This isn't real life. A good internet game means understanding what drives people to keep playing and what causes users to leave.
Increasing population is a poor argument in favor of making the game stupider and easier to manipulate.
Not that poor of an argument. Businesses like to make money. When they don't, they close up shop. Those who enjoy HD won't have HD if that happens.
It’s pretty poor. In fact, IMO it’s the dumbest point of contention on these threads since beta started, especially as regards EEs. In the worlds I play in, all the big 6 conference average 9-10 human coaches, which is right in the sweet spot. The short period of time following beta where you had lots of those conferences with 5 or fewer, because of attrition at the top, was a product of WIS’s failure to fix jobs as part of the release. They have eventually filled to what I think is probably close to optimal capacity.
In other words, there are plenty of coaches willing to deal with the EE/recruiting system as it is. People are still taking big 6 jobs. The people we’ve lost are, for the most, guys who were used to a system where they could game their way to success in perpetuity, and I’m not obligated to care about the kind of game those folks would prefer to play.
