OSM Events: How to improve? Discussion of current ones!
-
@galipcaliskan1907 so from Monday 00.00 does their squad value start as Zero then whatever they make between Mon-Thurs count? Or is it the total squad value people have when it finishes Thursday? Thanks for the speedy reply

What about current event? How can it be improved?As you can see from the posts below, last event was really controversial and there was some interesting feedback and we decided to increase this discussion and see where it can take us.
@jeffro-davies The latter. It's the total squad value you have when it finishes on Thursday.

Gamebasics... you guys seriously have no clue what you are doing right? How is this a fair competition?
To those who do not understand what I mean, let me quickly summarize what this "team building" event actually means:
To put it shortly: its a russian roulette. Managers who are already far into a competition, have an unfair advantage over others. And the sad part is, managers who don't understand this will desperately invest hundreds of coins into this, while realistically they have 0 chance if they start a brand new competition. If you think about it this way, you can actually think of this event being a sort of scam, to try to persuade the manager to invest more coins than usual. And you know what the funniest part is? In the announcement they say it's only for the best managers... what a joke!
I can go on to criticize this event even further, but honestly, that is not worth my time. It's a big shame Gamebasics, you should be ashamed of yourselves that you cannot even think for one second about fair regulations for a "competition" like this.
Therefore, my advice to other managers that are reading this is: do not invest in this event if you have to start a brandnew competition for this. You have no idea how far other managers are, and thus the chance of getting a high price is extremely low. Don't waste your money guys, take it from someone who has played this game for many, many years.
To any admins: Im sorry if my message is written in a very bold way, but I seriously cannot contain myself anymore. Stuff like this needs to be adressed, we shouldn't let this happen anymore.

@thebestmanagernl Don't be sorry to write in a bold way. As long as we have respect and don't insult each other feel free to write your concerns. You may not think so right now, but we are listening and do appreciate the feedback we get.
These temporary events are also new for us, we are trying new things and continue to improve on the feedback managers like you give us. In that regard, I would like to thank you and @sergiu-il for letting us know what you think. I will be sure to pass it on.
For example; the rise in rewards (now 10x (!) more than the last event, and rewards for places 4-10) is one of the things we changed based on the feedback from the previous event.I also want to emphasise that these events are completely optional. Nobody is forced to compete or spend BossCoins. If you don't feel like you have a chance to win, which you are free to feel, don't compete. Just play OSM like you normally would, and if you're really that good, you can even join the top10 without actively competing.
But everything aside calling it a scam goes too far in my opinion. We are not out here looking for ways to scam our managers. The rules are clear and transparent, it's optional, you don't have to spend BossCoins to compete and the prize is nothing to joke about.
Again, thanks for the feedback on these events. We will continue to improve them based on your (and others) messages.

Pure and simple: If you need to use coins to achieve something then It's not for the BEST MANAGERS! It is sad that GB is doing this scam competitions for wealthy users who usually waste coins and make ridiculous teams in this competitions. But its always nice to see that even though they have tons of players rated over 120 they still lose games to managers with squad players rated around 85. THOSE MANAGERS ARE THE REAL MVP's and competitions should be built around them.
Lets say: Win with biggest squad difference event, something like that, then, only then we can talk about fair and right competitions for BEST MANAGERS

@galipcaliskan1907 Of course It's not pure scam. But putting trhe words "only best managers are asked to compete" Is kinda scamish, you must admit. I understand marketing and everything, but dont use words "best managers" for this lottery competitions, please

@edgaream put his manager name in your friends, make sure you’re logged in on one of your slots. Then you can look for yourself, go on his profile, then slots and click on “inter Milan” I’ve no reason to lie

- winning the most matches in certain period
- winning most Mp's
- scoring most goals
- conceeding least goals

@majstor-matt Mate,
Do remember that as much as we can post our opinions we are to respect forum rules and shouldn't make insulting posts.

That's right, ban anyone who even tries to give some suggestion about competitions that would be fair for everyone. I dont see how I insulted anyone there. Clown is a funny person, persona who makes other laugh. I dont see how is that an insult or a bad thing.
But as I saId, I understand that due to marketing reasons you guys have to do things like this.

I was thinking that 'putting the fist in your mouth' strategy are applying just inside romanian community, but seems that exceeds the borders.
