I'll say it now: MK8's DLC is fantastic. However, not everybody has the DLC, and so we must separate the charts on the Players' Page. What I find interesting about the separation is that the DLC charts are generally accepted as the main charts (except on combined ranks). I'm not against this at all, because otherwise players wouldn't really be rewarded for playing DLC tracks.

But this begs the question, what happens when Nintendo decides it's time to pull the plug on DLC by not offering it for download? At this time (which hopefully is far off) the only people who will be able to play DLC are the ones who already have the DLC. There will be very few new players joining the DLC ranks.

What is of concern is if someone's console breaks at this point: they can't just buy one second-hand and get the DLC back. Since DLC charts are the main rankings, that player will not be able to fully compete, and may be demotivated - perhaps not regularly playing the game anymore.

Because of this situation, it may be good to at least consider, when DLC is officially discontinued, to switch the main ranks to the non-DLC ranks. Perhaps not everyone agrees, I'm bringing this up for discussion so we're all aware of what could happen in the future. I'd like to hear others' opinions on the matter: what would you say is the best way to move forward when the DLC is discontinued?

Maybe hacks will allow the DLC to be installed after Nintendo stops offering it.
