Why? It's exactly the people who understand the game the best who can suggest ways to improve it.

Look at it this way. Who would you rather suggest changes to a Formula 1 car, Lewis Hamilton, or Steve-the-janitor?

Mind you, a purple player might look at the game from a competitive standpoint while WG seems to want it accessible for the casual player.

Your gut feeling is up again?

Who is Lewis Hamilton?

I dare say purple people eaters are more likely to be aware of the extent to which game mechanics can be used and abused. As opposed to the argument of how terribly designed this nail is.

You have F1 confused with Nascar.

Yes, but as I remember, he was only number 2 on the old Top Gear F1 board.

Are you denying he's a purple in F1'ing?

So how bad do you need to be at the game to make useful suggestions?

Do you sail backwards towards objectives?  It's a good place to start.

I love when people decide who can and can't complain/make suggestions based on their stats. 

 

Do my stats preclude me from making observations? Hope not cause I want the forum to bring back the down vote.

No, but time has shown that the quality of the player often corresponds to the quality of the suggestion. Not always, far from, but often.

Absolutely not, only that he's was number 2 in a very elite list of F1 drivers that did "A Star in a resemble priced car", as I said, like I remember. If you like him, I recommend watching him in that bit. He was funny.

I find it hilarious that purple stats are considered a measure of skill, when really they're a measure of skill at exploiting the game mechanics to increase your stats.

 

Seal Clubbing

Damage farming

Only playing in divisions

Rerolling your account

etc.

 

I have a 54% W/R which I guess makes me about average.  But I NEVER play in divisions and play mostly tiers 6-8 despite having some good Seal Clubbers in my port.

Must be lonely never playing with friends. 

 

Divisioning does not mean piles, it depends on who you division with. I've divisioned with really good players and I've divisioned with really bad players. The common denominator is that I enjoyed playing with the people I division with. One of the reasons I don't like ranked is the long grind with no friendly faces in sight...
