BowesFC 1,162 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Official Gold Championships Discussions Thread The fact you said you were willing/open to deals' date=' then say you're reluctant to trade as a United fan.

Phil (GT) 9,208 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Official Gold Championships Discussions Thread United looking to do deals in 147 Really? From my experience, this sentence can be interpreted in 2 ways. a) I'm extremely bored and all I want are some new club messages. I actually don't want to sell anyone but I hope some idiot comes along who makes a ridiculous offer. Usually everyone who is at least slightly interested in a fair deal states what he's looking for (depth, youngsters, high-rated players) and/or who he's looking to sell.

Certainly not the tuition fees increase because it doesn't apply to me!). Besides, it's £3. When I go to the pub on Friday, I'll just have ten pints instead of twelve.

I bet the guys who've reserved sides in Croatia, lower league Scotland or the full English Conference will enjoy their time there far more than some of those at the big clubs. In EC7345 I reserved 4th division Chesterfield. I knew a lot of forumers I like would be joining so I'd enjoy the challenge but I also feel a personal attachment to Chesterfield so I paid £3 for them. I reckon I'm enjoying them far more than Mr A in GCX with Barcelona who makes no deals with human managers and purely accumulates cash to pinch the best players off unmanaged sides... EDIT: Hammer's back Blackburn in 147, Udinese 73, Newcastle 100, Everton 111, Werder 89 and a few ECs. I'd recommend you not to deal with him and I'd report him but my club list is refusing to load Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's why cars have different prices, houses have different prices, etc depending on the quality you get. Not makes sense pay 5€ for a team of squad value of 300k and play the same of a 300M.. Enjoy is subjective. What you can enjoy, i can't and the opposite is also true. But isn't subjective the squad values and basing on it, the prices you pay shouldn't be equal.

I will arguably enjoy my challenge at Albion Rovers a lot more than the "challenge" that Barcelona and Real Madrid might possess - regardless of the difference in quality between the two team's squads/budget/stadium etc. The fact that I could have waited until the set-ups creation before taking my team makes my point rather null and void, but perhaps I just experienced a rush of blood to the head!

You're assuming people get more out of the teams that start with higher values. I can point to thousands of examples where people enjoy improving a small club more than taking a giant to start off with. That won't happen in a million years! If this does get introduced (and I suspect it will at some point) then the standard price will still be £3 with big teams bumped up to maybe £5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I not discuss what the majority like or would like' date=' as the human being is very strange and can turn the possible to impossible and vice versa. I am only speaking about the fact that the ratio, price you pay for a team vs what you can get for the money you waste, is unfair. I have no doubt, if you see an empty GC and if you had all the time to chose a team, you wouldn't waste your 3£ in a Bradford City, but in a Man City, Barcelona, etc. And why? Because your money will be better spent in that big team considering the ratio i mentioned before. Sometimes i look into the available clubs in new GC's and i think. I will not waste 5€ in a Sampdoria.. if it would be 3€.. a more fair price considering the benefit i would get. But 5€ is too high for their value. And as i not have money to [i']crash[/i].. I think you are going to the subjective way(enjoyment) while i am going to the objective way(ratio money spent: team you get) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
