Seriously, it is a matter of fast connection, the BC/EC to spend, and time to waste. Since day 1 is infinite play, thanks to bosses returning BC/EC investment, day 1 is all about time and a connection.

You got to remember, bosses ramp up with your points. You stop hitting those 15 point reward bosses after a while, no more 350 bosses eventually, and at a certain point you are basically sitting on the highest released boss. Day 1 that would be the L7 of the second boss, this week is slug-whatever. T1 players will hit that wall within the first hour or so, and for the next 16 hours they are constantly pulling that 5k+ points a boss (I forget what the MVP bonus is offhand).

So, you take that 5k+ per boss and then you add the minor difference between you and a T1 player. Things like skipping boss fights (how fast you can hit the skip button), do you engage in PvP ambushes/combat caches, how fast you destroy ramjet/swoop's missiles, how fast you click through boss reward window, minor differences in connection speeds, how often do you pull gold medals, real life breaks (hug kids, eat food, calm the annoyed wife)... it adds up.
