The point of Q & A is asking questions about the game and development of the game to get answers from Bort. If a question about why he won't implement a very popular and much needed time saver for those that financially support this game isn't allowed then that just feels like a snub and that just sucks. Also we pay to be entertained and I know that another popular concept is some changes to how player salaries should be used. Not a time saver for agents, but none-the-less, a popular idea and would help to renew interest in the player building aspect which is the main theme of this football sim game.

There could be a very good reason he/they can't. I don't think it has anything to do with not wanting to do it and more to do with can't do it. Catch said as much at the end of his post and that Bort will address it in the next Q&A.


As a customer, I really don't care that deep.
It's just like some goods can't fit your request, and you won't buy it. Just that simple, though.

Except the question comes across like this "why don't you implement my suggestion?" The QnA is more about the game interactions than Bort taking the time to respond to everyones suggestions. And just because a suggestion is popular doesn't mean it makes sense from their business perspective or really even from the games perspective overall.

Also I think you are overplaying popularity here. There isn't a suggestion within the first 10+ pages that is 100 posts long. Mostly a lot of the same agents speaking over and over again.

Finally, throwing around that you are financially supporting this game is such a weak argument and I lol every time I see someone use it.

I understand what you are saying bhall in many aspects, but there is a suggestion thread right now asking for a suggestions mod to work in the capacity as a mediator that would be very helpful in this aspect of limiting wasting Borts time in a Q & A imo.

I don't think I am over-playing popularity, as I am not saying that popular = long thread. Popular to me means many agents voicing the need, especially in time saving suggestions to player building when someone has many players.

It isn't the point of the argument that I am throwing around financially supporting agents are the only one's that matter, the point is that the game should consider the weight of the income the game generates and if they can help agents or I should say find ways to encourage agents to spend more money to generate income, that it won't be a time vacuum and there are functions in place that benefit both sides, (The Game's revenue and the player base) it is a very worth while discussion that needs to be addressed for the players to balance out if the time needed to spend more money is actually worth it.

The mediator would be working in the exact same capacity that we do right now. They wouldn't have any immediate relay to Bort. They would have to go through Catch22. Slapping a fancy title onto someone isn't going to change that interaction. Catch just gave a run down of the criteria for suggestions. It has been posted in a number of places now, most notably the top of the suggestions board.

Popular =/= long thread but it does = 10 or so agents voicing a need? Again I think you over-play popularity. Not to say time saving suggestions aren't a great thing for GLB. They are. I personally don't believe many of them are the game changers people make them out to be though. They are more luxury than needs.

I advise you to reread your final paragraph when you see people post about GLB putting most of their efforts towards getting some new games out when weighing between that and many of the popular suggestions on the suggestions board.

Yeah I have read the sticky in suggestions.

We could use a few luxuries around here.

Thanks for your input bhall. Hope you continue working hard for the bird in the hand and not the two in a bush.

Considering the bird in the hand is worth the 2 birds in the bush wouldn't that be ideal for him to work harder for the bird in the hand? Less work, same output.

This would make sense if I had anything to lose. Which I don't.

Correct you don't have anything to lose, but your actions do affect others who do have something to lose.
