If you voted yes, no, or kinda, comment below why or why not it is or is not "earning". After seeing so much controversy on this subject I want to see what some people have to say, you are all entitled to your opinions so have at it Guardians!!!

It has nothing to do with earning. Many on-line games find many players in the exact same spot in the game, be it level, gear, trophies, etc. Some gamers have such fragile egos that wrap up so much of their IRL self worth into a video game they desperately seek alternate takes on reality that makes them somehow "better" than someone else in the exact same spot.... in their minds. They make up cute names for stuff, twist and rationalize in really contorted ways all in a desperate grab for a little ego self-stroking. While it is all rather transparent, it is no longer amusing.
