Technical cheating NoMoreLulz

Post by flockmastoR » Sun Aug 03, 2025 8:53 am

As we all witnessed, there were some strange things going on with new teams (all multis) making autogenerative teams and selling all the riders.

FPC did act very fast to stop this behaviour, but the generated riders flooded the division 6 market and NoMoreLulz is now starting (03.08.) to buy those riders.

For me this is market manipulation and I would like to

1) Get rid of those riders that flood the market
2) Fine NoMoreLulz for using multis to manipulate the market

Thanks for your attention

Maybe in order to prevent this happening riders like that should need a certain number of races in order to enter the market again when sold..otherwise they would just be deleted.

1) not an FPC matter
2) FPC is investigating the case.

I know you cannot do it. But if NoMoreLulz is guilty of manipulating the market it would be a logical consequence (to do by the admins).

There were 251 riders added to the market just within those 3-5 days (just counting what those multies produced), 23 do already have a new owner. 4 of them were bought by NoMoreLulz himself.

so still an extra number of 224 riders on the market (if my database query was correct)

While using multiple accounts is against the rules and should be addressed, it also exposes serious flaws in Division 6 that deserve urgent attention. This isn't about asking for unfair advantages, it's about fixing a system that sets new teams up for frustration. The auto-generate function often produces weak teams with 1 or 2 decent riders forcing you to sell the others, the market is bad and empty, resets are restricted, and teams are effectively sell most of their riders when they enter Div 5, where the real game begins.

As long as the market isn’t flooded with superstars, there should be more freedom, either by allowing unlimited resets in Div 6 or improving the quality of available riders or both. Making it tax-free is another option, but that risks abuse.

What we saw recently was a temporary influx of decent but non-game-breaking riders, and actually benefited many teams and didn’t distort competition. The issue isn’t one player exploiting the game, it’s a broken structure motivating that kind of behavior.

I guess the fairplay section dealing with this abusive actions is the wrong place to discuss this more general topic.
So please open a thread in "Technic" section to discuss a possible change of Div 6 market.

No-brainer if he's the one that used the multis...

it's like in real life: you only care about poor div6 teams but instead you should tax the rich!
