I read the messages and your suggestions, you have a very passive-agressive way of writing, if you want to be understood better I would suggest to tone down that attitude and actually focus on writing about pros and cons of this suggestion, instead of bloated messages and false affirmations like "only rich players are against this suggestion".
Regarding this suggestion, let's enumerate a few points we can discuss, with current draft situation:~
- 58 TSP HoF'ers would easily go for 1.5M before the draft skill boosted the 19 year old age tier.
Now we regularly see GREAT HoF'ers going for 500k-800k unless they have a very specifically sought build.
So we are already talking about a reduction of 3x in original player prices in a few seasons, plus now we have way more players to pick up from the transfer list due to the boost to the 19y/s.
I have been scouting and I can easily find GREAT trainess for incredibly cheap (MVP+) that could also reach my national team if traind properly.
- How will your suggested change really impact the market, specifically draftee prices, at the moment?
We already saw a huge reduction in player prices, I repeat, even newbies like me can easily afford great superstar draftees for their teams (MVP/HOF).
You are suggesting that the market be flood with draftees from bot teams, do you understand the implications of this? What are you suggesting is that draftees should become worthless due to the sheer numbers of draftees that would come from bot teams.
I agree that maybe, in leagues where there are 1 or 2 bot teams MAXIMUM due to users who became botified, should not have first picks in draft if they end last. But no more than that. Users in leagues where there are more than 2 bot teams should not benefit from this.
- Nobody said draft guarantees you great players
This is a basketball sim, just like in real life, you never know what can come from the draft each season, it's based on luck, you don't deserve great players just because you tanked and sacrificed a season. When a user sacrifices a season to end up last, or many draft points, they willingly accept that the draft can be good or bad.
- Micronations
I see that you are managing a micronation, let me ask you this, if bot teams start to release drafted players in the market, how do you think it will impact micronations? Positively or negatively?
Let me answer my opinion: VERY NEGATIVELY.
For every good Andorrean player that would be released from nations of Europe, 100 good polish draftees would be released, 100 of spanish players would be released, 100 of USA players would be released, 100 of Italian players would be released.
Now let me ask you, who do you think people will try to train to eithe sell for profit or try to reach NT, micronations players or polish/italian/spanish?
I think you know the answer to this question.
So my opinion on this suggestion is a VERY BIG no.
