Zero interest in normal Pro in almost every ad in there now and for a long time now. Elitism wasnt just a team owner persona, it was the agents supplying players. No WL and FAR more teams are on an even ground to recruit and stay active in the forums since it was so spread.
The World League unquestionably saved GLB. It gave the elite the opportunity to compete against each other regularly instead of only a couple of times per season, it gave the non-elite something to strive for, and it gave the non-elite a chance to play other people at their level instead of having their brains beat in by teams out of their league. And as for recruiting, that's a problem with you, not the WL. When I was in CPL I was able to get commitments from guys who had WL offers.
