I'm not comparing a good rogue to a bad player. No matter what level you're playing at, you will always see wildly different levels of skill. The point is that the majority of players are not raiding mythic, so if you ask someone who is 3/7 heroic whether he cares about whether he beats his friend in the same guild then you'll either get a yes or a no depending on the type of guild and the type of player, but the key is that you can get a yes. Being competitive does not mean you have to be #1 in world of logs, it can mean being your rival on your realm group or reaching a world rank of 15,000 this tier. It might sound silly if you're a mythic raider but that style of competition exists for a lot of people. Less skilled players do like to be competitive too, and it can really matter to them.

I'm absolutely dire at Halo but I still like to try and win, y'know?

I don't think you are understanding what I am trying to convey. The point of a person, a Rogue feeling his class is ok because he is a better player then the people he is playing is silly. Say a Rogue running at the top of his game hitting ranks each week getting out matched by a person playing say a mage that never ranks and constantly fails at his class and mechanics. The point here is you constantly see more bad players at the lower difficulty, this is where I am saying what difference does it make if you did 30k in a lfr group where the boss dies in 1min vs the suv hunter 20ilvl under half afk new to his class. The real facts is competition exists on different lvls of play, but being ok because your nfl team beat your highschool team isnt good. There is a balance problem in terms of how rogues work in raids in dmg and ways of having to carry different sets of gear. Other classes change talents around, rogues change specs and still preform at a lower lvl in terms of dmg. Why bring a rogue to a raid when you can bring one of these other classes? The only reason you would in a setting where it doesn't matter. So on some lvl things matter and they don't Obviously to lower skilled players nothing matters, and im not talking about those players.

You over exaggerate dude. If a mage sucks and the rogue plays perfect the rogue will top the mage at any time. Sure rogues arent the best DPS in the game right now, but many ppl really over exaggerate. They are OK they aren't top they aren't bottom either. I dont know whats wrong with that, and like it seems we will receive buffs until its fine anyways.
