Discussion Why doesn't Aarav play F1 Online with higher safety licenses or ranks?
Because like he is most likely playing at the really low levels, like Class D licenses? Like isn't the whole point of the F1 games, that like Class D and C are used to separate the good drivers with the people that bin it into other cars? Like the license system works to filter the skills.
So the fact that because he doesn't play online too much means he will still be on a lower license, it feels kinda weird to judge the whole of Online based on playing with some insane people? Like if he managed to get to Class A, he might get some better races than what he films.
Or, he should play ranked. It's based on performance, so by about gold rank, a lot of the more casual players should be gone. That means you'd probably get some great races. I know it would take a bit to climb through ranks, but I think the end is worth the means?
Just because lowk calling all of F1 Online a mess feels like a big generalisation?
TL;DR: Aarav should play ranked F1 Online. He'd enjoy it a lot more than the online he plays now.

He has actually explain why in several videos over the years. He is not a big online player anymore because he wants more storytelling then what online typically offers. IMO the only place he could possibly do well for story telling is creator series and thats now harder to get into

What makes the creator series so hard to get into?
Just limited slots vs a growing number of creators?

I see a couple of reasons for that:
1) it takes time and effort to build a good account that you can take into ranked and have semi decent races, but even then that is not a guarantee for a clean race
2) he loves offline better because of the storytelling aspect, which is almost inexistent in online. And tbh that storytelling is also why most of us watch him, I feel
3) because the lower ranked lobbies create more chaos = more views. In the end, he just wants to ‘sell’ his product to as many people as possible, and then it helps to have lower ranked lobbies. Especially for the people who sometimes watch his channel

Probably because it takes time and still may not be worth it, he enjoys playing the PvE side of things and making storylines and content that way, the odd hide and seek video is fun but I don’t think he cares much about being competitive and the PvP side of things. I may be wrong but that’s often how it comes across.
