Plus if you want to talk about them being new users, then why are some new users getting an extra $6M over others cause they joined earlier? As I said, they can't pay for older WT so its just a head start to things like equipment, so its not really fair they getting a substantial amount of money compared to those that join later. Joining in the final regular season week and not doing anything, still nets you double the cash of those that join potentially mere days later.
it will also leave you with less TPE than those that joined earlier, which will result in lower draft picks and leave you in a situation in which it is harder to get a better contract.
You have the upside that you have more money if you join later, which is true. Tho it is NOT unfair, it levels the playing field a bit more as you could potentially buy equipment to catch up TPE wise.
Given that, even that equipment catchup is only temporary as other still can earn money to get that edge back.
The thing about the DSFL and new users is that they should have fun, this results in more engagement in the league and a higher chance that they will stay an active user. To give those users an artificial burden is nonsense and it could even be harmful for the league in general.
This rule will either result in new users having less fun or waiting with creation which will split the classes even further.
In general it should be better for the league to NOT implement the rule and NOT impact users who join a bit late to the party as the DSFL Teams and the ISFL Drafts heavily rely on new users.
We've seen how big classes can be (S22) or how small they can be.
Given the fact that we are currently seeing one of the smallest (if not the smallest?) DSFL class i highly doubt that implementing such a rule is good for the DSFL in any way.
