Look were I said "abusive sellers.". As in farm team//tanking teams. I find it funny to pick what you want to reply to. I don't think this tax help with so many flaws in the game. I don't have to agree, every man is granted his opinion.
People who buy players for 1k and sell them for 300k aren't hurt in the least by this nor is it a change directed at that behavio(u)r. I don't disagree that some action on that is needed but public shaming of people who engage in that doesn't seem useful. The tax, specifically, is designed to make people who are running unsustainable economies based on money outside of their day to day operations and who are doing it with purchased rather than developed talent will have to burn more of their money to do so. It's still possible, and just like the gnashing of teeth about the GS drop on the TL, it'll be a sky is falling scenario until near the end of the season, and then teams that are going to load up will still do so, just at a slightly higher effective salary cost now. But what the change is intended to discourage is people treating this like an economic sim where the goal is to build up a large bank account, and then mindlessly purchase the highest salary players and promote upward.
Having a 18k in cap use is what 54K$ positive. Look man thats nothing to scream about. Some teams have never trained a player and have 350k to push over in luxury. With unbalanced tactic these teams have just gotten stronger sellers and winners.
I see some numbers and words, and I apologize but I fail to see any cohesion between them - I don't have a clue what you're trying to say.
Look I make 1.5 -2 million a year as club in 4 div, I don't tank , If wanted to I could have 150-450k exempt every full year. Put that in perspective for a bigger club who knows how to play but is playing unfairly tanking or is a abusive seller. Now tell me how is that good thing? For everything there is loop hole.
I'm sure that when it comes to guys who stuck around in V longer than should be physically possible to pound on bots and make money, you're one of the best. I acknowledge that, and only wish I could have had that much fun instead of the joy and pain of honest competition with superior managers to test my own meager skills.
Money is not hard to get on the game, they are going to seek a way to get regardless of a tax, some already have it now. All im saying is balance the tactic before you add a tax because a lot already have the advantage. Take the tactic selling power away ( abusive farming, selling ) what do they have after the tax? *this is why teams are going above what they can pay for player because tactic imbalance*.
Every thing would be equal, but that is not the case here.
You can be plenty successful with nearly any tactic you want well into the higher levels of the game, no matter how much tactical imbalance there may be at the B3 level. And a lot of that is economic in nature because the salary formulas rewarded the LI builds heavily and made outside builds unattractive. But of course you're going on and on about the imbalance because that's your scapegoat - as long as there's that "imbalance" to blame your failures on, you can revel in the fact that you've got a big bank account, and that the game is unfairly holding you back. Enjoy life in IV!
