"Official servers are the only thing that matters in the end. That is where the real competition comes from with any game."
Since when? You going to tell me that the average player on Baja was more skilled than the average player on say IPY? That the average player in CS:GO matchmaking is more competitive than the average player on ESEA? That the average player in any of those survival games are more skilled than the players who run "Hardcore PvP" variation servers? 90% of the people on the official H1Z1 servers are pathetic at FPS. Which I assume makes you feel good because you can easily kill the majority of people.
Official servers for FPS didn't even exist until console fps became a thing. You found a clan server where everyone was a beast, and you played on it. Those servers still exist.
If you used the argument that "official servers have some sheep for the wolves to prey on" I would have bought it. If you were looking for scrubs to grief, but to say that a server run by the top 10% of a community isn't real competition seems quite delusional.
Oh and about ARK leveling...the levels don't change what you can equip, how you shoot, how hard you shoot, what armor you can wear...a level 1 can kill a level 60.
