I am against bringing leagues back.

As of writing this the vote is 80% (stake weighted) against.
It is also 59% against in individual votes (389 against and 271 for)

There is a massive disconnect between the most vocal about this issue and their collective skin in the game regarding staked SPS.

That is a big reason I am against bringing leagues back.

**Leagues did not attract players who believe in the entire concept of this ecosystem, it just attracted people who wanted to min/max the entire system. **

The top 20 votes have a collective 87,000,000 SPS staked.

All of the bronze and silver players should collectively have at least as much staked, but they don't, because in the bronze and silver culture being a part of the process and the entire part of the ecosystem was not deemed as beneficial from a min/max perspective.

If 5,000 Bronze and Silver players bought $100 worth of SPS (20,000 SPS) and staked it today, they would have 100,000,000 SPS staked for voting and could make waves with and conversation regarding DAO decisions.

The response to this post from those players will be predictable:
"It won't make a difference"
"The whales will always have more voting power"
"There is no point"

And that is my point, if you are not willing to sacrifice the optimal min/max for the short term, to contribute and be a part of the long-term process, then don't be surprised when the game evolves in a way that makes complaining and crying not optimal from a min/max perspective either.
