To anyone who thinks that reducing the number of team members from 10 to 6 or 5 or 4 would increase competition should take a look at BD history and what they tried on Kong. Kong was also changed a few times from 8 member to 5 member to 3 member teams and i havent been there recently but i would guess all their servers are probably solo servers now with 60-70 population (could be 10-20 too).
I don't think reducing gatherings will increase competition, I mean maybe it will, but I think competition is something that depends on the players. I have notice that in some worlds players are scared to loosing what they have so they get conform with a top 12 place in the map. Something that is understandable. Although at the end they don't win anything except maybe a medal if you are a top rank player.
Another issue that everyone talks about is how players that use to play here all the time don't any more. In my case I stopped because I couldn't give it the amount of hours I gave it everyday and staying up so late just to check on the world. Nonetheless, the past few days I have been contacting some of my old friends and I have been able to convince some to play. Hopefully that will bring some competition next era.
