Should we destroy the best(as in most members(over 250k), and over 10k users active every day) community in D3? Why do you want this to happen?
I've played PTR and I don't see anything special with torment 6 normal rift. The Greater Rifts however are very fun and quite challenging to complete as you get higher in tiers.
So why not a compromise? Keep the 5 rift stone to open up a normal rift and 'pay as you go' with the Greater Rifts, that way you don't destroy such a brilliant, manner teaching, loving, collaborative, anti-asshole, community that helps every one out,
WHY is rif dead? Normal rifts can be ran. the person gets to the RG and invites people and they collect blood shards, now they have to pay 1 shard to get the free blood shards Instead of 5 blood shards every few rifts?

It's dead because the runner still has to pay 1 shard, every time. RIF is based on the runner getting a free rift. The runner will have no benefit AT ALL with the new system.
SO your saying that because runners no longer get free rifts that they wont run rifts anymore? Runners still get all the normal gold and loot from the rift. Only now there is no way for an "opener" to rip of the runner. If you think for a moment that people don't want to be lazy and get easy blood shards you sir are mistaken. Runners will still run and get more loot and leeches will still join at rift guardians...only now they have another reason as good runners will make better greater rift shards.

actually if you think about it the runner would still have a reason to run rifts and invite ppl. I know i will continue to run and invite ppl if the community still exists post 2.1. it only costs one fragment and the increased drop rate for the runner (not sure if this would affect greater rift shards or not) @ RG. just my 2 cents. hopefully this is the case.
"Runners" will not invite anyone except their friends. It doesn't make sense. Why slow down and wait 1/5 of the time it took to do the entire rift just to share the RG with some randoms that are leeching? To hell with pointless leeching that profits nobody except the leech. And yes there's a grouping bonus, I doubt that will matter to most once they realize they can be a lot faster not wasting their time. It also gives you the freedom to finish a rift if you've got an awesome tileset, etc.
I think it's silly to believe the community will continue as it has. And also, to the OP, there's no "Community" in a group that regularly numbers up to 10k and is generally a "first to message gets in" channel. It's very efficient. But there is no sense of community.

Get your RIF in while you can!
