Can I suggest some of your own medicine for a change? Read what you wrote in the other thread and in threads regarding bugs on LCD, changes to 3 point shooting and ask yourself if your attitude is that of someone who wants to have a constructive conversation with his userbase. You are the one who did not want to have a discussion, not me, you even explicitly stated it. And you are the one who has repeatedly said you don't want to talk about features in the game because it would mean revealing too much (whatever that means to you, since you're the sole judge of that too). So which is it Marin? Do you want a discussion about it or not? Also, if you are truly opened to listening to others, closing your post with threats does not make you more credible in your declarations,does it? Attitude, remember? I honestly don't have much more to add. I can look for all the young solid MVP+ who have retired since the beginning of the season to prove that these aren't isolated cases, but I'd like to point out that it obviously became unnecessary the moment you categorically denied that any of the cases I linked above could be a bug, because everything is working as you want it to work. Which is fine, but it so happens to be different from the announcement you made. 1, 10, 100 similar cases will all be working as intended by the same standards. Although I just explained why it is pointless, I will do the check about how many cases have already happened late next week when I'm back from my business trips. At least someone here will show a bare-minimum credibility. I'm very much looking forward to how you will spin your post above when it will be your turn to prove it's not impossible for you be true to your word...I'm willing to bet it will involve blaming misunderstandings and whining.

I think this was pretty lame.

There is a bug thread, and a suggestion thread.

I'm new here, and don't expect anyone to listen to me anyway. But if I wanted someone to this would not be the way I would go about it.

The sarcasm/rudeness levels of your posts are through the roof Lemon, pretty uncalled for.

Could've just stuck your findings/suggestions in a polite manner in the right thread and we all could have had a grown up discussion about it.

The point of his thread is being transparent. I didt see a read thing he said or pointed out the was childish.

Can MM marin be more transparent. yes he can. We are volunteer too. A lot things don't add up, why should we break our backs to find out the math, we have nothing to compare it too. I think it pretty low for BBmain or someone elese to come jump out and say " Nope thats not it" every time. If this was a grown up conversation he would be transparent. We are volunteer we can only go on to know so much, then come to the point of say and things being transparent.. We can only know and do so much, but when does that knowing become a fact for the betterment of BB.. We can not say that only BB Main can.

The guide is labeled basic. the game has changed so much, I understand start of the season changes reports and etc. Im all for that I read them. My whole concern is change the basic BB guide to up to a date fashion. So what he is talking matches these changes. On the fly telling is breeding confusion. IMo Need to know basis deal other things, the private side the code side. Thing like this are needed to understand nothing private about it. Why should it be treated a private?

The game doesn't play like the basic guide anymore. There has been a lot of changes a lot for the better of the game. I don't have a issue with what lemonshine did . While I think he could've sent it to BB marin directly, is a better way to do this., But BB Marin is not going to reply to that.. I think putting it in public squares was risky and maybe even low but it was effective. To getting this thing addressed.

Again what exactly should I try to prove? Marin issues an announcement that fewer young good players should retire. Several people report that more players and specifically more young players are retiring than it used to be the case, and he says this is exactly how he wants things to be. He also clearly states it's not up for discussion. What exactly do you want to discuss or suggest? Whatever you're going to say or suggest, he's going to claim (assuming he changes his mind and feels like discussing) he is right and everything is working as intended, because he's actually saying and doing 2 opposite things, so at least one of them is going to be true.

So yeah, I've tried the bug forum. I didn't see any point in suggesting that he implements what he wrote in the new season announcement, since he claims it is already the case. So I figured that the only realistic option was mocking the (illogical) method and the arrogance displayed in promoting such method.

Blur, in light of all of the above, please do tell me what this thread should have been like to kick start an adult discussion? The question is open to Giannis (not sure why his post has been deleted) and Halla too. I'm confident I'll be able to state my case that this was not an option by linking Marin's posts or quoting him directly. Apologies if that takes a long time, but I only have sporadic access to the internet.

You may have a good point ( I have no idea what the new FA changes have been like) but the mocking just seems uncalled for.

Best thing to do would be layout what you have found in terms of examples and where the new FA parameters are. Then put forward your case as to why you think the changes may actually be worse than before.

Usually sensible points and suggestions breed sensible discussions.
