About people not doing the MO

I keep seeing people talk about how people who aren't participating in the MO should be punished. "Bug divers are why we didn't complete x Bot MO" "Bot divers why we didn't complete x Bug MO." etc. But I think people forget 2 things:

1: End of the day Helldivers 2 is a video game. Why do we play video games? To have fun. Let people have fun and don't punish them for it. That's how you lose a player base.

2: A large portion of the player base are casual players. Players that hop on maybe once or twice a week after a long day at work or school. They don't check the subreddits, twitter accounts, or discord. They just get on and play what they want because they want to destress and not worry about responsibilities.

I do agree that something should be done to incentivize doing the MO. But I don't think it should punish people for not doing it. If about 1/3 of the player base isn't doing the MO. Then something is wrong with the way MOs work, not those players.
