If you train two attribute you lose at most 10 BTs/season (new system BTs). A player that is already over half is career can get them back in a a half a season of light training. Not fun, but also not such a huge damage (this light training can be pushed to the end of the career).

A "server" is probably not one actual server. Fair bet there's at the very least a web server, database server, replay server, archive server and auxiliary (forum/chat/etc) server. There may well be substantially more hardware behind any one of these components at this point. I'd bet the database and archive are particularly hardware needy and that the web server is 3-4 physical boxes in a farm.
New servers would split the userbase, which strikes me as a bigger problem than Bort not wanting to pony up some green.

Any idea if the actual training values will be released before the end of the season, meaning what %intense will give, hard, etc?

You are probably correct in that assumption, but I was just replying to the stupid reasons that David Stern was talking about. There was also a bunch of other stupid reasons right after that. So don't take me so literal when I am trying to answer ignorance....LOL. As far as the userbase being split I would have to see how it is setup and I might be able to give a better answer on how it could be done. However, I come on here for fun, not really to talk shop, even though, the fun is starting to go out of this game for me.

Why should level 49/61 players gain from the new training system ?
From what I seen the new training system main affect is increasing the price of BTs. There are some new option for enhanced training, but that likely important only for the earlier players trying to maximize ALGs.
Do I miss something ?
They should be able to train at Low Intensity without losing much (because they have at least one if not two capped all important abilities already. So training gains are of minimal value. But they will be able to use the BT from low intensity training to support more and better AEQ.

I thought that was the idea. But usually level 50 didn't finish his trainings. And to get a 240 BTs needed for an extra AEQ yo need to sacrifice a 80 days (almost 2 season) on top of the BTs needed for the current AEQ. I agree there can be a small upgrade in that perspective.
Thanks

This is getting added to the game. We might make a few small revisions between now and when it is rolled out based on balance issues or testing. If we do so, we will announce the revisions in the appropriate thread.
