However you look at it it's a stupid business decision by Nordeus because it will make the people that buy tokens less likely to buy more. I'm one that will not buy more after this because it makes no sense for me to manipulate my quality level just so I can get paired in an easier cup. At least before it went rightly to high level managers because they had at least fought themselves up the league systems... at least if you are on an old server. I might still play the game but it will be in a more casual way and only concentrate on the league and CL. I had wished to some day win the cup but I refuse to destroy my team to do so.

I'm the only level 7 in my pairing and the rest are 8-10s and it annoys me that the risk that some half active player wins it just because his quality was crap at the end of the season and now he/she can just buy a few players for a token or two that is 15 points better than mine.

If they wanted to redo it they should have done it by league levels instead. The old cup system was better though I never stood a chance to win it.
