Why does it matter? The option for you to do the same thing over there presents itself.
This league is in dire need of more members/activity. The ones who are currently enjoying it and wish for it to excel, should acknowledge that as the priority, rather then focusing on how said members can earn TPE as fair as possible.
While a large portion of the member base as is consists of longtime members and recreates, the only way the league will ever grow is if we prioritize adding new members, rather then retaining old ones. If that means succumbing to the idea of new members not having to do as much work to make a good player, so be it.
First, we need to get the member base to ensure that the league has enough activity to last, then, we can focus on what improves the experience of the current members.
