I can understand where the uproar for having a twd roster limit comes from, but there will be pros and cons from whichever decision we make.
Face it, if we keep it the way things are it will continue to lead us to the downhill spiral of this zone. Yes, we have a couple active squads and it keeps twd alive, but at the end of the day it is the same people recycled on the same number of squads. But don't you realize we really are just facing the same people over in over again (especially in base)? The activeness does not equally represent attempting to get newer people in twd.
And isn't that what our goal should be? attempting to get newer people in twd? I can understand the plea of inactives because they have a right to be upset..and I am sure there will be something done eventually, and rightfully so.
But, we're in the middle of TWD season where people are hopping around and not really worried about settling into a TWL squad, isn't this the BEST time to experiment? Right now players scope out which squads are active and ask to join just so they can get into games whenever they come online, leading to 60 player rosters where 6 people are sitting during a 8v8 bd. Something needs to change
So even though we can all hypothesize on what can happen, we really don't know what will happen if we try it. But what can we hope to happen? Well, maybe some players will take the initiative to start a squad, and then the players who are hopping around during the offseason will join and help out temporarily. Then, since we have more squads and more players are spread around, the rest of the roster cap can go towards recruiting newer players and inactives. This is contingent on having enough squads, which we can only hope.
I know it seems like a stretch, but I've seen it happen to my own squad, that because of the small amount of squads in TWD, there are a crapload of players asking to join (that are hard to refuse) because of the fact we are active. I know we are alienating our inactives by doing this, but we need to look ahead and focus on newer, less experienced players who can potentially help our zone get active, and not depending on inactives for our zone to become active (population wise). I know I sound stupid or inconsiderate, but i still think its a risk worth taking.
