Someone has to succeed in order to "keep the dream alive" and who else better to do that than the über players?
Whether they're chosen or they just win because investing so much money in the best gear and having more skills than 99% of the population it doesn't matter. Someone needs to win in order to keep us playing.
If people like smilgs, stryker, and star couldn't turn out a decent profit, I would sell out, and many others would too. It's bad for the game if you don't have at least some people beating the system odds and being able to make regular withdrawals.
Not uber players.
There is a shitload of uber players that had same or better gear than "chosens" that won over and over again.
You cant see it because for you, top gear and skill players are just "ubers", but ubers with exactly same skill and gear can get very big difference of returns with "chosens" no matter what they do.
Add to that that some of the "chosens" have or had relationship with people in Mindark Staff and you have all the rights to be more than suspicious
