i understand game developers are in this for money, but if they are going to allow people to buy tokens , they should put token buyers together in other leagues and cup competitions away from the rest of us so they can hit each other in the pocket and stop thinking they are clever by beating our lower level teams.

as michael says, it takes fun out of the game when we have to play against these token buyers /farmers or whatever they choose to call themselves. to me its just the same as drug cheats in any sport. it is using money to get an advantage over others, and the playing field is not a level one. put coiners in a league with other coiners and let the rest of us have a fair chance

so in answer to the original question, i'd say, put the coiners into their own league and have no limit on what they want to waste on a game. put the rest of us in a league with no option to buy tokens. not that i can see it happening, but no reason why that could not be arranged. players would just need to register their team at the beginning of the season as a token buying team or non token buying, then the limits would be set. if they want to change later at the end of the season, why not.
Sorry, but that's spectacularly unfair.

1) Who are you to judge how these people spend their hard-earned money? It's not for me, either, but that doesn't make it wrong for others. I farm my tokens, so spend time rather than real cash, so is that wrong, too? I think not. It's how I choose to spend my time.

2) Why would Nordeus split token buyers from everyone else? Aside from the extra work, why would people buy tokens just to have the same level team as everyone they come up against? The point is to have better players than your opponents. Besides, who do you think they will listen to/favour...people who spend money or people who don't?

3) Is it the same as drug cheating, I ask? Given that drug cheating is illegal, so probably comparable to hacking, I think not. If you have to win to enjoy the game, then you are missing the point of it a little. There are ways to beat token-earners, you just have to spend a bit of time learning about formations and how the game works. It took me 7-8 seasons, I suspect, to learn all the basics and get myself a good knowledge of counter-formations/tactics and the like. I lost a lot in that time, but each defeat taught me something. And I'm only in season 13, so am still learning plenty every season.

Understand that this is a game that is intended to generate revenue for the developers. If it stops doing that, it will cease to exist.
