That's not the important part. (Destiny)

Actually, I didn't bring it up when it turned out YOU were wrong, and the level scaling was less severe, once the actual curve was posted. You seem to imply I didn't acknowledge it was a change when I specifically gave examples of how it could have been changed mathematically. That discussion was about whether or not there is more level weighting, and, as shown, there isn't really.

1. You spent three whole posts denying that there even was a change, most notably stating: "Power still matters is the phrase here. The sentence seems to be competent innocuous to me. If he wanted to say it was different, surely he would have used words that actually implied difference, or left out the part that's exactly the same." It took me posting a second source before you stopped insisting that DeeJ meant to say that nothing had changed.

2. Explain to me how my saying: "So it might even be that 33s are at even more of a disadvantage than they were not too long ago." is wrong when the facts came out as: "33s will take a little bit more extra damage from 34s - 1% instead of ~0.5%. Inverse is also true." Now I also said: "...I think this means the curve now slopes a bit more." and I was not entirely correct there, but neither was I entirely wrong. I made a guess based on the information I had. You, however, were entirely wrong on DeeJ's meaning.

I definitely wasn't. Also, remember, you were not arguing that a change happened, but arguing that a specific change happened, the point of which was that the slope increased. I never insisted it didn't change, ever, once. You're reading into it. So, while your text was technically correct in that you only explicitly stated 33s were more disadvantaged, nothing I said was incorrect, I just expressed doubt, and I still, right now, doubt that deeJ was saying anything but explaining that the curve wasn't arithmetic. The curves are functionally identical, but specifically, down to about 3 levels one gives more advantage, then the other gives more for the rest, which says to me it's less severe. That said, you were right about levels close in. I did not know that's all you were trying to say. The rest of what you said caused me to infer you were talking about the whole damage curve. It may have been a misunderstanding. I don't want to talk about that anymore. It's in another thread and it's over.

No, your opinion is perfectly fine, for you. I just don't think it is typical or representative of Destiny's player base. That is why I prompted you to acknowledge that others might have a different opinion by saying: "Now, here's the part where you admit that some people play Destiny's Crucible for fun or competition and would rather start a new, full game than press Launch and not get to play for even one second before a match ends."

Everyone plays the game differently. To ask that this point be conceded is unnecessary. So I didn't. How would you feel if I said "here's the part where you admit some people play Destiny's Crucible for fun and NOT competition." I'm not going to ask you to admit that, because you're not dumber than an actual brick and I respect your intellectual capabilities.

Asking you to have a real give and take conversation is not the same as asking you to always agree with me. I responded to you by admitting that some of the rules I proposed in my initial post might not be ideal. I responded to you by agreeing that there were times that I too would not mind when a game ended quickly. All I am asking is you show the same kind of courtesy in your postings. And yes, if you are incapable of doing so then I would like you to leave me alone. Because at that point you are no longer coming to talk, you are merely coming to state your opinions over and over while ignoring mine.

I saw you ask me a question and I answered it, plus with some fun hypothetical quotes and reasoning. This is almost the definition of give and take in a conversational sense. That said, I will leave you alone if you want, but I can categorically 100% confirm that if I have something to talk about in regards to a post you made on this forum, I will say it and have no qualms.
