10 Video Games That Punish You For Playing Perfectly

You'd think the raid section of World of Warcraft would be the one time you'd be encouraged to be as perfect as is humanly possible at the class you chose. And indeed, if you see (or play) a top tier raid, you'll see people turning what was a hobby into a very serious career for however long it lasts, using their skills to the best of their abilities.

However, it turns out there is such a thing as being too good in this scenario, as some boss fights actively penalise you for basically being too good.

Now, this doesn't seem entirely on purpose, but rather down to the ways some fights are constructed - for example, take Maloriak's first phrase down too quickly, and all the summons he would have used in that phrase will appear in the second, on top of the enemies that appear in that phase, leading to a very bad time.

This can also happen with achievements, as you can beat a boss too quickly and miss the sweet trophy - leading to hilarious circumstances of DPS players having to hold off in order to not kill their enemy quite yet.
