10,000 players....lets say only %10 will get rating for l00t.

So 9,000 can't get, 1000 can. Yay the 1000.

Ut oh, 9,000 decided to say "fuck arena!!!" and stop playing.

Queues get longer. There isn't as many players.

1000 players...still, only %10 will get rating for loot.

Oh hey, only 100 are getting items now, 900 get shit.

Rinse repeat.

And this benefits everyone...how?

The point people are trying to make is that anytime you have "skill" graded on a curve, some people are always going to be considered "shit" even if in any other circumstance they would be considered good.
