Merging Leagues?

Any thought to merging some leagues that aren't spinning? Take for example merging CUST-10 & CUST-12. Dissolve the 2 leagues and create a new league with those rosters and owners. I know its not perfect but it will create one near full league. Interesting dynamic will be added as well because strong teams from one league may not be as strong anymore once merged with players and owners from another league. The only problem I can see is that there may be an owner with a team in each league (that is true for these 2 leagues). Maybe that owner could pick the team they like better and dissolve the other.

custom 10 = https://cust10.myfootballnow.com/
it has 16 owners in it

custom 12 = https://cust12.myfootballnow.com/
it has 13 owners in it

only Ukrain and Punisher have a team in both

so you can say you would have 27 people if you combined both leagues

with that being said i realize i will be in the minority when i say this yet i dont think leagues should merge because i always feel every game i play either be on facebook or another site is that it is bad for the game to merge leagues or merge servers.

my reasoning is i would think 2 reasons for that

1.) it may be a bad thing to do that because then you might kill the game faster especially if somehow you get a rush of people who join this game or come back because that would mean there would be 1 fewer league for them to just jump in and start playing without doing a allocation draft.

2.) i think when a game merges leagues or servers it gives the more experienced players a advantage.
like lets say someone has been playing on 1 server and they have built up a great army like million strong now if you merge 2 servers and people dont have the army as that person does then they become a FARM where that person can just clear them out of stuff and sooner or later that person is just going to give up and go play something else.
in other words you may have someone dominating everyone else though it is a BIG IF to the point they may force those people to leave.
unfornately it is because we live in a microwave society people want it NOW and want to have success NOW
so i would think if people werent winning NOW or having success NOW they will just give up that much easier or faster then maybe you would have more people leaving now than you would have on this site.
it is like if a league was merged with MFN 24 how many people would actually want to play lellow who has 128 straight games at one time and who just won 9th straight title
sure you might have few people who might yet i would think the majority would leave especially if someone was dominating like that in a where 2 leagues were merged.

RE: Lellow and his 9th straight title. There's a reason his team got beat this season and why you see he only scored was it 24 points in the title game?

I think the playing field is getting leveled off with all these changes going on and honestly I don't like it.
