It still happens when you manipulate but is alot less frequent and only if a team improves alot or there is a fellow manipulator in your competition. The engine tries to make it more competitive and keep thing close as thats what many players want. Thats why we should be careful what we ask for. I have never seen us benefitting from our many requests for change.
You’re a good manager. Shame for you to quit after you contributed a calculator and helped many players here. I would just manipulate if i were you and take it easy. Just dont bother about the non manipulators trying to discredit you. It wasnt like this when one of the retired moderators Nik used to be around as he used to manipulate as well and very effectively. Now it seems, it is the fault of the players who choose to manipulate instead of looking at the source of the problem. Everyone of us has a choice. Either manipulate or play with bad draws and randomness. If you choose the latter, you should know what to expect and blame yourself as you chose your fate. After all, everyone here is knowledgeable enough to know how it works.
