Titolo: e intanto il coach australiano...

Letta in conference Global stasera:
(7598392.125)
as promised...
the nt-sytem is unfair. why? as it's nothing but luck to pull a
prospective player in the beginning of any given season and get plenty
of money for it. it has nothing to do with abilities, neither with
hard work or knowledge of the game. it's just pure luck. i guess we
can agree on that, right?
but okay, luck is part of the game and most of us benefit from it form
time to time. wheter it's luck with the game engine, or with the
weather... still those are just minor odds.
with the youth-players it's different. first of all, the rewards on
the market are ridiculously high. and not only for just a couple of
really skilled players, but for quite a lot of youth-players. why? as
they buyers believe in the chances to get them to the team. this fact
has strong implications on the market in general. but more than that.
the venders benefit form windfall gains. that's unfair, as they get an
unjust advantge over their league-opponents.
they buyers, who had the luck to bring their players to the team
benefit twice. first the players gain way more experience than any
other player. plus, part of the wage is paid by the teams. which puts
them into an advantagous position.
conclusion:
pulling a more or less skilled, but young youth-player in the first
two weeks of a season provides windfall gains for the venders. pulling
an even better player, but let's say in week 5, gets you still a nice
rendite, but way smaller than a few weeks earlier. why? merely because
there is a feature called "u20-team". it harms the market and above
all a fair competition in the leagues.
the experience gains plus the wage-benefits are another unjust
advantage. they do harm a fair competition too.
a way out of this dilemma would be, to abolish the u20-teams. no more
windfall gains for 1st and 2nd wekk 17y-youth-pulls. no more
experience and wage benefits for the younger players. it would be a
way to a much fairer competition. one could leave the nationalteams
untouched...
but:
additionally, the nt-system provides patriotic feelings. nothing wrong
with that. but quite a lot (i'm not stating the majority, but at least
a loud and strong minority) overact on that which leads to exaggerated
patriotism. history thought us, that it's just a tiny step from that
point to nationalistic feelings and i guess some already reside in
that narrow-minded corner. this is a more philosophical issue with
basically no implications on the game. but it harms the fun of some
managers or at least the fun of reading the conferences, if
exaggerated patriotism and stubborn nationalism is part of the
discussions in the conferences. above all, i don't think, an
international game, as hattrick is, should provide features that are
qualified to evoke narrow-minded feelings.
so i guess, for a vast majority of the users the nt's are of no
importance. for the others, i state that for most of them the system
is more a pain in the ass, than a fun-feature. it's just a few who
have fun with it and even fewer who benefit from it.
so i ask the question again:
is it okay, that a few users have their fun on the expense of a
majoritiy of others?
