Hmmm, funny how every team that doesn't want a restructure has an average level of like 45 in A.

No way Bort. The time for this has passed already. Had better communication been used in your initial announcement my team wouldnt have released its high level over the 32 cap players. Had better communication been used and this been done in the first place i wouldnt have released my entire team to be replaced by HIGH level players then placed those low level players back in BBB on my kids team. Where they could play 5 levels below the suggested levels instead of 20.
Its pretty obvious that you dont have much prior experience in MMO's so i'm going to give you an idea that will save you ALOT of the headaches you get with everything you do ok? Please pay attention
Why not look at each season and an expansion to the game like WOW, LOTRO, ETC do. Get a season ahead on your releases and release upcoming expansions/publishes at the very beginning of a new season. Make it very detailed so theres no misconceptions by the public. Of course before the release of that announcement make sure the changes are something that can be done properly before the release because you dont need emergency fixes during the season.
Your problem is that you try to make everyone happy. Your working WAY too hard at it. You need to separate yourself some from the public and pretty much say "these are the changes, you have a season to prepare and if you fail to its your problem because i am here now telling you what is going to happen" Then relieve yourself of the headache and prepare for the next seasons.
Your starting to release too much too fast too. The casual player wont ever be able to keep up with everything and are probably already overwhelmed. You cant patch one problem with another. Doesnt work.

Come on Bort. Lets shuffle the EE A. I hate having our full team from last season now have to face level 35's cause we dont want to replace every player on our team.
We are a TEAM, not a mercenaries for hire home.

Maybe there should be a reshuffle ... if a strong team like the Wolfpack is able to defeat most of their counterparts last season in A, finish 2nd in conference, and end up staying in the conference while the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 7th place team moves up, maybe a shuffle is needed to allow them to compete against teams that will consistently challenge them all season long.
Got to give some props here to the Wolfpack on their success from last season.

Yeah, I was surprised we weren't moved up but the blues beat us just as they did CY at about the same score. And as long as the shuffle happens the way Bort explained it to JcJ and I last night, I'm not against it.
And I may have a problem with most of the folks on CY (as most probably know here) but Steel is one I've never had problems or issues with.

If the shuffle can produce parity, then I am for it. But I do want some more specifics on how it is going to be done before I agree to it. Our league, EEA6, is fairly balanced as it is. If you do the reshuffle, can you give us the psuedo code you are going to use. What is your exact formula for determining median level? How are you going to determine the groupings of teams when there isn't a perfect number, say only 20 teams of a like level? Are they going to be grouped with higher or lower level teams. Also, is there going to be any effort to keep teams of the same level, from the same league, together?
My team was full of lvl 21-24 players. I have since signed one lvl35 DE and one lvl25 WR. What does that make my level now? I want parity, but I have a feeling that the reshuffle will leave us in a worse situation than we currently have in EEA6.

If that feeling is correct, we'll be in the same boat as we signed a level 28 QB and level 28 punter already (but those are the only moves we are making).
EEA6 should be level range 21 to 28 pre boost there are a lot of teams in there already that fit this level range but a few bad apples signing level 40's are ruining the league.
Soviet signed 1 level 30 because he was an agent on the team already and wanted to bring him in. Other then that our range is from 20-28. We kept the same players as last season minus like 15 of them who were non boosters.

I liek the idea of the reshuffle but I'm against it for this season. Give us a detailed explantion for how its going to work and some time to plan for it and I'm all for it. Maybe doing it in season 10 would be best.
