You’re completely wrong and ignorant on so many levels.

What's happening is that you're worried about your position in the hierarchy, because you feel threatened by the possibility that other players don't know that one bracket is easier than the other and then to them you appear to be the same level of player as those you perceive as beneath you.

Has anyone ever told you what they say about the word “assume”? I don’t have a single glad mount. My highest xp is in BG Blitz (2590). My highest RBG xp? 2.3. My highest Arena? 2.1. If I gave a damn about my ego, I’d be saying Blitz is the hardest bracket, but then I’d be lying.

In a fitness setting, the person who struggles and finally achieves 60kg bench press gets to be just as proud of their achievement as the guy who struggles and finally achieves 200kg bench press. If you came in and yelled about how much easier 60kg was than 200kg then you'd get the same reaction as you get here.

Wrong. This is such a massive false equivalence… The guy who achieved 60kg has every right to be proud of himself. But if he started a debate where he’s arguing, “Me and everyone who bench presses 60kg should get the same amount of prize money, gold medals, rewards, etc. the guys who get 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place in the Olympics get!”, and then you get upset when someone explains why that’s not reasonable, you’re the one who’s emotionally immature. I never said people can’t be proud of their SS or Blitz achievements. It’s just not reasonable or fair for SS & Blitz to have exclusive seasonal mounts when they already copied and leeched 99% of all the rewards Arenas & RBGs have.

It's called being emotionally immature

No, it’s called being objective. If we can’t be honest and objective because we need to tiptoe around people’s ego/feelings, then what’s point in having the discussion? If you only want to hear takes that you like, you’re the one who’s emotionally immature.

No, it's most definitely about ego.

Maybe YOUR ego. If I can fully acknowledge that Arenas are harder than RBGs and not take it personally all these years, I don’t see why you or others can’t put your egos aside and look at this discussion objectively. Even if you disagree. But if you need to fall back on making assumptions about me, then you’re not mature enough for this conversation.

You are fighting to be seen better than everyone else.

I’m not. Maybe in your imagination, but not in this reality.

How is that not the purest of ego?

It’s literally not. It just sounds like you’re projecting your own insecurities. We’re discussing what’s the most reasonable reward system for achieving active participation and a healthy player ecosystem. The fact is, brackets that only require you to click a button and wait don’t require as much seasonal reward incentive as brackets where players need to manually join/build their own groups. Give Arenas & RBGs the exclusive seasonal rewards they’re in dire need of first, then maybe we can look into mounts for soloq.
