At your rating, I doubt that you understand the skill set or lack thereof of players at your rating level +/- 200.
Blitz play is way too strong at 600 to 800.

My rapid is above 1200 I understand very well the concepts I described above, 3 min games are simply to fast for me. 1200 eilo and above is full of legend tier who have played 20,000, 30,000, even 50,000 games here and not above 1200 rapid, let me guess they also don't understand hung peices, discovered checks that lead too taking someones queen or brilliant checkmates that with the lose of two rooks leads to checkmate...

For instance you have nearly 90,000 games here and are obviously skilled, but you still lose nearly half your games, do they all feel normal? Again I'm a lowly 1200 rapid, so I don't understand even how the pieces move, so please speak slowly and use big words. God I hate people who act like there above someone, because they happen too play 90,000 games practice then tell you that you have a negative 200 eilo, because they can't read...
It is true that I might be suspicious if a 1200 rapid player could handle pins effectively.
I’ve seen 1500s without a clue, and 800s that seem to have solid fundamentals. There is no formula for what players at certain ratings know or do not know. That was my point.
Sorry if my snark was too offensive.

1200 rapid isn't as weak here as you think i have had plenty of near perfect games were i played numerous great moves, I tend to fall apart due to time. I get into time trouble and crumble. Most of the time im up 3 points, but then my opponent just moves literally half seconds moves with perfect perception. Look at my last game. The time killed me, I made a terrible blunder. Notice how my opposite though got faster and faster until that happened. They should be moving slower in more complicated moves..
No offense, but all your eilo for each, blitz, rapid, and bullet are below 300 eilo. I could beat you in my sleep..No offense, but I have studied the game.

1200 is well above average on this site and the top of the beginner’s class. Some players are solid, but slow. Most lack fundamentals.
You can improve and you can’t just expect to be good immediately
Playing 90,000 games and being stuck at 1600 seems like the left side of the bell curve if you ask me. I've seen players who have 2100 elo and only like 15k games.. So maybe show a little humility to players who haven't been on the site as long as you.. I am a lowly player as well, but I will say that blitz players are actually way stronger than rapid, even if you analyzed as if the time controls were the same, they are playing much stronger. I'm not sure if this is because there are more players in blitz, or more people smurfing, I couldn't tell you but it is much harder to get a high elo in blitz in the 600 - 800 range.
Similar observation to me: If I play normal openings I am about 1100, but I only play to relax and to to get interesting positions with tactical opportunities-I play dubious openings to experiment. My rating fluctuates from 900 to 1100 as a consequence and I must say I find it a real grind to climb back to my 1100 rating- I have more difficulties against 900-1000 players in a tactical fight than against 1100-1200 players which does seem rather strange. Fortunately I am that not concerned about my rating so its not an issue but it is interesting.

Who are you talking to? Just shouting in a time machine, hoping that the guy will hear you 18 months ago?
I think I'm done with chess. I tried doing some blitz and got destroyed. The players at this elo are doing pins, double pins with discoveries and countering perfectly. This isn't the skill set of a 600 to 800 eilo blitz player. Their playing at a much higher level. What is this? I just need to quit altogether if this is my best its been fun guys thanks.
