And I feel even more sorry about it when I see GMs explaining to new players how to do it instead of discouraging them and show them how the game should really be played.
I am not saying that it should not be a part of the game at all. But it should be restricted in such a way that people who daytrade should NOT get and ADVANTAGE (which they do now) over the people who play and make wins and advance or/and is making training strategies.
well.
As a GM , I think the task of GMs is to answer and help people with their questions as good as possible, as long as it is within the margins of the rules.
I like to point out to you that you seem to request from others that they read your posts well, while you don't seemed to have noticed I actually was discouraging daytrading by telling it is prety hard to do. And it is!
buying a 2k player and selling him for 125k to a noob isn't daytrading, it's cheating, and GMs WILL reduce the economy of the seller to a regular price for the player, which will nullify the profit, while the seller still paid the tax.
So doing this kind of 'trading' is a no go!
For your second paragraph I am totally puzzled about how you can write such a controversy.
It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to not get advantage from daytrading if you do it right. You put training and game play at the other end of the balance, but truth is that when everyone manages to do this all correct and gains maximum benefit from it, the gain from daytrading, even though limited by BB, will ALWAYS be an advantage, no matter how you turn it.
There are a ton of waterproof anti-day-trading systems that could be implemented, and all kinds of tricks won't work as good. a player needs to play 1 game per time he is put on the TL, ...rubbish, that is no anti daytrading system, is is a limitation, yes, but it won't take it away.
In BB there are limitations already, and prety good ones if you ask me.
per player you can not gain a big profit, since then it would be selling over regular prices and you will get a fine. users do not see this, so they might think it works, but no it realy doesn't, if someone sees it and reports it (and chances someone sees it are realy big since the TL is always crowded with interested people) you loose all your profit and risk a fine if you don't report it yourself!
So limited profit per player.
Then, the tax system makes sure the amount of players is limited too, since after a few, the taxes get so high, that even if you can get more from him then you paid yourself, you won't get to keep enough money after taxes to make profit from it.
Believe me. Even the cracks at daytrading can't make a huge amount from it.
Should BB decide it has to go, that nobody even can daytrade, it is easy to establish. A player bought needs to stay in the team for at least a full season, and has to play at least 15 games before he can get sold. End of trading. Period. This wouldn't even limit selling your own draftees and trainees.
So untill BB brings such a system, they do not want to destroy daytrading, because it IS part of the game.
If tomorrow someone comes to the forums complainting that expanding arena's gives an unfair advantage, what would you like BB to do? Set default arena sizes for all teams?
Do not reply to me by telling it is diffrent, because it isn't. It's part of the game. And the one who wants to see it gone can say just as well this is a manager simulation, where setting your tactics is the key, and arenadiffrences are unfair. To me it is just as valid as your argument.
Every aspect in BB is part of the game. if something arises BB wants out of it, they will make sure it happens. So if they don't, it's part of the game.
Hope you understand.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
