Honestly, the idea of disbanding teams doesn't address the underlying issue.

The team structure aggravates it, yes, but not being organized into teams won't change what happens when someone isn't around. No offense to [@Kaithas], but there are tons of times that he isn't around. We wait for him if we can, and it's practical, but that doesn't stop anyone else from doing whatever they want.

If someone's inactive and shows no signs of being around, break off the interaction. Jump ahead a little and cover the before stuff if they [i]do[/i] get back. There's nothing that means you have to stick with a dead interaction, nor is there any obligation to stick purely within your own team. Luke and Gratia are together all the time, more than either one interacts with their own team, and [@Crimmy] and [@HereComesTheSnow] have never been on the same team.

On top of not solving the issue... It kinda kills a big piece of what makes RWBY unique. I know that I wouldn't have half as much fun if BASL weren't BASL.

The underlying issue isn't the teams, it's people not interacting outside of them. Or people failing to break away from interactions that aren't going to actually happen.
