no, it's not.
it literally has nothing to do with levels and/or difficulties and point B is literally irrelevant and is a point that people need to get out of their heads
this is a stupid complacency that FFR players have developed where people have to feel like they should be rewarded for their placement in an arbitrarily defined ever-shifting group of players
it causes logistical issues in tournament management inhibits what could be great tournament structure by:
- forcefully constraining content to arbitrarily growing difficulty that users inevitably complain about being incorrect over and over again
- ineffectively utilizing in-game content by forcing a single song per round that causes anomalous results when a song hits a weak spot (and there's literally nothing you can do about it)
- ineffectively gathers content by using previously a minimum of 56 - now, 64 songs in these subgroups
there are literally miles of points that could be made in opposition to a division system, all of which whose counterpoints are nothing stronger than "i don't want to do this because it gives me no shot at winning"
you still have no shot at winning in divisions if you're at the bottom of your subgroup. people only give a shit when it conveniently affects them because they're at the top of the curve.
