@Brandon Wright reading your post, you are so like minded like me, I don't see the problem with using the following:
a) Legal Mods
b) Good Quality Mods
c) Mods that only appear on RD
I think the C) option is key here, as there is loads of "Mod Police" around to rule out the counterfeit's mods, and sorry but I include the "payware" mods in this section. I know they are not counterfeits, but mods should be free for the whole community to use and enjoy as they see fit, just my opinion.
RD have a massive opportunity to really take this to town, to really give leagues that people want, so why so slow on the uptake?
As they say, strike while the iron is hot, and mods on AC ( I can only comment on AC) some mods are hot, very hot at the moment, and there is some many variations, it could fill up a whole calendar year trying to incorporate them all.
Lack of staff, lack of organisers, lack of volunteers, lack of confidence, who knows?
