I understand that some people are strongly focused on their main hobby and they need to be best in what they do. I do freeride skiing, rock climbing, mountain biking… people consider them as extreme sports, I don’t. I know my limits and I know that I am miles away from what is extreme and what is professional level in these sports. Do I admire professionals? Yes Do I wish to be at their level? Hell no! I enjoy all those sports a lot because I do them at hobby level. I am still looking for improvements but at hobby level, I am not trying to become professional.
I’ve seen Thunderwolf450 game play today. He played like professional and won all games. However I do not wish to play like him because I would simply not enjoy such game style. Maybe the main problem here is that you, top tier players, expect that everyone’s goal is to be top tier player. At least I do not wish to be, so I do not see any gain I would get from playing with arrogant people like Scarface_1983.
I have no clue why most of top tier players have such attitude. You guys paid same amount for game as all those randoms you make fun of. Don’t tell me, you haven’t noticed Sony logo when the game starts… I would say little hint that main market for this game is Playstation. Illfonic confirmed game is balanced by statistics they collect and what a surprise most of games are just randoms put together… for them the game is balanced. If you don’t like they quit then turn off crossplay or go and compete in private matches. Or maybe play without perks/gear/macros to challenge yourself against those randoms. If they don’t get melted in first minutes of game every time they play against you then they may not fear quit when they see your names.
