I played all of those you've mentioned and a few you didn't... never was 'elite' never will be. I play to have my fun in my own way... play til its not fun any more and move on. That said, VS start is pretty brutal on the default settings. I am sure that as a newbie I am wasting time/energy somehow someway. I've seen (almost) all of my iterations get a bit better but at this rate I've got at least another twenty plus new game saves to go and hope that luck is on my side to get things right. And as earlier posters said, watching someone spend a day or two in game to dig a trench or something that isn't real exciting isn't going to be a very exciting experience to watch, especially if they don't verbally articulate why they are doing it or explain why it takes so long, ect.
