comes
from
point

You're
a
top

player.
You
aught

know
making

useless.
Top
80%
players
don't
understand
what's
wrong
with
storages
so
they
get
a
free
pass.
There's
an
expectation
of
basic
competence
associated
with
being
a

What
you
say
tends
to
dictate
people's
opinions
of
your
actions.
Making

tends
to
move
it
towards
'throwing
the

automatically
lands
you
in

Also note having a history of throwing or ruining games may diminish the good will garnered from the latter above and still land you in 'throwing the game on purpose' territory. A noob who does the same actions as you and says the same thing will end up in the same place.
