If all you're going by here is the logs, then you have a skewed view of things. I've been playing for some time now, and while I'm no super-killer, I know what I'm doing.. I know the tactics of the classes, I know how to maximize my fighting ability against any given class/race/cabal combination, and I've at least held my own against the so-called elites.
What I think you're dealing with here is Vietnam War Syndrome.. war was always horrible, but it wasn't until live TV reporting brought the horror of it all home to US Living Rooms... things have been this way for a long time (ie, there are clueless people out there trying to pk and making horrible mistakes), however, the phenomenon of *everyone* posting logs is still something relatively new. I seem to remember at least when only really good players would post cool logs. As far as my personal experience on the ground, in the thick of things, players are as good on average as ever. If your theory is right, I should be slaughtering my entire range, because they all suck so badly.. but I'm not. Sure, every now and then I run into someone who I can tell sucks, but they're no more common than they were three years ago. *shrug*
