I read your post and i remember part of the post about everyone getting trophies. My point was that there is still a mind set in particularly the American culture, that evetyone should be rewarded merely for particapation. My children grew up with that attitude. They played sports and at the end of the season everyone got a trophy. It literally made getting tropthies meaningless. But it also encouraged the expectation that just showing up entitled them to some reward.

I do not remember the exact context i raised this but it did have something to do with an expectation of reward or that everyone should equal firepower, or have the same advantage. I believe the discussion was clubbing (not in the lowest tiers) and how many felt the weapons and bots used by those should be nerfed to make the playing field level.

The thinking behind everyone gets a tropthy was so no child's self-esteem would be harmed. But in the end, the result is a self-centered and self-absorbed generation.

I hope that helps. I wish i could remember the post or the topic it was in.
