I posted the 180 point deal in the other thread jokingly as that's what "renting" CEQ for PW really costs you after you get the return on your 600 flex. If that's what it cost with the change, then it's complete idiocracy. Sure it saves you a little up front, but it's bullshit that we're not saving any overall.

That wouldn't make sense Z as for as a business stand point. In reality this rentable idea is just for pee wee's really and Bort is a beotch right now but 1 thing he does great at is running this game as a business. I am sure he is smart enough to realize 180 wouldn't fly seeing as how he want's CEQ to trend season over season for pee wee's.

I disagree. Think of it at advertising. Spend a little money up front, or in this case, reduce your cost, and then watch more people buy it later, which is where you will get your profit.

Lets say for argument sake that 10% of all Pee-Wee players buy CEQ. With the No-No movement, it's probably down to 5%. Now lets say this rentable CEQ takes effect at 100 flex per season, if suddenly 25% of all Pee-Wee players have CEQ, Bort's profits now increase. It might take a few seasons for that 25% to hit, so it's likely he will loose in the short term, but should more than make up for it in the long run.

I don't think you understood what I posted then Gerr b/c the point you made was the point I was saying.

say as an example if pee wee CEQ rev amount was trending (15%) for the last few season's, Bort wouldn't install rentable CEQ at 180. He is too smart for that shit and he know's the pee wee community is too smart to fall for that. The thing is, if he does introduce this at 100, I imagine he could see double the rev comp from this season vs next.

Who ever started the 180 rumor is full of it, and a laugh fest that we are getting worked up on something that is pure pondering. All that is fact is there will be rentable CEQ, nothing else.

I actually heard it somewhere else too...

hmm ...yeah maybe som1 is just yanking our chains ...I dare say that the GLB community as a whole would be slightly jealous/resentful about rentable Custom EQs for peewee ...and I guess that Bort would be wary about this for having the potential to divide the GLB community
...I dunno why Bort doesn't just try to make it more affordable, and if it doesn't work out to be more profitable, then return to the current situation ...i think that if C EQs were made to be more affordable for peewee, then it can only generate more interest and the game would be more appreciated coz we would be getting value for money
...the truth is that the teams that spend flexies get rewarded by Ws ...the bottom line is if we want to win games then we need to continue to keep spending flexies! ...I don't believe that game planning makes up too much for the lack of spending flexies ...the days of DORD are long gone!
...these days, teams that don't boost and buy custom eqs, cannot beat teams that do boost and buy custom eqs ...the only way to beat the system is for every team to not boost and buy custom eqs, but that won't happen coz we can't be trusted to all follow suit ...and eventually Bort would find a solution to make us spend more ...and maybe a part of the solution at the moment is to forum ban me for posting this?!?
...the reality is that we are required to spend far too much to be competitive in a beta version! ...charging us $500+ dollars for a competitive peewee gold team for the life span of a couple of months in a beta version should be against the law!

In a real life example: I run a Pizza Hut in an area that is often a test market for new products and promotions. We got this silly directive from the higher ups that we'd be testing the results of $10 pizzas any way you want them. Alot of managers cried foul about the associated costs of selling some guys $25 dream pie to him for only ten bucks. We saw an immediate increase of 30-40% and higher in sales. After only a couple weeks it was pretty obvious the benefits far outweighed the concerns we had about margins n such and the promotion launched nationally. Same store sales growth throughout the company has been through the roof ever since and many stores have been profiting more than ever before. It has forced every competitor to adapt or fail trying.

Sometimes you need to step outside the box and do something previously not thought of. 'Rentable' ceq is a step in the right direction but cheaper ceq in general should be the norm, not something that gets people banned for even mentioning or trying to unite others around.

Oh and we're currently testing the 'Unstopable Toppable'... coming to a P Hut near you (if successful) around Super Bowl time.

Lol.

I would not be surprised.
