I remember people from casual and PW saying the same things. Now we have three shell leagues. Adding more leagues is like sending more trains to clear a train wreck.

Clear the train wreck and build modern faster ones to go on the track

You're pretty certain that 32 people are going to create 1760 dots?

So creating a league that will require 1700+ additional players is not a downside?

0

When theres 32 team owners commited to a league.

none of what the OP suggested is on the NGTH

if an agent could buy his own server space for leagues, all it does is take out "crap" dots and teams leaving a more consolidated player base

if an agent was allowed to do his own league, then he'd control who had team invites and how many dots got created. it could be 1760 dots or it could be 325 dots or it could be 32 dots... that would depend on the rules of that league

there's no real difference between a non-boost non-EQ dot and a cpu dot in terms of competition for other teams; in fact, with the recent buffs, the cpu dots would probably be more competitive

you are also making the same old assumption... that an agent would retire an existing dot to create a different dot to play in another league. what is just as likely to happen is the agent would create a 2nd player to play in the alternate league

I understand that 32 owners are committed to a league. My issue is those 32 owners convincing a couple of hundred users to leave the other leagues to build dots for them. I can guarantee you that people are not going to create new dots to remain in their current leagues and play in the new one. They will just retire their dots in reg/cas and use the flex to create the dots for the new leagues.

2 of the 3 main points of the op are on the NGTH list. The other has been brought to a vote and already has it's own thread.

my bad, i didn't know jdub was jesus irl

-Make your own league (cost-prohibitive, too much to manage for what would be too little gotten out of it by other players, and too many loopholes without the normal league system in place)


-Boosting and non-boosting leagues (boosting is part of the game, it's not going to be removed)

Well, you two are stating as fact that your suggestion will not pull users away from the other leagues based on prolly what you and 20 other people said in a PF. I'm basing my opinion on what has actually happened at this site in the past when new league types were added.

Thats not true.If anything going by the agent profiles registered.They added many more players to their profiles and kept their others.
Sure some might have retired to create new dots but they were non-boosters to begin with if they did.
Our league alone drew in 14 teams and over 360 draft propects,not counting the teams that joined our league with already full rosters.
The interest is there with known league projects out there.

So you're saying all those dots will remain in the regular leagues and everyone will create new dots for the new league?

there was only 1 point to the op.

allow agents to buy leagues.

the rest is already happening, with or without GLB admin consent. the other league are already running via the scrimmage system. Thats why there's so much whining about their dots "ruining" GLB and "destroying" the game, and getting "unfair" mvp awards and whatever else

bort said he wasn't going to create new league types at this time, but they've already been created. they already exist. the elephant is already in the room. all of the drawbacks you keep throwing out are already problems.

the point of the OP is to quarantine those problems so that they don't continue to infect the rest of the game.

No that part already happened

wat?

Bort said that about ironman leagues. All this other shit is NGTH.

Draft Propects will be 40 days old come draft day,they were created last offseason to prepare for the league draft
