Look, Ascendancy have even recruited idiots like CBA to prove that the model doesn't need everyone to be "OMGSUPAHL33T" or clever. The fact that everyone knows how the system works and is accustomed to it makes it easier for new people to get the hang of it I guess.

As for the BC/DC stuff - there are loads of people who don't want the position of "BC" or "DC" as it means that they have responsibility and are expected to fulfill the role on a regular basis, which they don't want to do. Without these roles, people can see defcalls, see that they have some spare time and pick them up. There's also almost certainly someoen around to pick up the DCing when they leave because there is no "shortage of DCs" as other alliances have.

As for organising teamups, surely having BCs gives members the impression that they're supposed to be the ones donig the organising, so they may not feel as ready to organise teamups themselves. It's a lot easier to start organising teamups when you see 10 different people doing it than it is when you just see 2-3 "BCs" doing the teamups.
