Ah but the players on my team were not meant to be sold for a profit. I had 12 players on my roster for the playoffs, drafted 3 which leaves me with my current 15. I want to cut weight but wanted to see how some of the new rookies played before I did so which is why I didn't unload at an inconvenient time.

I would have suggested calculating the sales tax from the beginning of season 5 forward not, 14 weeks ago forward or whatever it was. This would ensure people only getting taxed for something against the rules and not getting taxed for something that was perfectly within the rules.

well i have to admit the new taxes seems fair to me.
if i would sell one of my trainees i still get the low tax, only quick cash maybe does not work no more except you buy for 1k and sell for 100k then you still can make money on the market.
whatever most of the people wanted it that way so we have to adapt.

should they have done that, then daytraders could go on for another season... so this was no option...

It was anounced in the news that this was going to happen, and everyone was given about a week time to sell players in the old system. If you desperatly wanted to cut your roster, you should have put them up for sale last week, making sure you asked a low-fair price to make sure they would be gone..

you getting 3-4 days for it not a week, and the other change with the fans was implemented earlier ... Also the bb wants us to sell with a right first bid, so i think this 4 days was a joke.

They should give at leat a half season before implemented changes who affect the long term planning, you have done with the running system.

Sure it was an option, i doN#t see that they destroy the game anyway they get punish trought the fan system ... But it wasn't fair to punish people to rob a bank it robbing the bank was legal, after changing the system that robbing the bank is illegal.

I don't make huge profit, and expected that the changes beginn of the end of the season because of the last break of the text, and i thought this was the best oppurtunity. And i don't sell that much players that you could call me a day trader, but it still affects me and don't let me handly injuries etc. as good as before.

daytrading is not determined by the amount of players you sell.
Daytrading is buying a player, and then selling him for profit, without training him.
Skilltrading is buying players, training them up 1 skill, and selling them again.

Both will feel the effects of the new ruling here, ofcourse a daytrader is able to make many many more trades than the other since he is not depending on any training. It is exactly this limitlessness (is this a correct word?) that BB wanted to end.

But why they can't doo that so, that they don't punish guys for doing normal stuff ...

And such a system like the one they implements now, should havea planning time from the BB AND the user who are affected by that.

because there is no way to draw a well defined line between normal and not normal

is selling a player who is say 24 years old and doesn't train as fast as a 18 year old normal?

i think yes, and whats that comparison about? Did they change the training spped from 24 old, so that they train as fast as 18 year old this season?

No i don't think so, but if theey do so they should announce it before so that you could buy a 23 old player which could get a training space at your team when the changes appear(so that their market value not dramatically increase over night)

Daytrading, I still believe, was good for the market and based on simple economic principals. With daytrading you had an abundance of good players available that could fill a need. You paid market price or you did not accept the inflated price they asked for.

But the point isn't which is which and which is wrong, the point is you should only calculate the penalty from the improper acts which only became improper last week. You can calculate from that point onward with an accelerated hit in the early weeks and a more gradual hit in the following weeks. Example: if you traded an average of 5 people or more per week you get hit and this begins in week 1 and extends so that in week 1 it will calculate only based on week 1 but in say week 5 it will calculate based on weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

I don't see the issue with that. It is the logical wa to do it.

I must agree with you there, but that is not the way BB sees it.

Actually there is no BIG problem for anyone, since no team is forced to sell anything at any time.
If daytrading teams have a little patience and wait for a while before selling a player again they should have no loss of money (so no punishment). If they decide to sell nonetheless they choose to loose money. All teams have choices here. Every week a day-trading team waits with selling again, more and more players fall off the list of sold-players-in-the-last-14-weeks which means the taxes get lower. In a way you can say they choose if they want to get punished or not.
I fully understand you will counter here and tell me you get punished by not being able to sell like anyone else right away, but in fact, in your new attitude of non-daytrader anymore you wouldn't want to sell players anyway. The reason you have players to sell is a remains of your day-trading period. It shouldn't be too hard too keep them a while and sell them without profit nor loss of money. This waiting period could also function as a good means of kicking off the habbit trading.

Everything I say can be countered with arguments, as can everything you say. This is because there is no solution that is equally fair for all players. Would you find it better if players who did not day-trade before would be the ones that got the lesser part of the deal now? They are not the reason this new rule was implemented. If nobody traded, this rule would not come into existance, so if you ask me is it fair that traders have to suffer for doing nothing wrong, I say yes, only because they are the reason why the rule was invented.
Further it is only logic that if a rule is implemented to lower activity on a certain part, it are the ones that are active there that are affected. No?
