[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BRMrPurple I've won a 178 game with no loses and im a level 15 but you know what i doesn't matter how the system works because I'm having fun and the people i play with don't can about a stupid number. A number shouldn't be the reason to play a game because if it is then you are missing the point. You don't play to show off your rank you play to have fun. If you are only playing for rank there is a high chance you won't play very long on the game anyways. If you want to prove how good you are go play in a live event like mlg. Playing live to prove how good you are is like a minnow in the ocean yelling I'm the biggest here.[/quote]People in your situation generally complain because they aren't getting any competition not because they care about the number next to there name. In most cases an individual would find winning 178 games against people that can't compete very boring. Apparently you enjoy it but I think your an exception. The other problem with this is the people you are beating don't enjoy playing you. It's really not fair to them at all. So this does in fact matter. However, this problem is getting looked into and hopefully it can be remedied by Bungie. [Edited on 11.29.2007 2:31 PM PST]
