How so? Him responding the way he did below shows that he just wants to keep the list since no one was there to encourage him or aid him and give him motivation. Not an accusation, but more of an implied point.

referring to:

ok i agree with Corey. Who the hell was there when I was an average player? when any of you were? No one was. Even in the last official where everyone was saying how I am going to win D3, no one encouraged me or complimented my scores.

He's also considering himself as "not a top player", but if the tier point system is "top players/elite players", then he's on it.

As I said before, the tier point list is way too geared toward the extremely high level players (you're talking at an exclusive group that's nowhere near 4 figures out of every single person who plays the game with an account). For it to be called a "tiered" list just isn't right because all that's being done is you're giving tiers to the "top players" on the site regardless. Those people with 9s/10s AAAs are doing what a huge majority of the players that actually have an account can't even dream of. They just don't realize it because these people aren't active in the forums/community/etc. - why do they deserve to be left in the dust? There's some players who have level 10/11 AAAs who have no posts in the forums whatsoever (like this one, and they are just as good) and have a low amount of tier points because they can't be bothered to knock all of the songs down. Granted, this person hasn't been on the site long, but does this mean that they shouldn't be worthy?

Those who don't play the game competitively or within the community still deserve recognition on songs that only a handful of people can do.
