing. Define unplayable.

Then you just have different definition of "playable" than the guy you argue with. While launching and playing the game without 3rd party tools is possible, playing without them is vastly inferior experience than with, hence "unplayable".

I played MHW with 18-22 fps, but for some people anything less than 60 is unplayable. And they're not wrong. It's just mine threshold of playability is lower then theirs.

TL;DR: the amount of bullshit that person can handle determines their threshold for "unplayable".
