Are we doomed to have to make F2Ps forever or with all the changes in SL do yall think we are gonna be able to play a XP off bracket? If so which bracket?
 
That would be the dream. 49s seem fun, but 19s more realistic with the smaller amount of effort needed to be put into the toon to get to that level. Making them more active in the long run probs. 50s queues are merged between XPoff and on?
 
Can't speak for US but EU 19s have mostly switched to 20.

People will always prefer plug and play, which is what vet / f2p offers. Since you are merged with levellers, you are also promoting the bracket each time you run into a leveller. Those are just 2 major factors.

-Plug and play.
-Passive promotion through simply playing.

No need for extra effort.

XPOFF brackets are stuck with the same, fed up people that don't really give a shit at this point (they haven't for a loooooong while tbh). That, and the fact that the brackets have had no passive promotion for a long time.

Since the XPOFF brackets are no longer plug and play, and they don't get any free promotion, it requires a lot of teamwork to get going, and the workload is usually shouldered by such few individuals at a time that the foundation becomes too fragile and the queues inevitably start to crumble.

Now, there are literally tons of more problems, ESPECIALLY for the 19 bracket, but that's the short version at least.

The 19 bracket's core members are also primarily made up of people with a highly competitive mindset, making it an "acquired" taste at best for the regular pleb out there.

I'm generally competitively minded myself, so I get the drive that these people have, but people do not have realistic expectations. People want competition INSTANTLY, which is just not plausible due to the current state of the bracket. It needs to be rebuilt first.

Now tell that to the typical ADHD, 3 second attention span, millennial that makes up the majority of the player base. Tell them they have to pick between all that effort or simply level 1 more level and get plug and play. The answer is easy. No one wants to bother with it or have the attention.

Now to shatter the hearts of nostalgic 19s.
Logically speaking, there's also no reason to stay 19 anymore, other than latching on to a nostalgic number, because that's literally all it is now. The major difference between 19 and 20 for a long while was the use of mounts. That's no longer valid. 19 has mounts now. That 1 level just doesn't make up that same margin anymore that made the brackets so indisputably different.
