if you believe that a transfer is illegal complaint, but do not confuse being a good buyer / seller to be a cheater ....

Please re-read my post and find where am I accusing you of cheating.
Waiting...

Did that? So, found anything? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Let me put it in other words and MAYBE you will understand 1% of what am I saying:

You are taking advantage of your knowledge on NEW teams that don't know any better.

You are driving them away and hurting the game...and taking pride in it (good buyer/seller).

Goldman/Sachs was also a good bank and they did nothing wrong...except contribute a lot to world financial crisis!

And that's how YOU will contribute a bit to Buzzerbeater being mediocre instead of being good. You and others like you.

Sorry, but I don't think you need 1M roster only to be able to survive in D.I. I'm sure 800k is more than enough. If you have a NT player or two, even better.

550k (arena) + 230k (TV) + 120k (merchandise) = 900k
800k (roster) + 80k (staff) + 10k (scouting) = 890k

So that's 10k/week. Add 50k/week from cup and daytrading...

I agree though Wolph and others who play in Japan D.I get much more money each week.

I have a suggestion that is linked to what is done in real estate market : additionnal taxes calculated on the increase in value.

Buy a player for 100k. Sell him for 300k. The additionnal taxes will go on the 200k of difference. Higher the increase in value is, higher the taxes % is .
This wont prevent noobs from buying too expensive players (like this one in my division did few days ago http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/84853/transferhistory.aspx ), but it will make day traders look for the right price to re-sell (in a short term trading).

I do agree with managers who want to keep daytrading as a part of the game. But a "honest" 200% increase in value cannot be reached in 2-3 weeks. Even with the best trainer and elastic effect in training etc.
A 10%-50% increase in the price (on a 2 week term) is still reasonnable and can be linked to the demand/offer evaluation (a player bought for 100k can be selled 150k the next week, this should not be seen as cheating).
But a 200% (or even more) increase in value in a 2 week term is not a "honest" offer.

A "honest" and strong increase in value can only exist if the player has been trained well for a season time (and get his 5 or 6 ups). Day trading should exist, but not with that huge sales margins.

I agree completely. This suggestion makes the most sense. I also think tax % on the profit should go down with time, but not very fast

Grullo's issue is you get the same arena income and a bit less in TV rights with roster of 400k compared to his 1M, or my 800k. So you can basically gain at least 300k a week compared to him. That's at least 3M/season, if not more...
