They left aside the injury red pack drain, but they got a new one a lot more efficient.
I'll tell you what they did. They've been merging servers.
In the past, you'd get to see a set of players listed on auction. Many times other managers would get another list, different from yours, even in the same server and level. Nordeus justified this as a means to prevent collusion.
In fact, they did this to narrow down groups of managers into small market chunks so that we got into bidding wars, spending tokens aplenty.
Now they are merging server markets. You'll see people from other servers vying for one auction. Almost impossible to get a player for less than 10 tokens.
It's been a week now and after 60 tokens and many auctions lost, I finally got one player. Isn't it great?
