Eskimo fortunately I dont care what you think. However you do spend so much time telling me and anyone that will listen how badly I suck how poorly I play how my rank does not mean anything and how boring it must be play the way I do.
Yet I still have more fun then I have at any other game. I still daily requests for films. I give check rides and pointers to more people then you even talk to. I get supplies just by asking because I have helped so many people they are more then happy to reciprocate. I join missions and participate wholeheartedly. I prefer to be the first guy to the field. I up at fields under attack when Im the only guy there. I attack the goon when I have to get past fighters that are sure to latch onto my six.
When I get on the radio and say "Mission up!" we get response. How many people answer your call? Oh wait you never call.
Afraid to up? Sit in a field gun all day? That speaks louder then all your words added up. Jealousy. Deny it all you want. 
Well, it sure looks like you care what I think!
How much time do I spend telling you and others what I think of you? A few minutes a month equals… lots?
My issue with you is your ego. It’s massive. It’s even bigger than Fester’s. I’ve never really said that you suck as a pilot, only that you appear to be so absolutely driven to prove to everyone how great you are. Everything about you is focused on proving how great you are. Your bragging is annoying. If the most fun that you’ve ever had playing a game is purely driven by trying to convince everyone that you are so fantastic, then that speaks volumes about your personality.
You seem incapable of saying anything without trying to one-up everyone, or brag about your virtual exploits.
And in case you haven’t noticed, I fly almost exclusively in the CT since it opened. I fly in the MA when the CT is down.
And lastly, why in the world would I be jealous of you (in R.L. or this game)? I can’t think of one thing about you that I admire. If you honestly believe that your rank is a pure indicator that you are “the greatest”, then remember whom you are talking to. Do a little research and see how I ranked in the MA before the CT opened. It sounds like you may be the one person who might actually be impressed.
I’ve ranked pretty high myself, I just never had any delusions about what it meant.
There are 3 things needed to rank well;
(Dedication/Effort Towards Rank) X (Understanding of the Rank System and trick) X (Skill)
You’ve got the first two parts maxed-out, and you have decent skills.
You will certainly outrank anyone with outstanding skill, but does not understand the rank system, or doesn’t care enough to put forth an effort.
Thinking that it’s all about skill, however, is very foolish.
