Tanking is just a bullshit move. I'm playing teams now that are fielding 2 player line-ups in the regular season. What fanbase would support that nonsense? And if you are ballsy enough to admit it, I have to wonder about the priorities of the folks running the game. I've been a supporter since I started here in what, Season 7; but unless someone puts and end to the anti-competitive play, game to game, next season might be my last. And that's not a threat or an ultimatum--I don't expect anyone care about my 50 bucks a year; I just don't find the game interesting under these circumstances, knowing it is condoned and engaged in by the people running the game.

Sportsmanship is an easy concept to grasp: no suggestion will help; you either get it or you don't. They allegedly addressed tanking several seasons ago, so it isn't as if they were unaware of its existence; they approve of the tactic or they wouldn't allow it.

I like this game, but afraid it will not last long...

Many good things are done, but it is clear that there were much more mistakes and continuing...

I doubt the gane can exist with less than 15k users.

There's just a question to answer to understand if BB is going to death: is there any owner of the game that is earning any money right now?
If the answer is no, just shut it down.
If the answer is yes: is there any extra money to spend in advertising?
Because visibility is the only key to keep it alive.


Even if the answer is no, there is no reason to shut it down.
With current user trends, in two years we will still have over 16000 users.
Sure, that's not great compared to prior user levels, but it is still a heck of a lot of people playing a game they enjoy.
And who knows, in the meantime, maybe some folks will figure out a way to increase awareness and turn the tide back to gaining users on a consistent basis.


It has been suggested so many times but i will say it again...

...a BB app would be a step in the right direction in this regard.
