Don't try to keep the power forever and ever!
What ?
I said I wanted to keep it short this is why I was not and I am still not adressing your points more deeply, if you want to further this topic, let's do it elsewhere from now on.
No, you give no fact, only your perception.
Of course, ratings and skills are relevant as it is bought with money and the value of skills has plummeted. Isn't it what you are complaining about ? Why are you talking about training then ? Training produces skills that you convert into money and vice versa.
At the beginning of BB, this was a starting lower league team
(55599) and this was a top league team
(55599), they started the same, because the top league was new too :) All the teams were the same, there was no gap between leagues.
Today, this a starting lower league
(55599) and this is a top league team
(56221). The gap has grown larger and is huge now. The reason why it was possible before to raise quickly was that the gap was small.
Banan is a special case and if you check his transfer history, don't use the mouse wheel to scroll down the page or you'll get a tendonitis before reaching the end :)
