At that point it stops becoming subjective opinion, and starts becoming empirical fact.
Do you think fraps videos of how PL mechanics are effecting the game bring something not yet known by the dev team? I can make those videos and post them here, part of the player base would say "yeah so what" the other part would say "this needs to get abolished stat!"
So it comes down to the devs. Yoshi said he himself thinks PL is fine, because the higher rank player is taking his time to level the lower player.
What I wonder is did they think the system would be abused in such a way? I don't think they thought that far ahead when they made the system.

I think the best those of us that are ANTI-PL can hope for is further revisions to the claim system once ver 2.0 arrives.
