Reduce roster sizes

[gran guerrero]

Another thing you can't kick people off chats, I doubt they will just quit because they aren't apart of the squad because they were inactive. I'm sure they would understand the reasoning because they were inactive

If anything it would drive them to play again. Just look at Jason.

There's many reasons why a person is inactive

but one of them is because they don't get to play. I'm sure if they were axed and had to find a new squad where they can get a chance to start, they will get active again.

But they can always leave to another squad if they dont get to play. If they dont do that, they clearly dont care and why would they get active/start caring if they were axed :/

[gran guerrero]

Cause it's like a wake up call?

I don't see why you should care if they quit or continue to play. They were inactive in the first place and not doing anything. It's not like it was helping our zone.

They can't just sit there and waste space. Time to establish the fact that if you want to stick around you have to be active more than once every 6 months (or however long they were inactive for).

I'm not saying this will suddenly brighten up the zone and everyone will start playing. Heck you're right, some might just finally find a reason to quit. But I don't think it will be everyone. Need to do something than nothing because let's face it. The zone is dying.

Not putting any limits on twd is just giving an excuse to a bunch of players that they do not have to try to get into twl. That TWL will be served on a plate for them and they don't have to play until it starts.

Load of horseshit. Limiting roster sizes will end up getting rid of the inactive, some will come back and play on different teams, or get active again to play on the same team or some will just quit. But that at least offers a chance for some squads to start recruiting again to be competitive. There are some squads that have way too many people on their squad and can be playing elsewhere. It might even bring some caps to actually care about training newbs to be apart of the squad.

tl;dr:
Enough with the excuses, install limits or continue to let the zone die.

Well I just disagree (and dont see point posting in here anymore).

I agree with gran here. This is a good idea.

As far as TWL goes Eelam has the right idea except I would say add 5 to each number.

Big ups to Hydra for having smallest roster on the list.

You disagreed giving said reason

I refuted said reason

so you just simply disagree

That doesn't make sense.

There were other squads who were right on 25 and some who were below it (wasn't necessary in mentioning them because they are just as active or even more active than other squads who has more).

[Dwopple]

i think until we have a squad triple crown rosters should remain the current 35 TWL limit.

[gran guerrero]

But they can always leave to another squad if they dont get to play. If they dont do that, they clearly dont care and why would they get active/start caring if they were axed :/

I didn't address this properly but I will even if you don't want to post in here anymore.

If a player got onto let's say Dice, or Thunder but didn't get a chance to play but had an opportunity to win a title, even if they were on the bench (cough nickname) then that's ok (for said person)!

But that player isn't inactive, he can play but he chose to be on bench to win a title rather than play and possibly lose.

But that's the whole point I am trying to make. This wasn't about getting rid of inactives (you brought up this point) I was bringing the point of reducing roster sizes so that people can't just sit on bench and win a title when they should be making their own squad or joining lesser squads to be more competitive.

Even if half the squads are inactive, there are probably more or less still enough players that can move on to another squad and those who are starting on their squads already will just hold onto their old inactive members and get rid of their newer active backups.

This is about creating competition, not to get rid of players.

[freddie]

Well I post once more to clarify things (unless something new comes up)

I dont mind if TWL rosters would get reduced, for the reasons you pretty much stated. Creating competition with new squads, because I think if people care enough they dont stay in those big roster TWD squads because they want to play TWL. But I dont want TWD rosters get reduced because not all players care about TWL and just wants "casual gaming".

Limit TWL rosters but not TWD rosters: People who cares about twl would have to create new squads to get playing time, but casual gamers could "idle" in big twd rosters and play once in a while. <- Good thing

But I dont want to see TWD rosters reduced.

And I said that I wont be posting here cause I respect your point of view, but just happen to disagree. Didnt want this to turn into flamewar (which it didnt) like most of the threads here

[gran guerrero]

I think we can all agree to reduce sizes for TWL

Personally I feel the same for TWD because it would force more people to try if they found out more squads are competing for twl.

Especially in TWL-B because there's so few basing squads left but there's plenty of basers on a couple of squads that could create 1-3 more squads to compete.

Why not have separate rosters within a squad for each league?

TWLD - 12 squad members can be rostered
TWLJ - 12
TWLB - 20?

maybe a hard cap at 30. perhaps there can be an inner-squad roster lock that happens before playoffs, i dunno, lots could be done. you could of course be rostered for all the leagues

those numbers could be tweaked. but this would encourage less team stacking. i would even be ok with 10 people for LD and LJ. people would get 10 active players rostered. there would be a greater number of competitive teams, while still allowing teams to have their best players playing every league. it would just create a better and more competitive league overall.

but, yeah.
