Its too easy to dismiss users as negative and again, staff and their supporters are guilty of often doing this. I've given reasons why I believe the changes I've commented on are a bad idea, and not good for the game. Its is not negative for me to say something isn't in the best interests of the game and everyone who plays it. I see that as a positive thing. By dismissing me, and everyone else who comments as merely negative, it shows clearly that what's being said by clearly intelligent people like Robard, Lemonshine and others is not being read properly.

I'm not getting at you specifically, as I don't believe you were getting at me in your post. Nor just the staff. There are other users who blithely wave around the instruction to not be negative.

Personally I comment because I care, and don't want to see what I regard as huge mistakes being made.

I know they wont be effected by this 1 rule, but they have to read this one and all those others and eventually they will 'bother' them once in the future.. It just feels like 'to much to handle'..

Its sucking out the fun for the most of it..

Ps im a newbie now, but i have played the game since S4 for 20+ seasons.

Building my team years ago seemed more fun. Getting dictaded way to much now how BB thinks how i should run my team instead of me running it the way whats best ànd most fun for me.

The amount of managers total still declining right? I dont know why its declining, but i can understand for a real newbie all those rules are just way much to grasp when reading the game manual..

The last home game had 73% attendance (which is very low)
With the boycott you would have got 60% of the 73% so approximately 43% of the maximum capacity.

You have not been affected by the fan boycott.
And he will never be affected as he faces non-human teams in both conferences. Amen.

This is a minor detail that had been brought up multiple times when discussing about tanking in the past and that Mr "We Read And Consider All Posts", aka W.R.A.C.A.P., Foto decided to ignore completely when it was mentioned in this very thread.

Now before I get accused of making things up, I will quote myself when I addressed w.r.a.c.a.p. Foto directly:
All of this while not punishing ANY tanking team in divisions where there is at least 1 bot per conference (and they are the majority in BB). Congratulations...you should have listened to Perpete.

Perpete, feel free to amend if you think the sarcasm is excessive

Newbies won't be affected by the boycott. They won't have the funds to make a difference by it. Unless they get really lucky and draft and sell a 5+ million dollar time.


Attendance penalties start at $500,00 or more per the Game Manuel. A new team that conserves cash could easily save more than that and potentially face the penalty.
