This may be a foolish question, but for some reason I just now was wondering:

Dots with real high speed use more Stamina, but does the EQ factor into that Stamina use if a dot has his EQ in Speed?

That is a pretty good question and all I can imagine is that the answer is yes. Since the EQ factors into the attribute that it is applied to then it would only make sense that it factors into energy use, too. If not, then it would be pointless equipping it.

I always assumed it did, just for some reason wondered if it was for sure the case. I cant remember it ever being confirmed

I think this may be a flawed assumption. Any dot running at near 100% of their full speed expends high energy. I bet strength plays a bigger part than speed.
And Eq. points should count somewhere... sometime.....

Here is my question. I think (but I can't be sure) I read somewhere that Height and Weight factor into the dot other than bonuses and penalties to the initial build. Is this true? If it is, would a HB weighing 210 lbs with 61 stamina burn more energy than a HB weighing 180 lbs with 61 stamina?

I "think" so. Reason? It seems that offensive linemen and defensive linemen tire faster than the other smaller and speedier positions. Now, granted, those big guys are shovin and pushin and blockin each other... which should effect their energy more than just running down the field... but where I see the difference is on ST's. There, the "running" and the "blocking" is pretty even among the different builds. And it's there I see the difference. Those big guys (even my STOP centers... who are just under 300 pounds) that are built for speed and all that get tired faster than a smaller build with similar skills sets and stamina.

how can a question this fundamental still be such a ?

part of the problem with glb is that some of the "unknown" variables are "known" to certain people and you better believe many, if not all, of those things were passed along to regular everyday players, giving them an enormous advantage

Every player has access to the information, so I don't really see anyone having an enormous advantage over the next guy. It boils down to digging through all the trash threads of "GLB Sucks" and "GLB's Dead" that makes finding that information difficult. So, we rely on other agents to supply even the simplest forms of information to help us out from time to time. So, as fundamental as it sounds- even us more experienced agents need a refresher course every now and then.
