Then allow me to be just as honest.
You have no data to support making assumptions on my level of play. My words here have no bearing on my performance in game.
I'm all for people pulling their weight. I do my best in whatever game I play. If you took the time to read the other posts I made following that which you quoted, you'd have learned I've used meters in the past in many games and understand how valuable a tool they can be in personal/group betterment. But, as I also mentioned before, not everyone uses them properly. Instead they use them to berate and belittle others or to needlessly prop up their own self-esteem. I may never have been on the receiving end of such treatment but I've seen it happen to others and I don't like it.
You can assume just because I don't like to see other people talked down to or made to feel bad because they may not be as good as you, that I'm a bad player, but you'd be largely mistaken. I'm certainly not the best but I do well enough at what ever role I choose to focus on to successfully clear the content I engage in with minimal to zero wipes. If I'm inclined to engage in progression/bleeding edge content, I'm the type of player you want on your team because I do everything I can to eek out as good a performance as possible. But that doesn't mean I have to be blind to the how people misuse tools like meters and the affects it has in online game communities over several decades.
Just because I'm jaded and cynical doesn't make me bad at the game and trying to shift focus from the topic at hand to how well I may or may not perform in a game is just childish. There's my honest reply.
