Shoe doesn't get that the "vets" saying the all the players in the same pool is stupid are the ones already dominating D3. They get it, understand the system, take advantage of its brokenness, and feed off the noobs. So when THEY say its broken, it probably is. Because guess what? Those guys like ONLY are making more money of this broken system now than they ever did.
The vets saying the system is broken are guys who mainly play in higher divisions, complaining about lower division teams locking up players they want to consider backups.
But while you’re in story mode, tell us that story about the time when new players used to be able to compete with veteran D3 teams on equal footing? And tell us again how forcing newcomers to directly compete with veterans for the best recruits in a limited pool is actually going to *benefit the newcomer*.
The problem isn’t that new players are intimidated by those big scary overall team ratings. The problem is that the game doesn’t do a good job of letting them know their options, so unless they read the forums and/or get a mentor, they don’t know how to do it. That can (and should) be fixed without whacking game economics.
ETA - and I pity the new folks who do venture to the forums, with drivel like this topic constantly blaring at them.
