Its obvious that you dont understand the various game types and what they are used for. So let me explain.
Blitz is for brand new players, the level cap is 60. I might be wrong and giving it to much because they have changed it a few times.
Skirmish is for those players that are maxed out of blitz, even then anything over level 89 i believe, is blocked from entering. The Skirmish is the only "low level" Room that subs can enter. Since blitz is sub blocked.
For sub players that leaves GB, and Skirmish.
This game was out for nearly 10 years before it was put on steam. The last 2 years before the game was released on Steam, its player base was strickly high level players. 90% of new players where new accounts created by veteran players. Because to do what i have with as many high level crews cost money. Most dont want to spend. Regardless, having a new player complain about a event created just for new players is amazing.
Blitz and skirmish are only boosted right now, because the game was released on Steam. Period. Generally the boosts only ever apply to GB, GB2, Nightbattle, and WW. All of which have no level cap.
Blitz wont start because the current player base doesnt want to play blitz or doesnt have blitz crews. Skirmish wont start because at 10CST when only 16 BB fill rooms, 5 of those are skirmish level bbs.
Your statement to saying there are plenty of medium and low level players. Then explain why they are not starting Skirmishes?
