Well, just to show how silly it is, A few tours back I finished in the 700s for fighter rank and would have been higher but I didn't get to play most of the last week. Me, in the top 1000? Whatever. I had to play really timid to do that and, while challenging for a diversion, I can't do it regularly cause it takes to much concentration. I'd much rather jump into the nearest furball. Also K/D doesn't take into account picks. I've shot down some big name sticks in furballs as they were targets of opportunity. Has nothing to do with skill level.
