For sure, I'm certain that most World Champs wouldn't trade their banner in this situation. However, one of the reasons I posted this is that I had a discussion with a member of a past World Champion who said they felt their Championship "didn't count" because they weren't the Alliance Captain or first pick. It was a perspective I didn't expect to hear from someone who had a gold medal to show from the situation.
