That's contingent on the floor for the division making sense though. No disrespect intended because you're obviously a very good player but I don't think you belong in D8 based on your FFR scores. I feel like the line has been very weirdly drawn between you and I on the skill rating leaderboards temporarily which makes me believe you might just want in for whatever exclusive titles or perks will come from this (also potentially in an effort to make me reconsider pitching the need for this to begin with now that perks exist that I won't have access to? I have no idea). Without exerting much effort I feel like I could pass both you and shadow on the leaderboards but simultaneously acknowledge I most certainly don't belong in that division (that's not to imply yours or shadow's top 15s are optimized, just a point I'm illustrating). If after I post this you end up getting some absurd score 103+ equivalency that's more indicative of competing at that level, that's another thing.

And before I get some response involving 'more than skill rating is being factored in here' or something, I'm just stating factually where the line is drawn currently for people that have signed up based on skill rankings. It needs to be higher, even at the expense of including fewer competitors. Someone fucking AAA'd RATO.

For the record, he specifically said to me "I don't want to compete in D8 and it will demotivate me but if I'm not there I'm sure people will be upset" actually said he'd probably not even compete if I put a D8 in. As per his name being changed right away, I did that to test it and make sure it worked.

So no, he didn't put himself there for perks and honestly it bothers me to think you'd actually think that of him.


Edit: It's also pretty silly IMO to be adding a division for literally 5 people to participate in. Which is what it's gonna be if AJ is moved and if he's moved down basically you're saying to me no one else belongs there either that isn't already there.
