You will just have the same experiences over and over.
I don't agree with a lot of this. Sometimes, unfortunately, evaluators don't know what they are talking about. I think you will always have something you could do better the next game. When I have the perfect game I'm going to quit and I don't think I'm going to be quitting any time soon. I also don't think striving to improve relates to gaining experience. Maybe I'm not understanding what you are trying to say. Can you explain further?
