who even are you?

I've done the research in the past when this discussion has come up, but i dont have it anymore

Alright these are the findings for players with over 100 TPE/per season earned (since we don't want averages being dragged down by players who aren't very active or are inactive).

S35 - 153
S36 - 143
S39 - 148
S40 - 153
S43 - 138

One could say the average is being brought down by those that earn between 100 and 120 TPE each season, we look at the top three earners in each class.

S35 - Highest: 185 ~ 2nd Highest: 184 ~ 3rd Highest: 171
S36 - Highest: 179 ~ 2nd Highest: 175 ~ 3rd Highest: 165
S39 - Highest: 181 ~ 2nd Highest: 172 ~ 3rd Highest: 170
S40 - Highest: 165 ~ 2nd Highest: 157 ~ 3rd Highest: 152
S43 - Highest: 185 ~ 2nd Highest: 169 ~ 3rd Highest: 167

So we I believe we see here is that there are between 0 and 2 exceptional earners each draft (S35 being the only one in this set that has 2 exceptional earners and S40 being the only one that has none).

I'm sure your gripe with inflated TPE numbers stems from back when you joined in S20 when you saw players such as Argar's. Back then Argar's TPE peaked at 2209. (2209-155)/11 seasons means he earned 186 TPE a season. So my findings are that in the longterm we've seen TPE inflation actually stagnate and in the short term we're seeing relatively stable numbers as well. Even with a player like King who has been recruiting several players a season and created as soon as new season creation opened up he's earning 185 TPE a season and is 16 TPE/season above the next player. I really just don't see this TPE inflation that you're talking about. You also have to take into account the fact that we're talking about max earners here and when you look at say the 2nd and 3rd highest earners you immediately see drop offs. if we were to remove Champions Week without some sort of replacement that'd leave a 15 TPE void which I think based on historical numbers would put new players at an even larger disadvantage than the current regression percentages already have them at.

You can make the argument that we should just raise capped TPE by 15 and add that TPE to point tasks and weekend funtimes, but personally I'm against that because it reduces the amount of activity we'll see on the site. Others may see Champions Week as an obnoxious seasonal TPE hurdle, but I'd hope that we can find a way to change into an exciting seasonal event.
