This makes me want to stop playing

Ectar: Can you guys please at least look at the picture before chipping in your comments. Some of you are making yourselves look a bit silly...   At OP, the game mechanics are designed as such so that if you play on a standard account, higher tiers are intended to be profitable unless you're winning a match without dying, doing lots of damage and not missing shots.  That's why lower/mid tiers get increased credits so that you can support the high tier play.  If it was profitable for everyone to play high tiers on a normal account without losing credits, after a certain point/time barely anyone would play mid tiers (and premium account players would be raking it in).  It's tough to take but that game mechanic is never going to go away and it's been like that for quite a while.
