Because if you lose a match, you aren't still getting a decently high number of QP points (like everyone did last year). Instead, you are getting a big whooping ZERO points on the seeding score, but yeah, I guess you're right... you do get a nice pile of "loser points" for your troubles.

Why collaborate and get a large pile of "loser points" when you can play the game like it was intended to be played, and quite possibly get a nice shiny 2-point win!

This is all my opinion.
Feel free to disagree...
