Thank you for this mindful article, which touches some interesting points.
ich regard to the commentary - this is mainly indeed a time problem. The backend does already calculate about 200 actions per game - so I would "just" need to take the effort to get it out. I was not sure how important players would take this over other things. Maybe I have to make up my mind on this.

With regard to the pay2win characteristics: At the moment it is indeed possible to freeze players over the end of the season and thus avoid the skill changes. This is something that will be addressed later. Also, the whole payment system is likely to be adapted over time.

Lastly, with regard to the league system - it is very critical to switch from four leagues per level to two. I know its tough to get up again, but at least you do not have to appreciate 6 league to come to the top.

Best regards, Tim
