(not directed at you thon...)
And before you say this is a rant...these are opinions based on observations and experiences.
I am caring less and less now. I am not spending any more money on this game. Nordeus has had enough of my money.
I dont think that winning a game of fantasy football is worth spending money on when there is no material return. I would rather spend $100 on betting on horses because at least I have a chance to make some money on it.
The problem is this: It becomes a race to spend money to keep up with the Jones. I cant afford to spend $100/month let alone $500 which would put me on par with a great team that would give me a chance to win everything.
"So dont spend so much, many managers win without spending." Yes, but it is getting rare and it depends on your server and league. It will soon be that there are more HAVES than HAVE NOTS.
"get your best players at auctions for 1-5 Tokens if you do it at the right time of night, when the moon is full, on fridays when the day is an odd number and the time is the same as when Obama takes a dump." Sure, again, it depends on the server you are on and if you at the high end (?what the ****?). Utter crap. It comes down to luck and server. AND hoping no token buyer wants what you want.
Now Halo, I bought the Gold membership because I ****ing love that game. A real game. One that I can play for hours and hours and have actual fun. A game where there is no ****ing stupid game engine that gives random results based on voodoo. A game that is not driven to suck out all your money and your blood with it. I LOVE HALO and I moved to Spain and now my **** is worthless here. Gotta buy all new games etc. All this to say that there are things, much better things, that I would rather spend my money on.
"but this is better than dropping $100 at a bar getting wasted with pals and gals." - said by the nerd with no girlfriend/wife. Granted, there are people with money to waste that see nothing wrong with wasting it on this game, good for them. Seriously...good for them. Go spend the $100 on Football Manager instead....time well wasted.
I started this last night and now, this morning, I forgot where I was going with this other than to say that Nordeus needs to find the line between screwing people out of tokens/money and providing a fair game. AND it STARTS with fixing the level of injuries and duration. It is getting absurd. SERIOUSLY.
