Let me just step in here real quick and throw in my 2 cents, I want to change the perspective just a little bit as to maybe/why other players and not just veterans are signing up. It&#039;s easier if I started at the beginning<br /><br />I signed up to the IDL simply so I could have my shot at taking down more well experienced players and just hopefully come out on top, infact some of the first things I said to Stall were &quot;It would be incredibly awesome if we dominate and beat the masterbowl so I could be (possibly) the first nobody to come from nowhere and win the IDL&quot;. Of course I bombed the first match on a map I don&#039;t like and was sat the whole season, but thats not important. The point is my drive to join the IDL was to pit myself against players I&#039;ve barely seen before who occasionally came into a ZD priv or ST priv and destroyed the competition, to see if I could match their skill or if by luck surpass it in some way.<br /><br />Well whats this leading to? you might ask, simple, take a look at the &#039;new blood&#039; signing up this season as opposed to other seasons. It&#039;s mainly people who have played previously and a assortment of spanish foreigners, they just want to play and have fun like a normal doomer should. Compare this to all previous seasons before, if you take a look at the rosters and free agents you will find many names that never cropped up outside of IDL, many players I know and wonder how they didn&#039;t make the cut. In short, the lack of new players coming in [u]can[/u] relate to the lack of veteran players and the challenge that these players are looking for when they sign up for IDL.<br /><br />I could be thinking too deep into this, infact I might just be an idiot, but I just wanted to express my view.
