That’s not a criticism, just an observation. All players can engage on lineup optimization, but many players will never have the opportunity to montitor auction prices and inefficiencies for hours at a time, even if they wanted to, due to work and family obligations.

Winner.
Quant, I'm sorry if I annoyed your fanbois. Sorry if you felt attacked, that wasn't really the intention.
You're like the leader of a top guild; clearly you have the skills, but clearly it's a set of skills that not everyone can (or should) emulate or duplicate.
It actually leads me to questioning my own time sink investment here. I'm fascinated by the statistics of baseball, but not the auction house game--not any more. Been there, done that, WoW'd the t-shirt, wasted the hours by the hundreds. But WoW had much, much better AH tools.
I love the collecting, I hate the greed. Because it's addictive, in all the wrong ways. Because there might not be anything in Perfect Team that's
as important. Maybe the winning auction house game is really just about everything that PL has to offer.
When it stops being fun, it becomes work, right? I butchered my very first team pretty badly, wasting money on incremental upgrades, yup, so
more work required, but naw, you'll probably not catch up before XX shuts down. Better to save a bankroll. Why did you wait on the collections so long, it's too expensive to chase now. I play a shortstop because I feel sentimental about him, not for Good Statistical Reasons. nananana, hopeless case.
Perfect league feels like work, catching up to whales who had 45 seasons of head start.
But before PeL? It wasn't work, it was
really fun. No one to tell me "ur doin it rong."
"You can do it!" this whole post screams.
Work and wife and kids and kids and life say, "No, no, you really can't." She wants her husband back. A model of patience, she's been through this before. I'm sure she recognizes the signs of impending Gamer Addiction.
FTP is viable! Sure it is, but the currency is TIME. Oh, so very much time.
And when XX shuts down and XXI rolls out? You can swing that massive bankroll and mad skillz and then you WIN!

Repeat until it shatters.
