Re: ChampionSplit: A Historical Perspective

You're implying that:

1. This split alienates a portion of the community here: "Unrelated to the above point... By putting less focus on competition (which is a direction of thinking this decision indicates) you alienate a portion of the community."

2. That this is enough to have those teams quit (here: "and losing even a percentage of them") and stop doing the "inspiration and training of the community".

So I'll ask, would you rather continue inspiring and training the community or leave (as you imply by saying: "losing even a percentage of them") because you cannot have one champion/championship and can no longer be the "one true champion"?
You're reading pretty far into what I said.

I don't think you'll see many people leave. However, you will see many that are less motivated than in the past (unfortunately, this is impossible to measure).

You asked me to value one over the other. Why do I have to? Why can't the both be very important to me?
