He can’t be making nearly as much as he used to. Are people still buying flex? I haven’t bought flex points in 10 years

I'm one of the original agents to the game - joined, I believe, n season 2. I also left and stayed away for more than a decade. The only thing that brought me back was a GM offer from ATKM. I logged in randomly and saw the invite. I looked at the forums - saw they were dead, the leagues were in decline, my retired legacy dots were gone - but GLB2, the free players, and an outstanding flex balance lured me to build 3 dots. Once I did I built the 4th, bought more flex, and made another free player.
But here's the issue - the same flaws that caused me to leave over 10 years ago remain, and are now, magnified. There are only a handful of non-CPU managed teams. The "build-meta" has seemed to significantly reduce the variability of builds, and the difference at the highest levels are the coordinators and variability of the SIM. It feels like unless I am building a dot that fits a handful of people's view of what a dot should look like I am wasting my time - even if it is accelerated.
If there isn't going to be an effort to bring back more players (which sending a reminder to folks who have flex to come back and play) you have to make the CPU teams better. Right now, my dots play 3-4 competitive games a season. That's not interesting. One thing I did see in GLB2 that might be beneficial here is "Franchise" mode. If this was here, and gave unlimited free dots (and yes, throw in the CE) you will get more teams, more variability and I will burn through flex faster.

It would appear that I need to improve my brand.

Just need a response from Bort or DD (or whoever is running the game). Ultimately anything we do would only attract players to a game that is no longer being updated.
