1. Have you think any time, change the World Cup?
2. Do you think that another payment way can be introduced for southamerican community?
1. No.
2. We are working on it. UltimatePay will soon be introduced. We've got most of the system already in place and it will replace PayByCash.
BB-Marin, have you ever considered making a major change (not just tweaking one skills effect) to the salary formula to try and correct some of these imbalanced formulas and make it easier to run a predominately outside shooting team? And if so, how easy or difficult do you think it would be to make and enforce the formula changes in practice?
No, major changes in salary would probably result in a user revolt. We must take things slow and cautiously. It's pretty easy to make these changes, but it's very hard to predict their effects.
Hmm I though it was a well known problem, but as it should be a very low number of players. What looks wrong is these team had daytrading in the past and accumulated money. Then they evolved to continue to do profit with top players now. Of course I didn't check every players and I don't remember their ID so I can't give you clear example.
I just remember Le Saout because he was a U21 world champion player at the potential limit. Sold around 1 M at young age. And put on sale at 2 M at 25 years old ... but he was already at his limit ! 0.o
My point is these team are killing the hope of casual players team who can't follow every bid. I don't mind losing a bid but when I see the same player on sale some minute after, and usually for weeks, it's irritating. It's not daytrading as it takes weeks to find someone willing to pay the high price, but most of time, they aren't training the player either.
I guess you can check the history of brought players put on sale just after. If you add an history like that in your database. If you get my point, I'm still curious of what you thought about this.
Again, buying a player for a low price and then selling him afterwards for a much higher price is not against the rules. That's not daytrading and it's not even unfair. Also, as I said, selling him right after would make no sense because of the high transfer tax rate. What you're seeing in the transfer page doesn't include the tax paid. Maybe then that manager wouldn't be in the green after all. Casual players have the same chance of buying nice (even NT) players just like everyone else, but since it takes time and effort (to raise the money), they do so rarely. I guess what bothers you most is that such players carry a very high price which only some managers are prepared to pay. They are luxury, as they should be. And the fact that bothers you even more is that sometimes, a persistent manager gets lucky and buys such a player under value. That's not illegal, it's just a combination of patience, persistence and luck. Nothing wrong there.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, I don't want to go deeper into this discussion. We disagree on a basic, underlying level, hence our conclusions cannot align either. Let's agree to disagree and move on, please.
