I am really curious to find out who "we" might be . You show up on the forums every couple of months, the biggest issues of the game haven't been solved in YEARS and still its raining likes for your statement left and right.

The community is still undecided if the shotblocking change was helpful and now you do another change that not only comes out of the blue but will not show effects until like mid 2014, until then we will have less than 25k users and the downward spiral will turn faster and faster. Achievements are still bugged like its 1989 and as far as I see nodoby is really interested in this stuff.

I am puzzled how after all those years you still have not found a way to communicate with the userbase and how you are knowingly butchering the game...

Don't worry Knecht while I may show up only every couple of months, I still remember your infamous habit of projecting "I think" into "we think", quite ironic that you ask to find the "we", right?
If you replace all collective terms in your message with I, me or my, suddenly your message seems to be correct.

Well I guess ignoring a couple thousand users that left the game, might be a reason you think adressing my opinion as a single persons thought might be alright. You're doing it wrong! Srsly.

Actually you're not doing it right.....whatever gets done you will bitch about it anyway. That means at some point people stop taking you "srsly". There was a lot of complaining about SB not being strong enough....and since last season BB's are trying to change that but still you will always complain.

And have you actually polled all those users that left the game why they left? Maybe the problem is getting new users? Or getting them to stick around? Either way you don't know why they left and I doubt that someone that leaves within a few weeks has the same complaints as a regular guy that's been around here forever. So you might not be the best person to judge why they left.

Great change on the salary. An efficient method to making JR/SB more useful.

Also a great change to eliminate bot drafting. This is a super move to promote more useful drafts for new teams and increasing the chances of drafting a superstar or better in bot land. This will help new teams either get more money or build around a star.

Has any thought been put into making the transfer wire more effective? As in making more younger players available with decent starting skills? As is now, there are not many young/decent players around to train/build around. Most of them are either capped or too low to try to train. Having a 8-10K salary 21 year old free agents is a nice alternative to the current situation.

Also any thoughts on overpriced players? Can we have a mechanism where a player requires 2 bids to be sold or cannot be put on the waiver continually? Just some suggestions that would remove some teams from getting to the top just by making tons of money on transfers.

Great change on the salary. Good job ;)

If the game lost almost 50% of its peak userbase its hard to deny SOMETHING is wrong. I can only tell from what I have seen in my league and country and what other users have told me. We have like 20-30 new users in Austria every season (rough estimate) and 99% of those leave - I GUESS its because they realize its a slow game AND you have to stick around like 1-2 years to catch up. Its not my job to find out why, as its not me who is running the game and wants to squeeze some money out of it (this is no charity right?).

Well it seems that you don't like changes at all. The last months BBs are really trying to solve many of the issues and to be honest they've made a good progress.
You have to admit that even if you think that they are not here, they do care about the game/users and they are trying hard to improve this game. Sometimes maybe the changes are coming a little later than they had to but this is something caused from the lack of resources.

I can't judge if they try hard, what criteria could I use to measure the amount of effort they are putting in? First of all their presence in this game is less than sufficient (for the last few years), so from that standpoint they are not trying hard enough. Users are walking away from this game in masses, so thats another argument in the "not hard enough" section.

If there is a lack of resources they should study hard how to increase the amount. There were many suggestions - rename a player for a dollar and buying a second team in a country of your choice (that would somewhat be beneficial to leagues all around the world) are two examples that can help a lot in this regard.

I think some people here are too attached to the "they [BBs] got a real life and real jobs too"-idea, that they forget that this game is a business and we are the customers - I as a customer decided to be very vocal and demand a high level of service, there is strong competition in the online gaming industry and if you fall behind you're done. Thats whats happening here. So please don't always bash me because I am very aggressive and loud with my critizism, but see it as a way to express my frustration with business owners who are - for whatever reasons - ruining a once great product.
