Things are simple, the way the game is designed everyone can scale their gear to similar levels after a certain period of time.
Now combine that with every Volcanic and Quaking week, hell even Grevious and Sanguine weeks, and you have freebie weeks that gear can easily carry literally no matter what.
If you havent understood yet where i am going with this.
Someone that has 1100-1300 raider.io since lets say, February 2021, lets not say the actual timetables which are more accurate, isnt the same with someone that has 1300 raider.io in May 2021, generally.
This cant be seen in game, but it can be seen on the site, no one will bother to check also because they will get better applications either way so there is no reason to delve that deep.
I dont bother with keys higher than 15, never cared unless people just pester me to tank them, i have been at 1200-1300 for weeks before i got my KSM because i couldnt care, then they announced the Valor stuff and obviously had to unlock it and got it the same week, where i passed the 1300 mark and got it, etc etc.
I am still at the same raider.io for the last 3 months, if i try to apply at a +20, of course i am gonna get denied, and i know why, i aint fucking stupid, it doesnt matter if i can do it or not, there is nothing that can show the other player that i wont destroy the run.
The 1200 player is the same, its May 2021, if you were any decent or remotely dedicated to the game even 5%, you would have done KSM, 2-3 months ago minimum, and farming alts or just playing for fun by now.
People really need to accept the segregation this game has and their actual skill level, but they refuse to do so.
If you are behind the curve for any particular reason (IRL life matters/lack of skill) whatever it might be, its no ones obligation to deal with you, you should know your level and adapt to it, aka find similar people to play with.
