Oh, you don’t like having the feeling to be looked down? So why are you doing it to others?
Sure your opinion matters, but it doesn’t matter more than the opinion of the people you are making fun of.
Your bracket will be difficult to some players. And compared to bracket 1, yes, it will just be vacations. We all have different experiences of the game. All the opinions are valids.
Some people like to have some challenge. Others just want a casual game. What matters is to have fun.
People who are not looking for the same things than you in the game don’t have less legitimacy.
You can say you disagree without making fun or despising people.
