The problem is that with any approach to figuring out a problem, you never change multiple things at the same time if you want to be sure of the results.

They increased the cutoff for T1 by 50 ranks.

They also offered a heavy defense card as a T1 reward.

Now I hadn't been playing the game for a very long time when this happened, I started with the Bee Team and performed horribly, but a card like that was new to me and I thought that most people felt that fighting for it wasn't worth it.

Maybe it was offering a card SO skewed towards defense as a T1 reward that brought on the change to the participation?
