DA is really, really good. Anyone who denies it is simply lying to get a rise. I guarantee that if DA said he was quitting everyone would be really sad to lose a great player (whether they publicly admit it or not)
Every player in the bracket deserves to be respected for different reasons... Sidni may not have been the best lock but she had 100k hks twice before anyone else had it once. Minitonka may not be the most knowing twink but he is one of the nicest and coolest cats I've talked with. Etc the list goes on to every player I've met in the bracket.
Aside from specifics, it is absolutely insane to believe that anyone would actually have the guts and respect players for the most important reason. I can only name a few people who understand the most important reason. As a result they do not gain respect because people see them as weak.
The reason I'm referring to is that we should all respect everyone because we are a dying breed and we rely on each other to make games happen. "The huntress is nothing without the hunt" comes to mind. This requires a much higher development of thinking which is rare to see in our bracket.
It requires someone putting their personal ego driving needs aside and focusing on making 19s enjoyable for others. This is why you see people who love one class play other classes to help out the team. The only class I truly want to play at 19 is rogue however I pretty much quit playing rogue at the end of wotlk and made a bunch of healers.
I'm not saying people should respect me and I'm not saying I'm doing anything "right", but I am saying that the community should evolve further and truly care for our opponents and realize that we need to respect each other.
Let other's needs before our own. That's when things start to become great.
