Having hung out with you and your orglets I can testify that you are not lacking for folks to team with. Having noticed your efforts to build teams for others' benefit, I can understand your concern about losing potential teammates to "money for time." It's clear to me (and a great many folks I suspect) that you are not worried you'll have no one to team with, but that the concept of teaming will disappear.
I will say that maybe's it's for the best, then, that you don't plan to resub. Not for my benefit, or for your org's benefit, but for your peace of mind. I noticed today the new bundle they're advertising: 20K VP+1K tokens account-wide, including future toons. Unless they make 'em NODROP you will have significantly fewer folks grinding tokens and VP...I mean significantly.
The difference being, to use your analogy, is that while most folks are trying to bail waiter overboard, a few are content to sit and blow on the sail and insist that they're helping too.
