In my opinion lowering team quality ( considering its working ! ) is cheating. If you want to cheat why are you playing this game ?
The system allows you to buy token for buying good players to win cups, so why should it allow you to cheat on this if possible ?
Nordeus wants to make profit with this game which is business wise the only option, so why should they have options for players available to win all cups without spending money, just lowering the team quality ? If people feel so proud of winning all cups with lowering their quality then I think its the wrong game for them.
I like to win but I don't mind losing if someone is better in managing their team and their strategy. Its called competition. I prefer to have shaking hands during the game coz of excitement and a higher blood pressure if losing and later need to think about how make it better or different next game to get it done properly.
I would love to have a league with only strong teams and only active players coz this is why I came here to play, for competition and fun.
I want to compete with the best if possible and see how they do it and how I can improve my team and managing.
As I said, that's only my point of view but I think that is in humans nature, otherwise why do we have Olympics and world champion chips for all kind of sports. Some are always trying to cheat the system but luckily they always find their Master sooner or later.
