You're spot on. I'm rewarding myself for being better then the general population. That's how it works.

No. That's not how competition works. They don't turn the New York Yankees loose on the local high school teams....and call that "competitive". ..and the shitstomping the Yankee's "reward" for being good. Like so many shooter gamers, you like to win....but apparently don't really like to compete. Farming players who don't have a realistic shot at beating you isn't "competition". Its pub-stomping...and it sure-as-shit isn't fun or "casual" for the players on the receiving end of that abuse.

It's a casual playlist. If the Yankees signed up for a community free for all softball game you're saying they shouldn't be allowed to play because they're better? So you want Bungie to punish good players. So you want there to be forced competition because you wont make the effort to build a good team. Stop using sbmm as a crutch or go play pve. The best players deserve to shine.

Casual for WHO? [quote]So you want Bungie to punish good players.[/quote] Playing someone of your own ability is never a punishement. For a true competitor....its the reward for all the work you've put in. [quote]So you want there to be forced competition because you wont make the effort to build a good team.[/quote] My .....people being "forced" to compete in a COMPETITIVE shooter GAME. What the -blam!- was I thinking and what has this world come to? [quote]Stop using sbmm as a crutch or go play pve.[/quote] SBMM is actual competition. Kicking the crap out of people who have no realistic chance of actually beating you? THAT'S THE CRUTCH. In fact---in sports---no one worthy of being called an athlete would try to claim---never mind defend---some ""right" to take advantage of the weak. [quote]The best players deserve to shine.[/quote] The best players shine BY PROVING THEIR WORTH AGAINST THE BEST. Not kicking the crap out of someone's 8 year old sister who barely knows which end of the controller to point at the screen. You want the rewards...without putting in the work....and risking the failure. Typical.
