I have been a member of the competitive battling community for some time now. I've been playing since late Gen 3, and have followed the metagame for a while, but I think it's time to say goodbye.
It all comes down to the community. To put it frankly, the community is incredibly shitty. Every other game I play in (usually in the high 1600/low 1700s) I get an opponent that jeers, insults, and is no less than a gigantic prick. The 1/10 matches that I play in where I get a decent human being aren't enough to make me want to keep playing.
So, I bid you all on the forums a fond farewell, and those in-game a less than fond farewell.
