just gonna address a few things in a carpet statement here then:
@Memento Mori and @Billybolo53 i guess ive never seen this kind of predictions engagement before? everyone i know or talk to its a chore, and makes it a bit harder for casual members since now you HAVE to be logging into the site and checking regularly. Even for non-casual members like I was as the commish it can be hard to set aside time to log in to the site every day. Maybe this is a new thing? I only bring it up because in my time with the league ive only seen a minute amount of people actually give effort with predictions, and even then ive never heard them say they find it fun. The vast majority of people i talk to either just copy someone else's predictions or are like me and just look at the teams and say "yolo". Maybe thats changed? just certainly hasnt been my past experience with not just me but others, and I havent seen any predictions discussion or excitement in the two locker rooms im in right now.
Billybolo again, I like the trivia because I think the history is interesting. Obviously as an old timer i love getting reminded of what happened in the past (usually hehe). But also I just dont see the issue with Trivia being a "glorified activity check." isnt that somewhat the point? on top of that, isnt weekly predictions just 3 separate "glorified activity checks"? I'm not against predictions to be clear, just prefer Trivia over predictions. But I just dont know why its a big deal if trivia is easy. Isnt this just a hobby? It always confuses me that a lot of people want to make money earning easier because this is just a hobby, even though its already so easy and broken that we've had multiple attempts to fix the money system this year, let alone our entire history, but then people see an easy PT to do and they want it removed. It just is confusing to me.
@goodfortunecoffee I could just be fear mongering here, I know I took this stance before and turned out to be wrong, but the issue with increasing TPE used to be just that we dont have enough TPE to spend things on, which is just a limitation of our sim. I know multiple max earners had told me before they get tired of earning because at some point it just doesnt matter any more, even ask around the league and many people will give you examples of high TPE not mattering, not even with max earners, with 700-800 TPE guys as well. I think the concern of adding too much TPE is just that outside of QB and CB, many players dont need very high TPE levels to max out their player in useful primary stats, like 400-600 i believe (someone can correct me if im wrong). I believe a majority of our league, not just max guys, reach those levels, so flooding the TPE market can be a risk since then you get to the point where like half the league or more is sitting there earning TPE with nothing to do but put it into like, kick power or throwing accuracy.
