It's in the rules and there is no change in this subject. I suppose this is the reason to not mention it in the midseason post.

Its in the rules and there is no change in this subject. Not only was the announcement of a change to promotion, it was described as being a hybrid BB/Utopia promotion. Hybrid means a mix, and so its not clear if the rules would be exactly the same or not. I asked as long ago as the 11th December whether bonuses would be given to the extra teams. At no point since then has this been answered.

In another thread GM-Athrun Zala told off some users for making assumptions about the promotion changes. That assumption was that promotion bonuses would be given.

Then comes the midseason announcement and there's still no mention of whether promotion bonuses would be given. Now you're telling me I should have assumed this meant that the rules on this subject weren't changing.

Its not really my fault you and your cohorts have no idea how to communicate.

This entire post; this entire thread in fact; is a shining example of the lack of clarity here. I'd tell you exactly what I think of you and your post, but unfortunately I'd be banned.

Here you have the reason because your questions are ignored.

And here you have the reason why the game is failing.

Your elitist behavior, ignoring questions on purpose and arrogant stance on criticized changes damages the relationship between owners and customers.

nobody bothered about actually stating whether promotion money will be handed out to the second best team

All promoting teams will have their bonus as it has happened all the time with teams promoting instead of bots and in Utopia.

How do we fix a hyperinflated economy?

Hand out even more money. Great success!

I guess I missed that in my economics classes.

First we have no hint that developpers consider the economy hyperinflated or not

I've also said this before, I believe they want inflation, and more of it.

How much of the total salary mass would be need to be raised to compensate this ?

Well, they said they said they were going to raise salaries last season in such a way as to be almost a neutral effect, yet in fact their proposed salary increase actually caused salaries to fall slightly. For Foto's reference, this is from their news post. This season they're saying salaries will raise. However, they've chosen to increase salaries but making it even more difficult to do anything other than play LI, something users have been fighting against for many seasons, and not by raising salaries across the board.

Salaries would be the easiest way to curb inflation, if the BBs wished to do so. As I said I think they don't. I think its clear that the majority of users do not enjoy the game as much as they used to, and one of the main reasons, (I have actually been told this on many occasions) is the economy. Some people actually already regard it as broken.

This next part is conjecture, but I do think they BBs are trying to inflate the economy because they think this will make people train. I think this is flawed, I think it won't work, and it will continue to piss people off.

They don't tell us anything tangible but they do often drop hints, and I think its clear they'd like to see more of training more players. They could help us do that, but they've decided instead to try to force us.

I'm sure the staff will be along now, those aren't so petty as to ignore my posts, to tell me that if we don't train there won't be any players and is that what I want. To avoid that I'm going to say now, no, I'd love for everyone to be able to train.

Hey....PEOPLE have been suggesting these things for about 20 seasons now. You do know that PEOPLE is a word used for when there are more than one PERSON saying or doing something? So YES...people are saying the game is OLD, OUTDATED, and needs to fixed before it dies. Just because you and the other blind robots can't see what is right in front of you. They are taking money from users for advertisements but it is not working. It is time they realize that they need a better product. And I know that when the game goes under 15,000 users, it will be the point of no return. And I don't give a damn about your opinion. I am still fighting for this game!!!
Instead of talking trash, you should just say THANK YOU and go on your way.

If the developer/s or owners or BB - who do we have to address anyways? - fail to see the issues, the game is doomed anyways.

If they don't consider the economy hyperinflated it's game over. A 12 year old with some experience should be able to see the issues and problems connected to the economy.
