I just realised that I am wasting my time debating this.
Gamers like games, and like being competitive at them.
If you're an artist, go paint wallpapers, see if I care. But I believe a game should encourage its players to enjoy the game, and offer decent competitive options to its playerbase, as well as means to acheive competitiveness. Especially a PvP-centered game.
