This is what is meant by an improperly aligned incentive.
I too have thought, "oh, damn, I'm being promoted:"
And now that I've actually reached Perfect, I understand why you would tank. There is really no way at this point for me to catch up with the top teams in these divisions, short of spending money.... or.....
So I can spend the rest of PT satisfied trying to have a 500 record - with little chance of making the playoffs, or drop a few levels and not only reap a huge PP bonanza, but, at least at Diamond level, I face a fun challenge.
So, now that I've "succeeded" by reaching Perfect, there is nothing left to do because there is no way to catch the whales short of dropping a bunch of dough. (Can I lament again the collapse of the FTP leagues?)
I wasn't about to tank, but DAMN, 50K would def. help my team!
