Should have just named the thread "I have a theory about players of every role."

90% of the people in any given role are trash in the eyes of top tier players. Another 9% are what would be considered average. And then there's 0.9% that are good, well before you get to the great players. It's pretty much like this in any game, but my god, I think this is the lowest skilled player base I have ever seen. It doesn't matter the role, it's rare to see someone that looks like they know what they're doing.

Yet they're trying to.

Clearly they don't know the definition of "average" then. Unless they think their .9% somehow evens out with the 95% "trash"(it might though, I've seen entire squads take out entire teams). The only reason elites exist, such as the imperfects, is because there are players of lesser skills out there for them to kill. If everybody was equally skilled then it would be almost impossible for anyone to go 20/30-0 in a match. Those people are simply freakishly good and they should not hold everybody else to their standard, let alone belittle others by calling them "trash".

I did say in the eyes of top tier players, not the literal average player. My designation of "trash" are the people your team would generally be better off without. I mean, how often do you see a team with huge amounts of 2/17 and 0/8 (not the ones with large amount of WP, mind you)? What are they doing, and why are there so many of them in this game? The people who refuse to acknowledge that they need to spawn somewhere else when they're getting spawn killed for their 5th time in a row. What the hell is wrong with these people? And they make up such a large portion of the player base. The point was, it's not just about HAV drivers. There are sooo many bad players that it's not isolated to just one role. There are some godawful HAV drivers out there, don't get me wrong, but they can't sustain that role with it being so ISK expensive. There's plenty of bad [any other role] out there too, though, that it's not just an issue with the HAVs. People gravitate toward what they like, or what they think is fun or cool, a small section going to what is useful for the group rather than what they want to use. Role selection isn't being determined by player skill, there are bad players everywhere.
