May i add that there's absolutely no votes on Discord on any survey/poll because there are no live polls at the moment.
At no point in the past decisions were made exclusively on Discord.

BB-Marco answered few questions here and few questions on Discord, this is why we opened this thread - no one gets left behind.

Would you mind to elaborate why there's a discussion on Discord about changing the salary formula, while I can't seem to find any information about it in the forums?

It's very interesting to see how the human being's head works, instead of celebrating that they were favored for a long time, they complain for thinking that they were disadvantaged by a change of command that wants to earn more money, it's very fun to look at it from the outside.

But totally agree with @JoeMaverick.

You get the favored thing out of the hat, just because they said that the prices were not in line, it doesn't mean that we were favored.
What is the criterion for said benefit?
Really, sometimes we have to do a coherent analysis of the situation and see that without having done anything the only thing they have gone looking for is to adjust the supporter upwards, now it's time to see what changes they propose but seeing the salary adjustment already says a lot where the game is going to be destroyed

I think it has already been well explained why this increase happens. In any case, all other countries should be furious with the old owners because we did not have the same adjustments that would allow us to pay less for a long time, that's how things are.

On the other hand, yes of course, we'll see what else they do, saying that they are going to destroy the game seems a bit hasty to me.

1.99/month for features that you use in a regular basis is not cheap?

Atleast in BB you are contributing, to a game you love, a small tight loyal comunity, and a game that really needs this contribution.

The new owners have probably spent more than 30.000€ ATLEAST to acquire the game from the previous ownership.

They are saying we will have a team dedicated developers for this game, they want to bring new features, this development process, time, money, resources, takes a good couple of thousands as well. As things are right now they are not even guaranteed a return on their investment, not anytime soon at least.

And what do we have here? People complaining because their subscription in probably one of their favourite games, got up to a more reasonable value, which (in my opinion) is still cheap.

How many of you subscribe to spotify (5.99€/month), and other subscriptions that are costly?
How many of you bought the yearly FIFA's for 70€ every year? Or football manager for 50€ every year?

Not to say that BB provides as much value as these games, but still, if you are a player of this tiny game, and you want to see it grow and develop as it should, why are you complaining that it got a bit more expensive? You are contributing to it's growth, and let's not forget, even with inflation, and time, the prices did not rise as they should of supporter, so yes, indeed you have been using a service that was undervalued.

Support the team that is investing thousands and thousand in this "dying game", developers which are very costly per hour to pay, and resources.

I am genuinely, and honestly, incredibly tired of reading how much suspicion and setbacks the new ownership is facing, for simple things like highlighting in bold the "Supporter" words.

Do not forget that they paid atleast 30.000€ and I am being generous on this value because it's probably higher, plus the thousands more they are going to invest into this game, consider this information before replying in this thread, and accusing the new ownership.

Support the game, support the new owners who invested heavily, give them time, allow them to also fail and learn from their mistakes.

The new management atleast comes and explains their thought proccess, even if it's something as simple as highlighting the "Supporter" word in bold, respect this, we did not have the same engagement and availability from the previous management.

It's not by being highly pessimistic about every single thing that you will motivate the new staff to engage with the community.

Over the last year, I have analysed plenty of retail and FI site marketing campaign A/B test data. You won't believe how much of a revenue increase you can achieve by simply highlighting a product that has been around all along.

Hey there, i want to emphasize that the salary adjustments are not happening anytime soon. Not next season, not the one after that and not 3 or 4 seasons from now.

That thread is a room for discussions so we will have the community feedback for when it's needed, and then of course like i said in that thread too - then have a discussion with the community AGAIN regard to when they think it should happen.

Regardless, with those things in mind, any update (that won't happen soon) won't be massive or a restructure of the formulas itself.
Just enough to bring more balance, just like we did with the Game Engine updates in many recent updates. The game didn't collapse when we did the Game Engine updates (and it even looks like people are satisfied with what we did) and the game wont collapse when any update will happen, including update to salary formulas.

Players who are 150k won't become 400k. We're not trying to destroy your teams, and we are not stupid to make adjustments that will ruin your teams.

I think you officially missed the „official“ thread for this ;-)

You have more important issues to resolve, such as what your role is in all this, or what functions you occupy in this change of owners, because many have already asked you and you yourself do not know what you are playing.
Stop fanning the flames both on discord and in the forum, step aside and stop speaking with solvent arrogance on behalf of someone you do not represent. It is not surprising that you no longer have the GM in front of you and that coincidentally several communities of different languages ​​and nationalities are involved in a conflict where the name Alonso always comes up in sparks
