Sup, Mass! And yeah, I see that more and more myself as time passes playing this game (but I'm not at your skill level yet, thanks goodness). Which just means why play with even more OP setups if game is easy as is? And why play with only good pugs? Why not play with crappier setup and try to get all the so-so to pretty lousy pugs to extract if the game is so easy? Very unpredictable these crazy kid pugs can be, lol? So why not? Why not look for more challenge as it fades away? Why, oh why? I mean, this handicapping business is a very normal thing gamers do when they love a game so much yet want to keep at it. In case you didn't know. Otherwise fun factor and replay take a nosedive. Very simple concept. And very true. Some games even have to adjust between players so that little Jimmy can stand a much better chance against big brother Jimmy. ... Sigh. It's just that in todays world where most gamers start all games on the easiest settings, and still give up (lol), this a heck of a lot less common.
And part of the reason of saying this is in hope that others get more enjoyment out of this game too. The other part is in hopes that I see less really skilled players with insane OP setups. 
Was just leveling up the inf class again, and man, even with the freaking Avenger the Ghost is OP enough, lol. Just sicken me more seeing them all almost always paired with a Harrier. And a heck of a lot of Ghost players too. At least some variety in player matchups would be nice? Or at least a Ghost with a Saber or Argus playing it with some degree of skill and going for nice clean headshots instead of just mindless spray and pray and a good ol' puff of them stimpaks playing so silly, lol. .... Also, that freaking Avenger really is a very awesome feeling gun. Man, I'm going use it way more often now.
