This seems more plausible, but people exploit flaws to gain advantages in many other games; it is the job of the game company to make sure things stay as fair as possible.
People have to see it in more neutral way too. Some users here (those that are on the forum) have been exploiting the flaws of the game, creating unfair situations since a long time. One example is significant team quality manipulation in an attempt to be put against weaker teams, especially for the Cup. There have been even guides on this practice on the forum itself. This is no different to those bad practices in associations. Some went as far as keeping half a team of 7-8 stars players and another half of a team of 1-2 star players. I was among those here that was against that because this sort of practice is unfair when there are 'clean' active teams in those same competitions as those draw manipulators. Those people that manipulated the draws won't see it that same way or they will see it but will not admit it. People just want to win and some will use whatever methods, even if that goes against moral standards or if they are non-sportsmanship; this thing is in the nature of human being itself, and so, it is understandable.
