3rd party leagues provide infinitely more depth than dropping on the same 3 maps vs randoms because most of the people with skill seem to try to avoid fighting eachother. This is the worst made mechwarrior game to date. A solid player made league would actually make it much more interesting. MW4 lived for ten+ years all due to player made leagues.
I really don't think either of you is all right or all wrong. It's really just player preference. CAN leagues add depth? Sure. Do they inherently add depth? I would argue no. Many of the league games I've played in are nothing more than one charging deathball fighting another deathball. Not that much depth. Other games have been far more interesting. Watching a league board change is really no different than watching the CW map change.
League players are no more meaningful to the MWO community than strict casuals, and I say that as a league player.
To each their own. I will never understand why people need to constantly bash the way other people choose to play this game...
