Pretty sure it wasn't meant in a hostile manner, but DO understand that PvP in this game has gradually moved further and further away from direct player vs player competition. It was the foundation of what was wrong with Shatter when you could play passively, do nothing but hit the ice, and win. Slaughter (Team Deathmatch) was removed with no explanation after being left dead at 50 all through HW, and even direct player combat means little in Rival Wings.

Your idea isn't bad, to be fair. But it wouldn't really solve the problems we have currently. Still, I'm sure it wasn't meant in hostility, and shouldn't be taken as such.
