Agree 100% with the edit. It's not necessarily a reflection on your skill, but on your dedication to the game. How much time you put into it. However its more important that it used to be. ANY player can get to 34 with very little time and effort now, versus having to actually work to some degree to get to 30/32. A 34 with a sub 2500 grimoire raises a red flag faster than a 30 with a 3000 grimoire. Doesn't mean they are a bad player for having a lower grimoire, just means, in my mind, they are not as experienced.
