Judging a player by whether or not they have a clear is a poor measurement of ones ability.
Someone who has a clear has the ability to get a clear - diligence, friends, or buying a run. Someone who doesn't have a clear has none of those things. That's a pretty good measure. Again, I don't care at all - if you don't have a clear you don't belong in a farm party, period. If someone really wants a win, they will work for it and find a way. Some people have to put in more effort than others.

I want to think you're being sarcastic, but most likely just bitter.
