What you say sounds good, and basically it makes some sense. But, Hattrick has proofen what happens if you allow unlimited daytradig i a game like this. They still have some problem in this area, even though it isn't even close to the DT problems a couple of years ago.

So what will the cost/tax be on selling players after the ASG?

Steve

and will the rules only apply to players bought after the rule change or also to new players acquired in the past?

I simply answer you that in my opinion doesn't exist a player understimate but there are a lot of newbies that buy players at fool prices (going in bankrupcy after some weeks). The market could be in balance also if I buy for 1k and sell for 1k, is not important to receive 800k if I've to spend 900k the day after because there is inflaction due to the day traders. All your opinion is based that there are players understimates, but how you can say which is the real market value? I can only see people that trying to realise profit selling with more price; finally I say that all this money don't give me a benefit and you'll see that when the skills will become more important you'll never find a player because they will pick up all the best players.

A lot. In fact, it'll be your 1st born.

Seriously, this is from the News item:

8) We will institute an agent's commission on transfers, with the commission decreasing for players who have been with their current team for a longer time. The rate table will always be published, but will vary regularly, as it is one of the ways we will try to regulate the economy and prevent massive inflation or deflation.

-Daytraders do not have a monopoly on the transfer list, so they cannot constantly raise prices. All daytraders do is make sure that players do not sell for below their fair market value. A smart daytrader will stop bidding when s/he realizes that the player is at market value because there is no more money to be made off that player.

Not true. A smart trader stops before the player reaches market value, otherwise he runs a high risk to loose money on the trade.

All you say make sense and I fully agree on it.
But with the current situation day trading is much more profitable than a good training program and team scores (in terms of the more victories the higher income).
Chespirito got to the point with his post (in particular the second point).

Hopefully the new agent's commission will re-equilibrate the situation. Many players wouldn't like a game where the guy who spends the most time on the transfer market wins.

Sorry but if the prices of players are rising, this is not iflation? And who is that tries to make biz offering for players? The day trader so they make some contribute to the inflation, imho ;)
You've reason for the third point but a smart day trader is "acceptable", I totally disagree with people that makes a lot of, at this point I can say, "exchanges". Anyway consider that they've also a team and when they decide to change their best player they can do that without problem, today I've seen offers from day trader for more than 500k/player, it means that they don't limit the range at very poor players but they are raising the target, simply because they've more money to spend (or waste). Last, if you have 1000 day trader, be sure they will monopolize the market, for this reason it should be good to stop the bleeding until we are in time. This is my personal opinion of course but believe me in Italy (and as far as I can see not only in Italy) nobodyy except traders is happy to make bids against "big traders" ;)

because this is not an "economic game" where wins who is able to realize more profit

Sorry but that is not true! The hole Game based upon on money, money for trainer player, stadium... It is not a game which is like a Playstation where you play with an joystick! Without economy the game does not work - my opinion!
