I entirely disagree. I guarantee your groups are being carried by the youth. All of the best players I know, attentiveness or otherwise, are younger than I am. Across every single game I've played. That's just the way of the world, my dude. Everquest is a unique exception where game KNOWLEDGE provides a degree of functionality in a group or raid setting. But beyond that, we lose in reaction time and attentiveness, on average.
But yes, I do think there are difference between the older generations and the younger. Older gamers are far more casual, and every younger gamer wants to be Shroud.

I'm not sure what you disagree with me about. It seems we agree on the only point I was trying to make: that there are generation differences between how people think about and play games --- especially complex social games, like EQ. And that those generational differences create different patterns of emergent gameplay on p99 compared to live.
I never meant to say that younger players aren't as good as older players (or vice versa). It is probably objectively true that younger players, all other things being equal (including game knowledge) are better than older players as you said just due to physical differences...but I wasn't trying to argue for/against that in my post.
