No doubt Nihilum in its prime had more PvP and likely more PvE experience than most of Holo at this point. Yet, Holo is fostering the upbringing of blue converts and new players alike. They treat people like members of the inner circle from day one and are committed to enabling people to be effective PvPers and PvEers. This notion is lost on Azrael and is probably the single biggest reason why Azrael will always be an "underdog" at best.
