I do hope once we move to FHM8 it balances things out more and we see more variety in cup winners and overall playoff competitiveness.

That being said, I don't think frustration is an excuse for making up false narratives about a team to spread around. Frankly, I think the widespread narrative that things are hopeless because Hamilton are cheating/exploiting is much more damaging to the health of the league than anything Hamilton has actually done in the FHM era. Again I understand people's anger, but what good does it do for the site as a whole to spread lies, especially when it won't accomplish anything except make people feel discouraged and unwilling to care about the site? As someone who's just recently recreated and is now on an up and coming team in Philly I'd hope the site doesn't start declining because of people spreading shit that isn't true.

Sorry if this came off aggressively, I'm talking in general and not about you at all. I agree totally with what you said and I do think that general frustration and the monotonous cycle of the same cup winners is the root cause of this issue.

Didn't come off as aggressive at all and I agree with what you said, its not an excuse. Honestly a little surprised so many GMs mentioned Hamilton specifically in their answer. Its very interesting.

Hopefully FHM 8 comes with some neat new features, a better viewing experience and a better solution for parity.
