The problem with "just getting good at the game" is that it may take even more time than theorycrafting that has some objectively better result (the usual term that WoW players used when I played at least). With action games there's a certain point when you can play more but you're at a plateau because you're limited by skill and have few means to even know what to improve. Focused practice matters for any activity involving skill, but I dunno what black abyss of learning exists between me flailing my mouse like an idiot and the dudes that no scope headshots on 20 pixels reliably. Industry marketing likes to tell me I need a new mouse (some 4000+ dpi thing), new monitor (144 Hz+), but I think I'm missing something more basic like basic hand-eye coordination that gear will not solve.
