Quote:It will hopefully stop the stupid selling of teams when people feel that they are not going to make a "title" and would rather exchange that for cash.Just a nitpick - teams that sell points do so in two methods:
1) They swap in a player for 3 games a week, take 3 losses, and then spend the other 7 games making up the rating they lost.
2) They build up a team in an afternoon and then sell it wholesale.
Currently, team ratings just don't mean much. There are plenty of players who build teams and sell them for cash, or sell spots. The only ratings that *really* count are the ones at the end of the season; namely, the last two or three weeks. That is when the point selling stops and serious teams are formed to make runs at a title. And of course, all the shenanigans start with win trading and other dirty techniques. :)
Serious arena players got their full set of S3 gear a long time ago, plus additional gear for offspec use. There's nothing for them to do BUT sell points or else just screw around until the final stretch approaches. The seasons are too long, and that's a problem that leads to these other problems.
