What are divisions and how do they work?

Hi, I'm wondering how the divisions work?

I don't know how there is a player above me who's highest rating is 665 and my current rating is 1887 when they've also played less games then me?

I play tougher games and also play more games so if it works by a trophy system how do they have 600+ trophies when I only have 200+ trophies?

The players you are paired with are random players in the same League as you, e.g. if you're in the wood league, you will be paired with ~49 other random players in the wood league. This article explains what you need to know and how to earn trophies: https://support.chess.com/article/2813-what-are-leagues-how-do-i-join-one

You're in first place in your Wood League right now, so you will advance to the Silver League in about 21 hours. 

What comes after the Legend?

whats after stone league

Legend is the last league and nothing comes after it

Divisions on Chess.com are a way to gamify chess and motivate players to play more. They can be a fun way to track your progress and compete (indirectly) with others, but they shouldn't be the only measure of your chess skill.

I don't get the purpose of division

to me it feels forced - I don't want to play with other players from a division - I want to play chess with random people - but no, you have to have a rating and a division - god forbid you play the game that you love in a website about that game ...

nothing

ACT BAD AT THE GAME TO GET WPRSE PEOPLE THEN
