We have to be REALLLLLY careful with that mindset because that's often what gets the league in trouble.  I'm all for 'patience' and understanding people have lives (although I'm not convinced all GMs do ) but it's a big ask to tell 80-90% of the league to just deal with sitting on their thumbs and doing nothing but AC's for two weeks and "just be patient" waiting on two teams because four people have lives.  You can't let the GMs run the league at the expense of the common user.

I totally understand that. And yeah, not all the GM's have lives to attend to, that's for sure. I guess I'm just confused that with all the moving parts and all the suggestions that I'm sure the Head Office is trying to accommodate, how this one always comes up. Logistically it'd have to take a unanimous vote from all of management for something like this to go through -- as opposed to thinks like appointing a League Historian and streamlining the updating process, which the old heads can effectively ignore at no cost to themselves.

If I'm proven wrong, so be it; I just think this is hot air wasted. I won't believe it's going to change until it does, because I've heard the same complaint since S23.

I've advocated more than most for the "common user" with the ultimate goal of killing the tryhard mentality and making the game actually mean something besides acquiring maximum TPE. I don't think the two week layoff is the tipping point for common users; not right now.
