You said the more people you want in, the more you have to compromise, and if you are ok with a smaller league of 6, 8 or 10 people you have to compromise less.
The problem is, in NA timezones at least, leagues of 6, 8 or 10 are still very hard to get going. I'm not talking about starting a big league here, I'm talking about a little one, and its already hard enough to get those started. And when you do, you can't be picky about who you get in, because most people tend to be pretty full up on leagues and there aren't that many of us.
So it is very hard to get a league started, even a small one, and get exactly what you want in the ruleset, especially when the default is official rules. |
Is this an argument?
I ask because I don't think that either of us has said anything that actually contradicts the other yet. 
OK. It's not easy. The more specialised your requirements the harder it will be to find opponents. There are no leagues even close to doing what you would enjoy?
You live in a place populated by only yourself and a few penguins?
I haven't actually said that it would be easy. So I don't think that it is actually an argumennt yet.
Some won't play in the [L]eague division e.g. because it takes too long to get a game.
Well, if more people played, maybe it wouldn't take so long. 
But hey, if everyone is being ultra specialised it probably still will.
So, how much do you have to compromise in order to get by? Isn't that what life is all about?
If it is important enough you could try moving to somewhere other than Penguin Island.
You know. Before it gets really crazy. |

It seems Wildly Inaccurate is changing to "from the receiver" in Sept... Not that that's enough to make passing good. But it least its a small step... |

About the easy-to-build-freaks: either or both Season and Re-Draft budget could be decreased.
We are using a Season's length and a Re-Draft budget that, as far as I know, are higher than suggested by the rulebook.
That would be a viable change, because allowed by official rules.
We could use a 10-game Season with 1300 budget.
If we have to keep the 15-game Season for the BBT, at least the budget could be set at 1300. |

Too small to give me any real hope. |

My point is the "Just play leagues lol" argument is a frustratingly irrelevant argument in discussing overall complaints with the game, because, like it or not, the official rules are by far the easiest way to organize playing this game.
Basically my point is customization of leagues is irrelevant to this discussion. |
