I feel like this was a thinly but effectively veiled way to ask a question I'd be curious to see people's answers to. I believe the bottom line of what the OP was getting at is "would you be ok with being matched only with players with your amount of skill/knowledge/effort put in"? I know a lot of people I've run into feel like they play "well enough" and while they admit there is room for improvement they don't feel like they should bother doing more than their definition of "well enough". Yet I'd be willing to bet the majority of people who feel that way, if asked, would not want to be locked in to playing only with those who approach the game the same way. What the implications of that are you can leave to imagination but it's an interesting thing to think about...
