Trophies in the profile

#23
what?! People don't want increase his ratings?!?!
Ehyyy....to reach 2000+ is not for all!!
A lot of people plays chess for years and years and remain under 2000 because CAN'T reach a FM rating....

Is not so automatic...."i play for years...i become 2300"....

no........

Look the rating statistics of the site...2000+ are only the 10% of the players...and 2300+ are only 2-3%!
In lichess have trophies only 2300+ players....

Like now, in lichess, over 97% of the players are totally CUTTED OUT from the possibility to have a trophy (and the satisfaction to show his tournaments won on the profile)
Those who only play chess for getting trophies, and not for fun or to improve their skill, those will never improve, I think at least this is sure.

@ScaccoLento I agree that not everyone can become 2300+, but 2000+, especially on the internet is possible, with a regular practice AND lessons/books.
To add something else, I would say to all people who say "Marathon trophies are only for 'world champions' ", look in the last marathon, ranks 75 and 77: fr.lichess.org/tournament/spring17
They were behind 2000 and they make a success of their life, they got a trophy ;) Marathon is not only about skill, but more about perseverance.
People have families..childrens...and works....is impossible for 90% of the players to be hours and hours playing chess for a marathon
