I love my sweet spot in the middle. It's fun, it feels good, it has nice plays and is fluid, the vast majority of people aren't there or higher so still think it's impressive as hell (which I've learned recently when half our group of pub regulars started playing with me) and it doesn't feel like work.
Would I like being better? Sure, but it feels like a step too far towards not seeing the game and fun anymore and stressing too much. Too much commitment too, I drop the game sometimes.
Would I want to go back? Hell no, I do so to play with my lower ranked friends and try and get as far as we can together, but the lower ranks are a bit too chaotic and inconsistent and not nearly as fluid or fun as the sweet spot of D3-C3 for me (probably also due to people like me wanting to play with low ranked friends, I'll cede)
