If you are a shotgun rank, the questions that people ask are quite ignorant and repetitive....
"how does the ranking system work?", "woah, he's max rank! Dude, wanna be my friend??" Sending random friend requests to me just b/c of my rank. Every single time I join a lobby I get at least one, I'm like "dude, I haven't even played with you, you don't even know if I'm really that good, why'd you send me a friend requests?" Always answered with silence....
I would almost rather be a machete then a shotgun player only because I know I can play at the shotgun level but not get so many random questions/friend requests/game invites thrown my way.
