I am kind of torn on your suggestion personally. I do think it would be ok but at the same time it does hinder the free market and I hate punishing successful teams.

It wouldn't punish anyone, Successful teams are stilll going to have the advantage of BEING successful and people joining because of that. But it's also going to help teams just starting out, being able to compete in the open market.

Ok this is getting ridiculous. After days of recruiting and thousands of ass-kissing pm's, I finally landed a player to help us out. To offset the cash I had to throw out for the deal, I went ahead with another trade which opened up a roster spot for the new guy. I log in to check on some other offers this morning and amazingly the pending status for the trade I really needed is gone. The guy sold his team and it nullified our agreement. So now we head into our most important game of the year without the guy we wanted and also without the guy we had. It took support 8 hours to email me and tell me that they can't help.

I think the ultimate solution is not to add anymore teams until the market stabilizes and there is some value in owning a team. Or just add a "buy it now" feature to the marketplace.

Yea, I mean the whole process to getting players is getting extremely over complicated I think.

ack... that suxs to hear =/

That is pretty tough, man. Still, it isn't the game's fault, it's the players. I don't know what the solution is. Limit the number of teams and you end up with players unable to find a team to play on. A lot of teams though and it is hard to find guys.

The thing is, any limit, limits the income of GLB. Let's not pretend that is unimportant. The income in which we supply those who run this joint with, is the only reason this joint exists. They 'call it beta' but we pay for the it in hard earned green. It's so not beta, and it so will never be 'limited'

I understand that it won't really be limited until players start to leave, however the "buy it now" feature would cure a lot a frustration on my part.

I don't like the "Buy It Now" feature, really. Some of the better counters to that are listed above.
But that is a VERY awful thing that happened to you. I'm really sorry that had to happen.
