That is an interesting idea. Not a salary cap but an individual cap. I think this should be a limit on buying not keeping because we don't want people to have to get rid of their trainee. Worthy of exploration.

Stop Newbies from Bidding on Monsters

I strongly disagree with this kind of rules from a philosophical general point of view.

Let people make mistakes.
Fire burns and there is no better way to learn it than to experience it.
Okay, okay, it's much too dangerous so rules can be made to prevent these particular cases :)
But bidding on monsters is harmless.

Making mistakes is part of the process of learning.
I hate with passion rules set up under the pretense of protecting me. Leave me alone.
If I make bad mistakes, I badly need to learn. Don't take this away from me.

Cheers,
Have fun !

That's why the restriction would only be there for a short time. Make all the mistakes you want after a few weeks but it's just too easy to wipe out early and then not come back.

So you disagree with seat belts, traffic lights, speed limits etc? They can still drive but just be led to drive safely.

In case you are not kidding, help, you are one of them ! ;p

You are not comparing these serious issues with bidding on monsters, are you ?
Don't bask in this awful intellectual conformism pleeease :)
You are a miracle like every other human being.
Don't let the real world eat your brain :)

If you're kidding, well, you got me :)


Chihorn, your "cheater" argument can be heard but it is still annoyingly using a loosely related problem to forward a point of view. Sorry, this sentence sounds awkward even to my ears... er fingers...

How many cases of players wrecking their finances on day one ? Are they really genuinely interested players ? It sounds like what one would do by joining, having a walk around the site, then trolling. The very few who had truly made the mistake are not numerous enough to require a rule. And it is not a favour made to them. Besides nothing is wrecked for ever, certainly not on day 1 and there is always the possibility to start afresh. Many top team players have started anew, it is not a cataclysm and the probabilty to survive it is very high.
