Let me explain how destruction teams work.
Team A places a player worth 200k in market for sale for 200k, team B (destruction team) places a bid for that player for 600k and therefore buys player and then places player in market for 1k.
Someone obviously reports this and GMs do their research. You are telling me that the only problem this causes is an adjustment on price and nothing else? Cause in my eyes this might imply something a lot worse. Especially if it happens more than once. I.e. 3-4 times.
It might imply in the eyes of community and GMs, that this team is making other teams in order to sell players in higher value. Hence transfer of money, and having more than one account.
And its almost impossible to prove that team B (destruction team) is independend of Team A.
Plus in addition to issue of illegal transfer or more than one teams, there is another problem. Lets assume that manager of Team A is clever, and he will not use the entire amount he made i.e. 600k for new transfers, instead he should report the incident to GM and wait for adjustment/fine. However, if that fine/adjustment is completely dependant on view of GMs, he might have already used some of that money for buying other players and have only kept smaller amount for fine than one required. What happens then? He might be in negative money, and hence be forced to sell players in order to settle this.
Therfore impact of destruction teams far greater than you are suggesting.
thanks
p.s.
to go back to the point of this thread, the real argument that i have heard so far against the idea suggested, is that GMs will spend more time than they have, having to write all the punishments and penalties!!!! Because frankly having a pillory would not mean that GMs would have to discuss their penalties. Same rule of no public discussion would apply.
Surely time consuming is no reason to stop a suggestion especially if there are benefits from such a suggestion.
I compeltely understand the point that GMs volunteer, and work for free, but i am paying money, and other users also pay money, so surely this is not, in my eyes, a sufficient excuse not to go ahead with this suggestion. At the end of the day, assign this job to another user, someone like a GM-assistant, whose only responsibility will be the pillory. There are ways around it, if the only negative is the extra time required for implementing the idea.
I am suprised we havent heard from a BB to see how practical such an idea is, and also to hear their views on pros and cons of this.
