It was predictable and has happened before in other games.
Basically you have the equivalent of trying to run a national football league where everyone can write their own rules, most state competitions have a home town rule set (squad servers) and the best you can get is groups of players agreeing on using the same rules (UP etc) except there are several different groups each with a different rule set.
Problem is whilst some teams still use the old national football rules many teams LIKE their own rules and would refuse to play if a national set of rules was re-introduced. Some players prefer no rules at all and in fact believe what makes a great player is being able to make up your own rules.
