Flexible Salary Minimum

[tlk742]

i mean, in the end its up to them. they're taking mins cuz they want to be here. you gotta take it into perpective too. we signed 4 players to a min contract this year. 1 was me, the GM, im always gonna take min. 1 was Jayce Tuck, who has 46M in the bank. the other was an S1 who at the time was under 200 TPE. the other was Dental Dam, who i guess could have gotten more but he asked for it so hey. So i mean, thats not quite a rampant problem. as a GM i always take min, Jayce Tuck has no need for money, and Asipi is great but not the greatest TPE earner exactly. in context, its not huge.

how to "solve" it, i already said. allow scaling up mid contract. That way things like me signing Asipi for 500K for 3 years just one week before he passes into the next tier, happens. would be much more effective than just raising the minimums, especially to a whopping 10M? teams are gonna have 10 guys lol

You're absolutely right that people are taking mins to be there, and that's ok. I also think you're right that we're still early in the stages of contracts and TPE.

But this has always been my issue with the contract, unless you're AC Hackett, the incentive for super active players to take above minimum is minimal. The way money works, it's actually counter-intuitive for contract. I'm sure you right that parity will be reach as we continue, but this is my worry, whether it's for the short term, there is a strong correlation between active locker rooms and successful teams wins. This is me speaking as someone who has been in the Wraiths and the Sabercats, the future of the team may be hurting as the team fails to succeed and thus new players may drop out so that by the time we do hit 1k TPE, we're looking at a 4 team - 4 corpse league. We need, at the very least, a short term fix.
