Why are scores so important to everyone?

[FOZ_1983]

I play sim, why do i play sim?

for enjoyment and a challenge. Leaderboards and wins etc dont really bother me to much. Sure i like to win!! but who doesnt?

the only thing i would like (other than the enjoyment and challenge) is for my kills to be higher than my deaths. If i get just 1 kill and no deaths... then as far as im concerned thats a great game. I killed one of them and helped the team while not being shot down myself and helping the enemy.

I can understand peoples attraction with leaderoards etc and more so your anger at certain planes being screwed up

i was fortunate that they made my beloved hurricane one of the easiest to unlock and a joy to fly

more so when i have a wingman flying one to who knows how i work.
