OSM Events: How to improve? Discussion of current ones!
-
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

@jeffro-davies Impossible to believe, we need picture!
@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
I’m on my phone, screen shots are hard lol -

@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.
"It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." -- Bill Gates -
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.

I would like to point you all to this post from my colleague.
Feel free to discuss and point the things you don't agree on the event. We're still starting and learning while doing it.
Discuss doesn't mean that you should be blind and assume things. It's impossible to build a squad to that point on a single day, no matter how much money you put on the game. Both leagues are already way ahead on the schedule (one on week 36 and the other on week 27), so this user was building up this squad for quite some time.
Also commenting something doesn't mean you're allowed to insult other users (doing that will make you join Majstor Matt on his holidays) and also trying to create riots on forums will take you on same way!
@Casual1948 and @Maryka7 if you guys are trying to do same thing you did recently on Romanian forums/community, this will lead you guys to a straight lock of the accounts! Just take your time to go out, chill down and think carefully before post again.
Take also some time to read forum rules and even OSM terms. Keep in mind that there's freedom of speach as long as you observe the rules of the space where you're speaking (writing). -
OSM need still improve their events. Its clear, there are a lot people that is a bit obfuscated by that. I some of them already write in this thread. Ur managers, ur people are talking OSM!
I remember events in the past. Referring only to awards, before was like derision to all users those awards. Osm improve that ranking and number of Boss Coins awarded., like said @GalipCaliskan1907 . But I think and have the sensation that a lot people here want a more FAIR, ENGAGING award system. For example why only 10?
♂️ U say that have millons and millons of users, and u only reward in a event to only TOP10? Think about urself (admin, moderators, OSM).CHanging that to Top 100 will be more reasonable, and more engaging event. Because u will be not have chances to get into top 10, but get in top100? Is a lot more probable.
Try to make a number of Boss Coins awarded reasonable.
Like said @Majstor-Matt why U dont make also events like that?
Dont even try to put some competitions like :
winning the most matches in certain period winning most Mp's scoring most goals conceeding least goalsWHy NOT? I never see a event like that.
Thats all. Listen to people OSM, not fool us like kids : )
Its not the first riot concerning to events, if OSM dont fix, improve this will happen again.♂️♂️ -

Let me just give you some notes for you guys to think and maybe you guys can come up with a really good idea for us to make FAIR events.
At least I think that's what we all aim for. Events to reward those that help OSM to grow, correct?
Top 100 » Do you know how many users cheat their way up to win events or any other thing? How easy you think that the job to catch cheaters is?
All the other options you provided for events » I could use exactly same argument, but I'll use a different one. Get more MPs on a league? That depends only on the manager? And what about score most goals? It depends only on a manager?
So how fair it is for managers if your result on the event depends on type of managers you get on your league?If you guys have a good and Fair idea for an event, please share it with us. If not... well, if you don't like the ones we've, you're not forced to take part on the events. It's up to you to decide if you join it or not!
