We can not hope to compare a player whose opponents generally don't even roll a dice (that would be you) with a player who more actively strategizes against an active counterpart.
It is a silly position to take on your part and perhaps goes further to illustrate that you are not used to facing real opposition as your preferred field of contest.
I have no problems with admitting that the games I play are generally against deadbeats and I take pride in my ability to find those game. However, your ability to strategize in the games you play clearly isnt effective enough or you would have passed me on the scoreboard. I created my own strategy for finding games with deadbeat as and as a result I had a 150 game winning streak. The point system is setup to counter the efforts of farmers like me to raise their score through playing noobs, since I win 4 points a game when I win, and lose 95 every time I lose, while one win for you earns you over 100 points. I seriously doubt that you would be a successful farmer and I would be interested to see how many points you would win after joining 50 noob games.
While you may consider the games you play to be elitist and therefore justify your score, why dont you prove me wrong and win when you are actually risking your points playing playing public games where you lose 50 points a lose and only win 60 for a win. Dont bother making an excuse for why you wont because I dont care and the games you chose to play are none of my business as I stated before. However, by only playing people of your rank you are virtually farming; you found a niche which you are good at and instead of challenging yourself, you are taking advantage of your area of expertise and harvesting points.
The only difference is that I am a member of The Farmers Guild because I admit that I am a farmer.
