Patjebono I quote you always and everywhere

Players with deadlines within 3 days from the announcement are not touched by the changes. You still get 100%.

I think you are wrong. On my economy page the tax is already effective.

Well, at least the announcement says:

"However, for the next three days, you will continue to get full price for players sold. All players whose auctions end at least 72 hours after this news post will have these fees applied."

But it looks like there is a mistake: I have a player with an offer for 60k and I am supposed to get 58k. Maybe a bug?

that wasnt my point....

1) anyone online with money shouldve tried to outbid me on this guy.... no-one on the TL has 2xprof and 3x Strong ratings.. so considering half the dross people spend 300-500k on this was an obvious bargain.

2) following up on the above I am convinced there is and has been more 'Money Dumping' from people setting up duplicate accounts on mediocre players that doesn't get picked up on. The sole reason I decided to DT was to keep up with them as at the beginning November you would not believe the obvious cheating that was going on. So in many ways you can thank me and I guess others for Policing the market over the early weeks as if there was a bargain to be had - we had them - if something looked odd we reported it.....

3) taxes from this day forth is fine. forewarning was great... but to implement on trades before the announcement....mmm.... as I said if i knew it would cost me 250k then chances are I would keep him... its not as if i need the cash and i know i cant replace him at these levels... so I would have least expected the choice...if i click the button to outbid and keep myself god only knows how much id lose...!! I may have to pick up a 1k guy just to see the levels of punishment....sorry taxes!!!

So in many ways you can thank me and I guess others for Policing the market over the early weeks as if there was a bargain to be had - we had them -

Uber LOL ^^. They are not buying everything, they are our saviours!

ned, for our sake we don't have to rise their offers anymore :P.

It looks like a bug so a BB will fix it as soon as they can. Will be up to them to decide if you receive the money.

thanks... i think thats reassuring!!

i assume that the decision will not be unique for me! having re-read the latest news article I interpret this to mean that I am entitled to the whole amount...

having not attempted to list anyone since the update I read on one thread the agents fees are 20%.

has there been a table produced to show the reductions as time goes by or is this a 20% no matter when you sell him on fee? I guess its too much to expect a kickback when a former player of yours gets sold on again??!!

I thought you'd like that one!!

so now you can see its just a vicious circle... the cheaters draw the DT's in to patrol the market...we take our cut when we see an opening and let you guys play in the safety that no money dumping is going on.... are we the lesser of 2 evils?? I would argue that if we are the ones prepared to take the responsibilty of ensuring fair play why shouldnt we take a profit whenever possible? should we turn a blind eye?

we all started in the same positiion. I compared my squad to my brothers who had 2x18 and 1x19 yo that walked into the NT. I by comparison had 1 good youth and the skill was in the older players in my team.. the agents fees now will severly limit DT opportunities so you whiners have got your way.

People are now jumping on the CT/TIE bandwagon... what other variables do you want to tone down... cos if it comes down to skill v skill then every thread in a couple of months is going to read...'Why did I lose this... im so much better'

Everyone new is just trying to forge out an advantage..some have more BB knowledge (i dont have any) some are more financially astute... some have training figured out already....do what you do best and let others do that too....you cant change every rule to the way that suits your style best....!

I would like to say that cheating detection and enforcement is now greatly better than what it was a month or so ago. The TL is not the free for all it use to be.

I agree and Im happy to see this....

that is why i find it amazing people people are picking on DT's but turn a blind eye to duplicate accounts and money dumping.. (although not as obvious as first 2 weeks of November!)

This isn't a bug.

From the News item:

The first change you will notice is that there are now agent fees and taxes associated with a player sale. When you go to sell a player, the fees will be listed. Since the fees decrease the longer you have had a player, the fee shown at the moment you put a player up for auction might be slightly higher than the final fee. You will see that the "Bids" and "Economy" pages immediately reflect prices after taxes. However, for the next three days, you will continue to get full price for players sold. All players whose auctions end at least 72 hours after this news post will have these fees applied.

Also, this...

Oh and what a surprise it is BB-Mark that is bidding on my player.... talk about conspiracy theories.....

...is completely unnecessary.

I'm pleased that you put daytraders on the same level as cheaters. That says enough I think.
