While your argument is somewhat valid, it's dumb. If He plays other games 12 hours, You don't go into "ifs" and "instead", because it's going into pretending to be retarded meme. It's plain simple there are people that can and cannot. Instead of ifing, try to find a solution.
There must be someway where stats aren't everything and there must be some skill involved, too.
This is not about fucking Ozzy, and the ifs don't fucking apply to him personally. They are about the general playerbase. Because if it's not clear enough for everyone in this game if the top faction doesn't have competition everyone else ends up getting rolled hard. It's just a matter of the top dogs setting their now bored sights on you.
The solution has been fucking suggested and agreed by everyone but AD and Jorb and Loftar because even when they make a poop they think wow what a nice poop we made how come nobody loves our poop, they must be haters and they can't see how our poop has an essential function in keeping no lifers busy.
As for stats not being everything and skill being involved. Look you can't have balance in this game when the devs refuse to sanely address the two top issues. Bots and alts. If you make stats matter then you make botted titans with botted quests botted food botted eating (to maximize satiation and threshold hunger eating). If you make stats matter less then you open up alts. Even if we had a perfectly balanced system the whole concept of open pvp where given similar levels of character development and skill the guys with more people online in a certain spot will win the conflict and that is even ignoring random ganks of people who were just trying to take a fish to a tree. When the result of a won conflict means pretty much that losers characters are out of the game you get haven. Balance that shit.
