I'll start by saying this, I consider myself a better than average console FPS player. A number of years ago I was invited to the COD expo free of charge, where I got to compete in the million dollar tournament. When I am trying to win, it is only on very rare occasions that I don't land in first place on my team. That's my disclaimer.
In destiny I usually hover around a 1.5 kd. Why so low for someone who is supposed to be a good player? Because I like to test unpopular builds and guns (I have a Payment IV with hipfire and secret round that I am in love with), and I intelligently play to the objectives.
What I've personally found about Guardians rocking 1.8 or above is that they almost exclusively use the best meta builds and weapons possible. I don't see much experimentation or exploration in regard to character building or weapon rolls. This is fine, albeit a bit boring.
What gets me about many of these players, is that they often get these extra kills at the expense of the team. What do I mean by that? Not playing the objective, not defending the objective, not defending relevant checkpoints, rushing/flipping spawns just to get extra kills, and running away from objectives in conflict.
I would much rather be on a cooperative team of 1.5's than a group of boring/rigid +2.0's who work opportunistically off of the teams back.
What do my fellow guardians think?

I know the ppl u talk about, they hide behind the other players and run off and leave you 2vs1 as soon as they get shot. I also know that some ppl will make the worst guy on the fireteam the leader to get a lower pool and then you have the ppl that drop before games end to save k/d, but some ppl are just that good. I play my best when I play ppl better than me and they make me a better player.
