I see these replies, and no offense they make me chuckle. You do realize that majority of the players are casual players? Players want to build their players put them on a team, and watch the progress. 5 minutes a day, every 2-3 days. Most people don't want to scour forums looking for owner history etc... just to see if the team he/she might join is going to go down the toilet.

You guys are talking about having to be active in the social glb world. That shouldn't be a must. As a casual player, I shouldn't be forced on 8 teams and make a forum post about how its annoying as hell, just to get on a team that might last longer than a season.

You can take my observation or leave it, doesn't matter to me, I am only pointing out a negative that will more than likely cause me to leave this game, and looking at what GLB is now compared to what is was in seasons 1-10 I think it needs as many players as it can get.

My suggestion, because what is a complaint without a solution of some sort? .. Force teams to pay for multiple seasons. If you want to own a team, then make them buy it for 3+ seasons. That won't stop the issue, but it will help.

I would agree with you that I think Team ownership needs to be more exclusive in terms of not allowing owners to buy a team, assemble it, and then lose interest a few months later and disband. At the very least the repeat offenders should have no business in continuing to do this over and over. Leagues should be consolidated so that they are always competitive, not full of crap as many levels are.

Additionally as people pointed out already, this game is really about getting out what you put in. Since you appear to be someone who is just creating two players from what I would assume are the free player slots, and only spending minimal time to check in and focus on your player development, your expectation for results should also be minimal. Since you are not spending any money to play you should also severely lower your expectation as the people who are spending money want no part of half assers when they are trying to win.

A long time ago, I made a suggestion about team ownership

1) You can't sell a team during the season

2) You don't get any flex back when selling a team

3) You can't buy a team, until the season is over (Day 40)

I think the wait list was still active, when I made the suggestion, but it should be brought back.

CPU Team Owner Upgrade:

1. They constantly pm you with admiration of your great player building skilz, thanking you profusely for gracing his team's roster with your exceptional dot.

2. Diligent in managing the depth chart and AI so that your star player gets all the best playing opportunities to insure he gets that MVP trophy he was so wrongly denied by that last human owner.

3. Regularly posts in the leagues forum, singing the praises of your dot, rubbing in the face of all opponents its clear superiority.

4. Never gets demoralized and rage quits for losing even though it had the unquestionable advantages of having your dot on the team thereby accepting full responsibility for the lack of winning.

Im not going to get angry at that statement., but your eyes are deceiving you. I currently have 21k flex points, and have been playing since season 1 day 9. http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=30797 "This account was created afterwards, and had players transfered to this account. I have probably created well over 100 dots in this game. I just got done retiring 2, 2 days ago. This issue that Im talking about is an issue that has lurked here for a long time. This isn't something that just happen. This is an issue that has caused me to step away and pay no mind to this game.

As I said before, someone shouldn't be forced to gobble on the forums just to give their players even a slim chance of being on a somewhat stable team. But hey, you guys are all right, its not like GLB has taken a major nose dive since the first six months it was public.

Well, someone shouldn't invest next to nothing into a game and expect a huge return.

I think we're past the forum thing...get off your ass and research who you're about to sign with. Takes like 2 mins. and also this

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/goallineblitz.com congrats, the game is dying cause the "casual" player is being ignored. Even now, out of the few people left, I wonder how many are buying flex, or how many are just using the remaining flex they have? This game is already dying out, all that is left are the few people that run the majority of teams. There is a small circle of people and without breaking into that small circle, your are all but guaranteed that a player will NOT have an enjoyable experience. That is fine though, Its easy to see you forum dwellers care none for the future of the game, and that your opinion and only yours matters. The owner on the other hand, does care for the casual player. Its the casual player that agrees to those few micro transactions that support this game. You really think your 100 dollars you have given up means anything? That doesn't even come close to covering the server costs for a month, let alone the profit needed since the last I read which was a while ago, Bort made this his primary income. But if you really want to pull dicks out and measure them, and say I have invested nothing into this game, I can probably round up my old paypal, "if it goes back to 08" and show I have invested anywhere from 250-750 dollars on this game. That was way back though in seasons 1-10 when this place was actually alive, and not filled with the small cliche that it is today.


Edit...After curiosity got the best of me, I have spent 670.50 on this game. Who said I didn't invest anything in this game? Remember you all brought up the fact that I didn't invest anything and I use free players, not me. I had no intentions of "pulling out the Im a better donator than most" card, but its clear you guys thought my posts don't matter since I dont "donate"

wat?

We log on every day, most of us run multiple teams, and keep the forums alive yet we're the ones that don't care about the future of the game?

As far as the alleged 670.fiddycent you spent...

I was speaking about your time invested here. You can spend 10k dollars and it won't matter if you're not active nor engaged with what's going on around here.

And if you were up to speed on this game you would be aware that the balance of power tilts greatly in agents favor. Now that every dot gets max XP and equipment is free there really isn't much an owner can do to a dot. However, and agent can still intentionally fuck up his tactics and remove equipment.

Ya apparently you don't, since you think the casual player means absolutely nothing.

Your idea of a casual player and mine differ greatly. I think of a casual player as someone who logs on regularly, hangs out in the forums (whether it be team, league, private, or main), but doesn't own or coordinate.

Apparently, your idea of a casual player is someone that logs on for 30 seconds once a week just to see if his dots are still there.


And you're really embarrassing yourself. You're accusing me and others of not caring about this game when we have bent over backwards to help others, conjure up and promote ideas to help this game, and actually make an attempt at competing within the game itself (which is what most casual users I know care about).

You are one of these people that feels the world owes you something and just wants to pass off the blame to others for your own failures. I encounter people like you every offseason. They will reject an offer from my team and sign with some team with an obscure owner with a mostly CPU roster. At least 20 times a season I find myself thinking "that guy just fucked up signing with that team".

I mean, how bad is it that as an owner with no connection to the situation other than I recruited the dot that I know more about that user's player and the team he/she just signed with than they do? Especially given the fact I gave the team a cursory glance for every bit of 3 seconds before realizing the team was going to be terrible.

You are confusing casual user with stupid, lazy user.

lol this fucking thread
