I respect anyone who gives up a fight. I can list dozens of names who can easily beat me, but one person always stands out is Latrobe, never has an advantage or disadvantage - but always sticks around to fight.
If you have bullets or gas, there's nothing to loose, you simply can't learn if you pick/vulch/fly at 30k every time.
Honestly if it wasn't for that one fight every so now and then, I'd go back to climb/pick/vulch/run like everyone else, some how I just find that one player like Latrobe who just makes it worth the $15.
Its just a game, sometimes I wonder if score actually does matter, if it does I might as well simply quit.
