    The difference is that it’s been a long time since OG Tribes. In this kind of situation, in a new game, you’ll have a sizable number of people jumping in with many years of experience. The typical ‘experienced player’ will be a lot more experienced now compared to back then.

    You see this in games all the time. I got into masters league in Starcraft 2 in its first expansion after masters became a thing. I’m a MASSIVELY better player now – seriously, it’s embarassing watching old VOD’s of me now – but it’s actually much harder for me to break into masters. This is because the skill level of experienced players in the game is now much higher 13 years after release, compared to 1 year after.
