Give us our TPE back you Blue Team thieves!

I assume you know this but it's 12% of the listed attribute numbers. Spending some amount to get to a 90 will get you depreciated by 12% of 90, which is about 50 as it rolls back to 80.

I think there are issues with depreciation but that itself isn't my issue with it. I think it's fair that higher earners who upgrade their players more also get taxed more when the time comes, because otherwise they'd just get to spend their last seasons widening the gap.

My main issue is with why exactly that 12% exists and how to get to it--you can avoid it entirely by just...not coming up to the VHL for a season. As a development league commissioner, this is something that infuriates me because I think the last thing we should ever be doing is giving any player a reason to not develop. And I get that it remains a personal choice whether someone comes up or not, but I think we'll see quite a few players making that personal choice a certain way because of what will happen to their player if they don't. I still take this as a reason why we should move to slowly phasing out the E, but until the other leagues have the space to take it on I won't be making a proposal out of it.
