What lvl you are doesnt determine the equality, its the way you behave, so stop moaning about the lvls, there are plenty of US players around the same lvl as you, plus if they laugh they are just stupid.

Think about this, what about the PS2 players? They get it later and by then what lvls will we be in? Do they complain about that? not that i know of, remember lvl is very minor, its the people you meet and play with that matters.
