Recently I've encountered several farm teams, such as this one (35519), I think farm teams should be illegal and get banned instantly, it's not what this game was meant for, it's just a disgusting way to grow NT players...

I agree.

I think we should try our best to keep this game as pure and as balanced as possible. this kind of teams ruin the game's balace by creating "Super Players" that no real team can manage thier salaries.

We should consider limitting the NT total salaries as a way to stop this kind of behavior... (Just a thought...)

i believe such teams will exist in every constellation, and why not?

The manager have fun, in building the player and following his progress and the one from the NT, and other teams ain't don't get any disadvantage through it - ok maybe some div I teams who like to buy this player because they could easily pay those 60k salary.

But you are right in one way, other player with high potential could reach very high salarys, and i expect even the top teams can't pay them and maybe those player will move from team to team and will bacrupt then.

This will not happen.

As long as a team follows the rules against cheating, there will be no punishment given, and rightfully so.

Rightfully so..... ok then can you forsee a rule change that would prevent such an obvious case like the one quoted.

Irrespective of the fact this guy is only an Allstar potential it only takes a fraction of teams like this in more developed countries to make it near on impossible for a genuine manager to have one of their players represented at NT level.

Is this what you wish to see happen?

but who will decide, which team is a farm and which team only has a star player?

(26193) - this teams pay more for their 2 star players then for the rest of the team, but in my eyes it is no farm.

Other team are also succesfull in having one really superior player, and some "role" players.

Why not? you're not a BB so don't rule out things that are over your head...

for Crazy:
My idea is that a farm team=your only purpose is to train players for your NT, and don't care what are the consequences on their team.
so
I suggest that every GM(in his own country) will check once a week if there's any player in the NT that's in a farm team, and ban the farm team+delete the player from the DB(or just don't let them be a FA)

what is when you have fun to build the strongest player then possible, should that to be forbidden also?

Like i said before, i have a lot of contact to player who build nt players and they have fun with it, and that the target of a game. Such an team like the link in the first post, don't punish any other player.

Mmh so what is exactly an famr, you even can not say it ;) If the linked team from me a farm? At which point you become a farm?

What is with players who like to make an restart, and sell they player and maybe like to attack at a later point - maybe with their favorite player or a genious player?

Why is farming is allowed, when the player ain't in the NT?

If the team is not an additional account and the managers likes to grow NT players then why not. The problem is that these farm teams might be NT coaches additional account or any manager who is active in some sort of NT program. It's hard to catch them though, because the more experienced manager can prolly avoid making mistakes what could get him banned for multimanaging...
