You say it can be inferred that a player with 150 games of TTR under their belt is probably playing for the first time but want to say I'm the one making the rude statement? How does that make any sense? If you do not disagree that players should follow the rules, then what is your issue with me telling them this?

The original question in this topic is valid and must be correctly answered, which it has been. However, it was also out of line, jumping straight into absurd insinuations that make it clear the original poster didn’t think nearly enough or nearly as well about their question before posting it in a highly criticizable manner.

I support the way @Ceaseless replied. He was as polite and well-mannered as the question merited.

hmmmm... what? You don't believe in respect? Interesting response especially, "He was as polite and well-mannered as the question merited." Maybe the user was trying to determine if they should become a premium player? No harm, no foul. No merit for disrespect, sarcasm, nor rudeness.

Are you implying the OP could be exploring if there's a way to use premium to gain an unfair advantage over regular users?

OMG No! Why are your thoughts so negative? I’m simply saying maybe the OP was simply inquiring about whether there were perks given to paying players (in a good way) and if so maybe they were also deciding if they wanted to become a paid player (in a positive, polite manner). Gawd, I cannot wrap my head around the rudeness and the negativity that this one possibly innocent question garnered from you two and I don’t want to.

How does that make any sense? If you do not disagree that players should follow the rules, then what is your issue with me telling them this? - I never said anything about the “ player with 150 games of TTR under their belt is probably playing for the first time…” Again, you have twisted words. I don’t understand unless there’s a medical reason your brain does this. If so, I’m truly sorry that your brain does not function normally. Please do not twist these words. I’m being very sincere.

Why are you so upset over questions and being so rude? Why would someone think BGA rigging the system for premium players to gain rating for an outcome a regular player would not get rating for be a good thing? I would think the OP would be opposed to such an underhanded system, but you seem to disagree and think they'd consider it a positive? - Please tell me what exact words the OP used that meant BGA is rigging the system? You won’t be able to because they are not there.
