It's not. It's very easy to understand, actually. But this is not really a matter of my preference vs. your preference. As I've stated, it's also about what impact this can have if the option is provided, and it's about whether it fits the developer's goals for the product.
So let's not blindly assume that this is a simple proposition or that it can be implemented without potentially causing other, major problems. Maybe it is. Or maybe not. Sure, I have my personal views on it when it comes to logical consistency and realism, but I'm not the developer, and my preferences are not part of the equation for Markus.
Maybe the option can be implemented simply and successfully. Or maybe the budgets are working this way for very specific reasons that cannot be overturned without recoding the entire financial system.
The developer has the choice to NOT allow you to play the game in the way you want because it's completely inconsistent with the intention of a major feature, could possibly BREAK the finances in your games, is too difficult to code, or might destabilize online leagues if it's abused.
You or I may WANT to play the game in a certain way, but if we ask for the option to do that, it could cause unanticipated problems or otherwise be considered a bad idea by the developer. We don't have a right to demand it regardless of consequences or other considerations.
Then again, the developer also has the choice to give you the option if it makes sense.
But many of the people here have missed these points, so I don't think there is much use in repeating them.
As I've said three times now, it will be up to Markus to decide on this. And if he deems this to be feasible, sensible, and relatively harmless, then I'm sure he'll add the option. If he doesn't, then there will be some solid reasoning behind it, and you'll have to find other ways around it.
Enjoy the rest of the discussion.
