Why is it such an issue that it justifies totally gutting the work that many of us have put in over the last two years vs. simply a steeper fall off?

Counter-question, why is it so important to so many people to have 2100 TPE instead of 1900 when what determines you players value is how his relative TPE level is compared to that of his peers? What does that type of highscore thinking accomplish when it gets to the point where people claim the whole league experience is ruined for them when they can't hit an arbitrary number for 2 or 3 out of their 15 total seasons anymore?

This is not meant as a slight against you, you made some very good points in your previous post about the things that are indeed problematic about this change and could maybe have been done better.

I think you're right, it's largely arbitrary whether me or other peak players are at 2100 or 1900 if the on ice outcome is roughly the same. I don't really think I have a high score mentality with the site, despite what my TPE might imply. What hits hard about it is that the 400 TPE being taken is representative of something like 10+ PTs / mPTs, multiple CWs, a few hours of media for seasons of top coaching, etc. The fact that we all had to do that to just have it slashed... sucks? I should have just stopped when I hit 2k if I knew that was the HO approved TPE peak.

I max earned because I had fun doing it and because I wanted to have a really strong player. I understand that everyone being slashed means that I'll still be a top player. I'm fine with that, and I'm fine with a shorter peak. I see that it's good for the league and I agree with it. What I don't feel like is being adequately explained is why TPE inflation is an issue other than it's making 2k less prestigious. I see the need for harsher regression, what I don't see the need for is undoing hours of PT/CW/media work for the sake of what appears to just be trying to maintain the TPE prestige and the TPE records of older players.
