You've got it exactly backwards. I do not want or need to gain something for myself. I just do not want to completely dominate the experience that my friends have. I do not want to prevent them from contributing. I do not want to force them on to welfare. I want to play with them, to cooperate.

It's completely fine with me if i get nothing at all out of it. It's not completely fine if I trivialize their own experience, or teach them to be bad players, or teach them that everything they could possibly want will simply be handed to them.
