If that's the case we will never really have anything to talk about, ever :P
Yes Kope, that is exactly what he's talking about. Macken is the perfect representation of why leaderboards and yellow text don't work. He's perfectly happy convincing himself and others that the guy he engaged and killed at 23% hp is a result of his elite PVP skills. Yellow text nor leaderboards give any context to fights, thus someone like Macken prefers it over actually having to earn an honest reputation.

When you implement a system that does not discriminate against the man that goes 12-6 K/D in a week of regular old PVP combat, and the guy that went 12-1 because he ganked at every turn and plugged 15 of his deaths away, which direction do you think every day PVP will take?

Of course someone like Macken is going to take the easy way out and then spend the entirety of his time trying to convince you that he's got mad skills, when in reality he's doing nothing but deterring actual PVP from taking place while he hides behind the visage of promoting it.

First to gank, first to plug. Those are the mottoes of most people that support YT and LB.
