Chicken that is not a good idea, and I don't know how you or anyone else could think it is a good idea.
Haven't we already reduced the qualification requirements several times in the past already? And each time we done it the League gets less and less active...
Am I the only one seeing a pattern here?
It will still be the same players competing for the same positions, as i've already said, the inactive players will indefinitely remain inactive, because the league no longer offers them anything of interest, importance, or anything challenging anymore, lowering the qualification requirements won't solve this problem, duh...
If anything this will lower activity because less games are required, yet again making winning the title less important & respectable.
Personally speaking, and I know a few people who feel the same way, the only thing that would make me ever compete in TuS again would be a total reset of all League & Events:
The race to get ahead in the standings 1st.
The 1st huge winning streak.
The top positions in various schemes.
Getting ahead in Tournament/Challenge/Cup overall points.
Building up Trophies & Awards from scratch.
New & fresh rivalries against newly inspired players !
& many more...
If MonkeyIsland won't do a full rest, surely the next best thing would be to put up a survey on the main page of TuS, or send one to everyones PM box, asking them why they don't play anymore, or what would make them play more, get actual proper feedback from EVERYONE, not a dozen 1-track-minded old farts who've been playing longer than most of the newer generation have been alive...
