If this is his way to bite back at WIS for a subpar hiring logic, then I don't see this as a bad thing. How else is he going to get back at WIS? He's just to grin and bear it just because it's more convenient for the rest of you? How effing selfish are you guys. Get screwed like this guy did, then get back to me, until then, let the man make his stand and deal with it as he sees it to be appropriate. It's funny how high and mighty you all get when something eventually doesn't go your way via another user.
I don't really care what the TOS says, he paid for the seasons, it's his team and as far as I'm concerned, he can do whatever the hell he wants with it. If you're ****** about conference RPI, tough, you should back your peer in his stance against the hiring logic policy instead of turning your back on him.
Colonels, do you not get the fact that these actions are NOT getting back at WIS. Not hurting them at all. Only hurting his conference mates.
If he was doing something that actually hurt WIS and didn't hurt his conference mates, then even though it might still be wrong or a clear violation of the TOS, at least it would be a two-sided issue. This is clear as day -- not only is he wrong, but the only people he's screwing are those in his conference.
Ok, but then how else does he get back at WIS/the game for this happening? I'd love to hear the instead of. Again, your solution just seems to be that he should bend over and continue to take it in the ***, and that just because it didn't happen to you, that he shouldn't have done it. You're being incredibly selfish here...again, step in the man's shoes, and get back to me...
Exactly how does his action "get back at WIS"? Maybe you can explain that to me, because from where I'm sitting, what he's doing has no negative impact on WIS.
Does it cost the company money? No...they've already got his money, and from at least one post he's thinking of adding money to keep doing it. So if anything, not only is he not "getting back at" he's actually going to be financially PROMOTING the behavior that has him flipping out in more flavors than Baskin Robbins has ice cream in the first place.
Is he driving other users away? Doesn't look like it...he might force them out of the conference, but I doubt what he's going to do is likely to prompt anyone to quit the game, so he's not having a ripple effect of knocking other users out of the game. Again, no impact to WIS.
As for real ways he might "get back at WIS"...let's stop and think here...
1. Post to every and any basketball/sim-game forum out there...point out the shortcomings of the hiring logic, recruit generation or whatever other issues he may have. It's not like this is the only game in town. If fresh blood suddenly stops trickling in, people engaged in a profit-driven business tend to start noticing. We already know that most of the traffic to WIS is via word-of-mouth because they don't advertise their products for a darn...if the word-of-mouth reports start sounding sour, that'll have an impact.
2. Organize an on-site protest...evidently there are a few other people here that agree. Organize a walk-out of like-minded folks. Everyone demand refunds and be specific about why. If it creates enough of an impact, folks notice. If it's really the problem he thinks it is, getting other people to join the cause shouldn't be a problem.
3. Boycott all other WIS products (if he's in any)...doesn't make any sense to demand a refund from here if you're just turning around and using that money to get Gridiron or Hardball dynasty seasons instead...they're still getting their money.
I'm sure there are other ways...I've just listed three that crossed my mind in 60 seconds. I bet with the brilliant minds on here there's plenty of other methods that could be employed. It's really not hard to target your actions against the guilty parties rather than behaving like the schoolyard bully who's taking the ball and going home because he's not allowed to pitch.
