Whats happening to the Top Eleven think-tank / admins?

[woopypooky]

Honestly, don't you think is to much to stay near 7 to 8 or 8 stars without buying tokens? 8 stars is a super class team already, something that should be achieved only by playing with money, otherwise we would go to that situation when token buyer or not, won't make any difference at all and people would realize that and stop buying tokens which in the end won't be good for any of us.

As non tokens buyers our average should be 5 to 6 stars, I think is fair, that's how game is designed, not to be 7,8 stars all the time but Top Eleven have their fault as well because yea, they gave us free black caviar for to long.

8 star is a super class team like you say but the way competitions draw are designed, it makes no difference to performance as the game will pit you against other 8 star team. Btw, what you said is correct but there is one core issue still exist 'token buyer or not, won't make any difference at all'. With or without ads, token buyer also wont make any difference at all.

If the games took away all the ads, i guess not much would want to spent tokens either.

Who want to spend couple hundred bucks this season and next season all his opponents are same quality as him? Worse still, cup opponents are higher level and you spent 80 token to get 119Q player while they spent 1 token to get 119Q player.

Most people nowadays are watching ads to prolong their player career, also to maintain their quality at scout level, by using the free greens (which developer earned a tiny bit) because knowing that higher level opponent just need to spent 1 token on a scout player.

Totally agree with topicstater.
Playing this game for about a year or so - but this season is the first season i decided to tank. I ve got a strong team , never tanked, always finished 1st place in the league , got 5 or 6 wins in the Cup,playing against +1 level teams, the same thing i can say about championship league.
And yes, i am donating , oh sorry, was donating some money - 25-30 bucks per month +- to buy scout players (79 tokens each), and others (39-69 tokens each). But enough is enough.
All of you got the strategy how to make your team good and strong - how to move forward ,step by step,little by little with this 20% decrease of quality every new season.
I ve had the strategy and it was based on free greens - when i started to play top11 it was 40 greens per day for free, then it became 35, not long ago the amount of greens reduced to 30. Now its 25 (for me its 20-22 a day, Russian federation,Moscow). Yeah, we need to adjust our strategy, we need to find the way. But comeon, in a few month they will set the limit to 20? And then to 15.

I ve raised my team quality from 60% the first season to about 130% on day 3-5 of the new one. The last season i finished with 135% and it was a record for me. The goal was 140% but with 20 free greens its almost impossible without tanking or spending a tonn of money. Yeah , i can spend 100 bucks each month to stay the same quality, i can spend more but there is no way iam gonna do it. Its just a game, and it was good.

So this season iam tanking - with no purpose to tell you the truth.
Iam not watching videos on daily basis
Not developing my stadium and so on

Cos i cant see the way to be as strong as i am now and i dont want to be a 100%+ team -cos i was near 140%
They ruined all the joy that i was getting out of this game with their strange moves. Their choise. My choise is to quit and i will do it in a month or so. Ah, and of course i wont spend a penny from now on cos it doesent make sense at all. You just cant change strategy every 2-3 month - ghe world is changing but not that quick)

Can't explain better

Seriously, saying that you can't get a good team without investing money and free videos is total BS to be honest. I have a 6 star team with my second account. Can't watch videos, don't invest money and win the league almost every season, won 4 trebles now and have 500 tokens to spare. Smart managing will get you far. You just got lazy when you invested that much money. You have the "lost" feeling. It is never going to be as good as it was when you invested money.

Forget that period and focus on the now. You can get 18 videos a day. Ok, that is it. You can still have easily a 6-7 star team with all special abilities. Think outside the box, adjust and man up.

Load of crap. Your only way is tanking.

Load of crap. I've tanked for seasons now and I still can't beat a lot of teams worse than me.
I performed much better when I was 5* or 6*, and still I didn't spend a single coin.

So whatever makes this engine work, does not entirely rely on quality. Though I agree that you can still get awesome results by playing for "free".

@North: Explain to me why it is a load of crap? My second team is level 25. Never tanked a season. Always scouted the transfer market for those nordgens or 18 yr old fast trainers. Never spend to many tokens on a player and always had a 6 star team (.5 or ..0 players and up but hey 6 stars). Right now in the bank I have 505 tokens (and I just bought a 79 token youth) and about 300 greens.

My first team I have never tanked but I bought about 150 tokens there as tokens were a lot harder to get by at start and I went into crazy bidding wars. Never tanked a season and also there I have a team of 6 stars and all special abilities although I am now experimenting a little more with players without SA. Still 300 tokens in the bank and I have 800 greens there and I haven't watched a lot of videos lately. 6 months back I had something like 1400 greens after watching a lot.
