 Near the end of the season managers with lets say 2000+ exp, who are in div 5,6,7 should be offered an option to be moved to a 'Bot Free Group' in the next season. This should be an option mangers have to proactively select to ensure only active managers get consolidated.

all the managers that select this option should be consolidated into groups (at their division level) made up entirely of active managers ( or at least ones who are active at the start of the season)

this would greatly enhance the "liveliness" of group play in those divisions. This is not a change in overall count of teams, its just a concentration of live players. 		09/07/2012 20:48

 I think div7 should be eliminated all together and all active users be put in div6 with new people who sign up should be given a sys bot team. or create lass groups in div7 so there are not as many sys bots floating around in general. system bots should also not be able to gain promotion at all, this would cause active managers to go up even if they are poor to start.

But overall i like this suggestion - it puts more meaning to those in lower divisions 		10/07/2012 00:57

I agree +1. I think this would bring back that much needed excitement that this game had seasons ago. One or two bots are great but when your whole league sees only one or two other humans, it kind of dampens the whole competitive experience. 		10/07/2012 02:29

 for the mathematics of div1 - 1 group, div 2- 4 groups, div 3-16 groups, you need to have all these sysbot teams to round out the divisions. so sysbots aint going away. but my seasons in div 6,5,4 were fairly 'dead' as i would only have 1 or two active managers in my group. there was no banter between teams, it was kinda boring till i got into div 3 where all the managers are 'full on' 10/07/2012 02:36

If you removed sys bots to div6 faster you'd have no need for sys bot teams to "round out" divisions. this way there'd be more managers in higher divisions and more competition. 		10/07/2012 02:37

of course, system bots due serve a purpose other than filling spots in divisions and I think what you have suggested is a very good observation and suggestion to better the overall experience in game-play and communication.

 plus - with less sys bots league forums become more active and users interact more because the potential for conversation is there 10/07/2012 02:40
