Just as Ash suggested:
How can we cut out cheating as a community?
Cheating will never be banished from games. There will always be cheats, either because; They can't get enough of the game, they are rubbish at the game, or because the rules are so tight, that they have to bend the rules slightly.
This leads me on to the reason of this article. How can we cut out cheating? Currently, players in some countries are short of money. At the end of the day, people have to bend the rules to get their fair share. At the moment, the game is unbelievably biased towards Swedes. I've had a couple of players in the English premiership who have said that the game is biased towards Swedes, I have been registered for around a month, and there must be some sort of fog between reality and the crew, because it's amazing how this rule has been kept in place, yet the constant whining at the forums about it.
What is happening is, the Swedes have an advantage. There are no where near as many good English players as there are Swedish, and when the big Englishman go up on the transfer list, the big clubs snap them up. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. Now we get people creating doubles, these could be seen as the "Robin Hoods" of MZ, they steal from the rich, and give to the poor. This could also be seen as creating a new account, and buying his other account players to give his main account more money.
Now, how do we stop this cheating? It's a bit like music. How would EMI stop music piracy? At the end of the day, records are too expensive, hence music piracy. The only way to cut it out is to reduce the price of records. So something has to be done to stop the cheating of the system. So how do we stop the cheating? Well it is simple. Stop the favouritism aimed towards the Swedish, and other big nations wth big name players, and scrap the 3 foreign players max rule. The MLS has this in real life, and it is to boost the states football. Now do MZ have this rule to boost such nations as ohhhh let's see, every nation except Sweden. I don't think so.
If MZ could scrap the maximum of 3 foreign players rule, and introduce a rule where you could buy as many as you want, but only name 3 or 5 players in the first team squad, or maybe after 1-2 seasons, they gain your nationality. That way, MZ would be a better place seeing as there are less cheats, who con their way to the top. Alternatively, we could divide it into continents like it is in real life, 3 non-continental players maximum in each squad.
Personally, I am all for the rules to be changed. I have to admit that cheating has crossed my mind more than once, have a laptop and another PC downstairs to fall back on, I would have to be very careful, however, I'm not a hypocrite. I would like to see the rules changed, but I have been pretty frustrated with this rule over the last 48 hours and it is starting to annoy me.
It is not just me who believes MZ's current policy on foreign players stinks, I see posts on it in the forums, yet they are ignored. Why have a suggestions forum if the suggestions are ignored? I want our voices to be heard, and I would like to see the rules changed.
