I think that's what I was trying to say but you said it much better (free agents = draconian measure). Although, my feeling says you were not trying to argue my point. I think there was a time for this draconian measure but its time is coming to an end.

Draconian? ROFL.

Draconian means unusually severe or cruel. Man, you guys sure know how to blow things out of proportion. This is an online game. Adjectives like draconian should never be used for an online game. Is the market right now downright crummy for sellers? Sure. Is it cruel? Haha. Go to Somali or Sudan to see what cruel means.

Draconian?

It was his word. As others have pointed out in the past, I am not a human dictionary or a grammar master. So please feel free to insert whatever you feel is more appropriate.

Draconian means unusually severe or cruel.

Take out the cruel and unusual part and that's what I meant.

I am not a human dictionary or a grammar master

Neither am I. I only got a B in English 101. But you're on the internet. If you had no idea what the word meant, google it. You make yourself less credible to the people reading this debate if you go on like that.

I think that that the problem,more than the simply prizes,is in the way the market work

The situation in a normal market,prices should work in this way:

Top Nt players -->I div starters -->2div starters -->3 div starters -->4 div starters... and so on

It should exist some kind of player with a certain level of primary skill to use as a basic parameter,adjusted on age,potential,salary,secondaries and so on,to evaluate the value of a player
When I was in my first season in game(season 6/7) you could find a roughly affidable "basilar player" to evaluate the players on market list,and you could estabilsh a certain economic difference among the value of a 4 div starter and a % div starter


This linear prices system in the actual market doesn't really exists,because with this economical system it happens that Top centers worth less tha 3 div starters,the price difference between categories of player was reduced or completely eliminated and the fact that there are less money in circulation,boost the importance of some outliar in the prize of some player,far away from the market value(both in positive and negative direction)

Draconian simply means harsh or extreme measures. Most words in the English language have shades of gray and can be used in many different situations. I got a nearly perfect score in both the verbal and writing portions of the SATs by the way.

So? Still doesn't apply to the BB market.

I disagree, you can apply it to many things.

Oh geez. Let's make this really simple.

1 person made the claim that free agents are a draconian measure. Another person agreed. I defined draconian - cruel. You defined it as harsh/extreme. Tell me what part of the market (let me remind you, an online game) is draconian (harsh, extreme, cruel)?

In short, I refuted their claim by saying they're exaggerating.

You make yourself less credible to the people reading this debate if you go on like that.

I'm not really worried about my credibility. If I was, I would never post in global. The more you get to know me, the less credible I become.

;-)

Anyhow, I will agree with smedlock in this respect. The use of draconian is just a red herring that has nothing to do with the actual conversation at hand.
