Call me crazy, but I don't think most gamers actually want to kill people. I prefer no real world consequences when I shoot people.

I was tanking and wiped three times on the sea giant in Siege of Boralus yesterday, at Mythic +3, before I remembered the giant statue in the middle of the area blocks the wave attack.

Top gamer.
