I mean fuck, everybody here is a grown man/girl, we shouldn't encourage babies (which I look like one atm because i'm complaining that I should get better results, but I think my point is that we shouldn't stop a member from placing TPE if he works hard) because they cannot have result in a sim league. Actually, I do think they will always have result for their TPE amount. A 100 TPE forward will likely get a production of a 100 tpe player. And if he plays with better players, congrats ! He might get more. If the league was filled with tons of 300 tpe defensive defense men, well, I could agree that the production of everyone will likely go down, but now it's just giving a chance to everyone to get their full TPE potential in the league for a short time.
tl;dr Sorry, there is no tl;dr version of that. I think you should read everything to understand my point.
and the league have grown in recent memories and we still had some dominants players in the VHLM. If you really think that the main reason why we are loosing some members is that well, I do think you are wrong. It wouldn't be the first time somebody goes inactive in a sim league and we don't blame his sim performance because of that.
