. . . "e)*** the most important***; as a new player it has to be so frustrating to get demolished by guys in open leagues with 10/20/30+ league championships. i'm not saying people should get 100+ wins their first go around, but imaging dropping a few bucks on a new game only to not really understand how WIS works (did you read the forums in your first seasons?) and finish 42-120? . " . .
. . . "this does not create a player who will want to come back and play again, and creates players that abandon their team part way through the year and then the competitive balance is skewed for all." . .
. . . "a place to be challenged, and not frustrated, by expert clone teams" . .
. . . "for the experts, i'm sure its fun beating up on newbies, and using the same players time in and time out to buffer your credits, but for the overall health of the platform, WIS needs new players, and to keep them encouraged and engaged" . .
ME : How many 'likes' are allowed by a single paying member for a single post ? Dang shame if it's only 1. Oh, wait; need to save a future thumbs down for the inevitable "hey loser(s)/whiner(s); if you don't like it and can't/don't want to join them, then build a better mousetrap".
Well, we're trying. It might not be your version, but we're trying. Thank goodness for new leads in place who at least for now claim to want to hear about such things to possibly affect future necessary needed change.
I found WIS SLB, much like a simultaneous infusion of newbs at the same time, around the beginning of and unfortunately still ongoing global slowdown/shutdown. Intrigued by something new and a different kind of challenge, although far from real-life realistic or accurate but even that was semi-ok once I viewed it more as a math problem to solve with the bonus of MLB player names attached, I persevered after taking some early lumps. I'm sure this isn't an original scenario. But probly neither so is that in my initial honeymoon period I invited 4 very highly successful competitive acquaintances from another old-timer SIM, all without asking for referral credits. 3 quickly fell off, and the 4th has cutback on number of simultaneous teams, currently 1 and possibly done thereafter as well. Is this the price WIS is willing to pay to appease their probly more bottom line profitable 1-trick pony copycat cookie-cutter owners ?
Answer ? Bringing back and maintaining a better version of dynamic pricing will make this a more healthy and better experience for many. That thread, initiated by admin, is recent enough that this reply and Rock_Harders relevant offering should be retweeted there.
