People will never intentionally devote time to trianing lower potentials enmass. I just don't think it will happen. NOR will they train 3 or more positions consistently. People will always tend towards training 1 position/as fast as possible. Profitable or not. Good for the global health of game/market or not. People will also cheat to do this if it is the best option, as currently is the game design.
Completely agree. I think the appeal has to come in a different flavour.
TOO hard for most people not to just end up really ruining prospects and wasting hundreds of thousands at a time
People are even admitting as much
The players in existence do not have the skills to earn what we are capable of paying them, thus we have surplus and inflation. This creates messed up cycles of inflation and deflation where peoples training patterns can radically alter the market.
This is true as well. We've always focused on the movement in user numbers, taxes, reduction of FA to explain inflation, but the salary reduction that started a long time ago and is still going on is another obvious reason.
This whole opening post should be quoted in full, all the time, everywhere.
