The dev try to accomodate all play styles but to be predator, you need to step up your playstyle.
One reason is RP cost will drag their progress:
Bronze (cost 0) : Hotdrop (max 5 RP), Camping (max 7 RP).
Silver (cost 1) : Hotdrop (max 4 RP) , Camping (max 6 RP).
Gold (cost 2) : Hotdrop (max 3 RP) , Camping (max 5 RP ).
Platinum (cost 3) : Hotdrop (max 2 RP), Camping (max 4 RP).
Diamond (cost 4) : Hotdrop (max 1 RP), Camping (max 3 RP).
Another reason is camping is getting harder and harder on higher level.
1. Bronze : Most players are noobs, I can easily hide to top 3.
2. Silver : Most players are so so, I can easily hide to top 5 or 3.
3. Gold :Camping getting harder since you can't get spot at all or you risk to die early. They start to struggle to get top 3, but still can get top 5.
If they get top 5 (4RP but cost 2RP), they will get 2RP. It start getting become grinding considering huge amount of time needed 10-15 min to get only 2RP.
4. Platinum: Camping style really struggle here since most hiding spot already identified by top player and once spotted, directly die. They will struggle to top-5.
When you have to pay 4RP to get maximum 4RP(top-5), you get NOTHING, then you start questioning yourself what I'm doing here, doing nothing for 15 minutes??
5. Diamond : Only stubborn "mole" left.
6. Predator : Calculate and aggressive style only.
Moral of the story, you can choose your playstyle that suit your personality in the beginning level since each style will get RP, some faster than other,
but eventually you will have to adapt your style to next level since it takes RP to join higher level (unless you're #5)
1. Bronze : All play styles.
2. Silver : All play styles.
3. Gold : Hot drop start to struggle, camping still ok but getting harder since you can't get spot at all or you die immediately.
4. Platinum: Hot drop style can only get 2 point max, camping style really struggle here since most hiding spot already identified.
5. Diamond : No more hot drop, and very few camping style, only left calculated and agressive style.
6. Predator : Calculate and aggressive style only.
As you can see, Hot drop and camping style will naturally phase-out in higher level.

The problem I foresee is when higher level guy run out RP to play on that level, they have to farm RP on lower level or bronze (worst case), then they will reck the experience of the noobs.
Gold (need 2RP). They originally have 280 RP, then they play so bad, until run out to 0RP. Then they have to farm on bronze.

A possible solution would be to have it so players can only earn RP by playing on the next rank down from the one they're in? As you can't be demoted I don't see how this could harm things, whereas the bottom of the top tier needing to earn RP by farming it in lower tiers would just ruin the experience of the guys still learning.

@EA_Blueberry @EA_David - Sorry for off-topic but any news on the changes to Pathfinder which were mentioned before? It was said that there'd be more revealed in the lead-up to the S2 launch.

Obviously if you do not have enough rp to play in that tier because you lost to many times you do not deserve to be in that tier
