What changed with the arrival of the associations competition was the reason to play. Now there is a good and golden reason to deliberatley not level up season after season. Why would anyone have done that before associations? To gain resources to create a monster team that would last for 5 or 6 seasons? Ok, but then they'd have to repeat the cycle of tanking for the following 5 or 6 seasons.
I can understand the boredom being suffered by managers at the top of their servers leading them to find a reason to play within associations, but really, repetitive tankers affecting the outcome of tournaments through proving they have the better team, or simply to piss someone off.....is that fair play? Is that the spirit of Top Eleven? Is that what we want?
Another point can be, "why don't merge the tankers"?

So, the system could recognize double season tankers and put them all together, so is like keep some freedom to tank but creating a line between "real competitive teams", those who play for promotion and those who force the tanking.
