Warrior General Games

I noticed there is a good amount of level differences between a few teams in this league. I thought this was being worked on this season or am I wrong?

Like the team we are going up against has 7 people at lvl 19 and over starting. 4 of them are 20+.

Because some teams boosted and some didn't.

But they already lost so it's possible. And a good gameplan can own a high level team. Just plan it well.

And if you're talking about the median thing, it will only be active next offseason and it won't be really good for this situation. It will give a penalty to players 8 lvl higher to the median of the league, which is around 13 if I'm not mistaken. The penalty will be in XP gain.

But there is an allowance for 2-3 players. Bort said if there were multiple players they would see a hit. Not only 1 or 2 or possibly 3.

There's no allowance. You're talking about the sportsmanship. Because a player will have a sportmanship rating. If it's really low, the maximum lvl difference for this player will be lower than 8. If the sportsmanship rating is high, the maximum lvlv difference will be higher than 8.

The see what's increase or decrease de sportsmanship rating, see the Bort's thread in announcement.

I'll go with what the admin told me.

from what I have read xnahog is right, but at this point it is not in effect anyway.

Sorry, I looked again and I don't found the thread anymore. There was an Annoucement from Bort and a Median LVL in GLB forum. But looks like they have changed idea or something.

Well, maybe I'm crazy.

I wouldn't worry about it to much. If and when they put it into effect. I'm sure they will make and announcement on the homepage.

I knew I was not crazy

FYI: Something with an XP modifier for players playing below their level WILL be implemented soon, in all leagues below Pro level. There will not be a bonus for being below the median level; just a penalty for being way too high leveled for your competition. This is an effect applied to each individual player, not a team as a whole.


And I'm also pretty sure Bort is an admin so I'll also go with what the Admin said.

So what does that have to do with what I said? He also said that he would allow 2-3 players before they started taking hits. It's there to keep teams from being gutted and sending them in a lower league to whip up on everyone. That's not the case with us. Just a ton of time recruiting good players.

It will affect recruiting. If you recruit a player 8 or mroe levle more than the median, he'll get a XP penalty.

only if they join a team that already has 2 or three players that high above the average already. It's in there Jack.

There's no allowance.

So back to the premise. You're wrong.

I think the point is sort of moot. The guys that are doing this don't care about an XP penalty. Generally the high level players belong to the owner of the team, and he just wants to win. I doubt you'll see much of a problem at our level. The issue is going to be in the higher lvl leagues. The way to fix the problem is to make team chemistry count. Then make the chemistry hit be proportional to the lvl player you bring in. Or they could simply lvl cap the leagues.

Since I do think they will have an allowance of a couple of high level players per team I don't think the rule will have much impact on the vast majority of teams for the next season or two. It sounds like Bort is mostly going after a relatively small group of owners that moved large (4+) numbers level 22 or higher players to a low level team. I don't think he minds teams getting 2 or 3 "star" players for right now. Personally I think there will be some more controls added later on so you don't see players in their 10th season going to low level leagues since as I understand at season 10 players stop progressing so the exp penalty would not deter them at all.
