What a simplisitic view of gaming you have. Don't paint me with that low resolution view of yours either. You paid for it, that's great. However, what you paid for is the opportunity to compete. Just because you pay an entry fee doesn't give you the right to the prize, it means you have the right to compete. I don't even have the damn gun, so don't think I'm searching for some sense of acconplishment that you have yet to earn yourself. This is more than me wanting to feel elite, it's about what direction this game is going in - do we have goals and prizes that are hard to reach but worth it, or do we just make things more accessible. But your intellect is too narrow to see the more abstract discussion here.
