I was a borderline wildcard team, and if it wasn't for you guys I'd probably be going 57-105 next year.

The only thing that reducing the pool means is that instead of promoted sub .500 teams taking a beating, it will be the teams like mine. But the principle will remain the same.

Having a bad year and losing games doesn't matter in and of itself. The big difference is in earnings. Next year if you'd stayed in the rookie league and won 90 games you might have earned, I don't know... say 3000 pp. In the league you're entering you're not going to earn half that. There's no achievements that reward you for being a punching bag.

But with achievement scaling you'd earn as many points being sub .500 in the higher league as someone with twice as many wins would earn in the lower league. And why not? Both teams probably have the same amount of talent after all.
