With 2,6 million you'll never qualify for a HOARDING tax...

Some people don't understand... Smh

Buddy I didn't say it that I need to pay this tax.I just said clearly that was the most money I ever had.And I specified that I am not one of those who tank.

Indeed,some people don't understand...Smh


I know... but then again, you made a very questionable statement:

luxury hoarding tax will punish us for some good work.


Having 20 million in the bank is not good work. Especially if you are playing in a DIV III, where this money could buy you a roster to promote to DIV I.

Making steady profit might be good work, but at some point (hint!) you have to spend all that money, thats pretty easy to understand, innit?

Then, how would you qualify a team which has 20M on its bank account and which dominates, has trophies etc. ? Why would the manager buy new players to improve his team ?

And how would a higher salary floor impact such a team? At one point players have to be bought, as age will diminish the skills of every player.

You bring up a good point here. If you're already dominating, don't 'need' better players, and so save money for a rainy day, the luxury tax would still encourage you to spend money on something (or pay a penalty) to stay under $20MM. This would probably make your team even better, which sounds like it wouldn't be necessary if you're already dominating, but could be fun to dominate even more. Having a max of almost $20MM in the bank would still be a good sized nest egg.
(this, of course, assumes that $20MM is the limit, which we don't know yet)

There is another measure which might come in handy. Introduce a maintenance cost to the arena: lower a bit the cost of building seats, allow the possibility to reduce seats for a fee or for free. This will hit everyone of course, but mostly people who carry large arenas they cant fill in lower divisions. The amount of maintenance must be well thought so that people have a convenience to destroy seats they don't use.


I don't a maintenance cost is a good idea. Building up your arena is supposed to be a good strategy, but now your punishing teams with large arenas. I think a better idea would be to allow new teams to build up their arenas faster. Maybe give them 50% off all expansions done in their first 3 seasons.

Technically you'd be punishing more those who have seats they don't use which cost money and don't produce revenues. It's mostly managers who are in lower divisions and have 20k+ arenas. These people are most likely down there either because they are not active (no harm here) or because they are trying to build up cash against easier competition.
