Well there are multiple different personalities that we have to cater to when designing a character progression system. You are what we would call a Spike player (going from the terminology coined by the design team of Magic the Gathering).

It's okay that you act like that because following towards a goal that you think is optimal is fun for you.

However, it's our challenge as game designers to make it so that opinions will differ in the player base as to what is optimal. Once you have a diversity of player builds than you will still feel a bond to your character because you still picked between different efficient options that were presented on the internet.
