Anyway, I think it is more productive to try to focus on how a longterm solution would look like. I am sure that everyone, including the BBs, dont think that a panic solution as the one they had to introduce now is good. The current solution offers a good time out in which the community can be constructive and find better solutions for the future.


This is just a temporary system, because the top leagues earns that much money and don't ahve the possibility to waste it in salaries ;) So we will have 2-3 Seasons a handicap like that nowadays, and after it it will hopefully run normal.

The chosen solution on the other hand creates a controvercy, but even if we are a few that are upset with it you must admit that it is still a pretty calm and balanced reaction we are seeing in the forum.

The same can be said for the alternative solution. I don't see too many people protesting the suggestion in this thread, therefore it shouldn't be creating a controversy at all if implemented.

I know that it is temporary, but I actually think it will take more than 2-3 seasons, therefore it would not hurt to have a better system in place in the end of this period.

Why should they protest? It is not like it seem to be in "risk" of being implemented.

Yes it is a lot more, but I was there (arround 2002) when it was about as big as BB is now, and I promiss you, the contovercys where a lot bigger.

Because it's up for the discussion in the thread? No-one really knows whether or not the BBs are monitoring this thread and whether or not they are planning to pick up ideas from it. Maybe the fact that barely anyone seems to be protesting against this suggestion might make them change their mind.

You might be right, but I see it as very unlikely that they would change solution in the near future, and I hope they want. Because, that kind of flip-flopping would defnitely hurt the game in the long run.

At the same time I am sure that they do monitor this thread and they take ideas into consideration for the future. If they dont panic they can later on present a better longterm plan, without risking too much controvercy.

I should say though that the intention wasn't to be scientifical about it or anything. It was to stress that this is a big controversy.


few seconds ago it was clear that everybody hates that change, and now is a controversity? ;)

I would say a fix changed won't make it better, because the main problem of this solution was, that it comes so fast ... But if you act to adept the changes and another fix comes you got the same problems

Well, everybody hating it would still be controversy since it will be implemented afterall. It just wouldn't be comunity vs comunity controversy, it would be comunity vs bb's (which by all means are still part of the comunity anyway).

I'm not sure that a maintenance fee would be the correct solution. First, it would be confusing to have something like that changing on a seasonal basis - especially when it needs to be 40% of ticket costs one season.

What actually might be needed is a free market in wages. Fans would be willing to see a matchup between two respectable players, if those are the two best players in BB as they would two legendary players.

But right now most of the money for the best players goes to the former owner of the best players, rather than to the player. And that isn't really a cost, since the player can be re-sold again. It is more a conversion of assets.

You could perhaps have a division-based salary surcharge. But that might tend to keep the best players in lower divisions.
