@Deborah M I sort of agree. You can't easily maintain your high ranking without replacing top notch players with other top notch players. And since any top notch player good enough to be called top notch is probably always in a fellowship you can't afford for them to leave, sit around, and wait for your call. By the time you get to that top notch player he/she is probably already snatched up. So, while I wouldn't like it if my top notch players were "poached" I do understand. I once had my top two players leave to join one of those fs's and it hurt. But then I realized that the fault was mine, not the "head-hunter." My fs had not moved/improved/set goals in over a year. In other words, no goals, little growth and a lot of just maintenance. A recipe for the "greener pastures" idea. So they moved to greener pastures and are happy there and I got on the ball and got our fs to 10 chests, (now 13) and did some weeding of our roster. For the last two years we've not lost a member to another fs.
So here's the "take-away." Keep moving your fs forward, however you measure that. Ranking is one way, goals are another, building relationships between teammates is a third. There are probably a lot of ways, but a stagnant fs is going to suffer by attrition if nothing else. That's what I learned from my "poaching" experience, anyway.
