Of course you know all of the players, you&#039;ve been playing in this community for almost a year now. There are still plenty of &quot;big names&quot; this season including Bones, Tai, Prime, LordBritish, TurSKA etc. These new guys are joining with your same sense of what you wanted to do last year when you joined - to compete against better players. They don&#039;t necessarily know every player and want their shot to take down the &quot;big boys&quot;. The only difference is that the &quot;big boys&quot; change (as they have throughout IDL&#039;s 12-season history) and that those players are now the Shane of a year ago. Now it is your turn to step it up and hopefully become the vet that people want to take down.<br /><br />It is possible my post was in response to incorrectly understanding your point though. If instead your point was that new people don&#039;t join because of the lack of big name veteran players, then they are probably misinformed because there are plenty of vets (many of them well above &quot;average&quot;) coming back this season. Besides, most of them didn&#039;t even get a chance to play before anyway.
