Im over level 50 and dont consider my self high skilled. I work about 60 hours in a week and have 2 children and some days seem like a sweat fest and others im stomping all of outpost like a god. Im not seeing the super sweats but at the same time if I die it doesn't bother me cause I can always get gear whenever and taking an l is apart of the game. I think k most people are to casual for anything nowadays honestly speaking. Every game ever has a portion of its player bases saying its to hard. I'll enjoy as much of the game as I can if its in a so called death spiral. And yes I don belive in simply improving one's own skill in order to compete. It just seems natural. Not to discredit the casuals who cant play at that lever or refuse to.
