The entire task the way it is set up now essentially forces people to leak information that both GM's and HO don't want leaked. It also benefits users that have access to war rooms and more connections over new users that are just getting acquainted with the site. It doesn't make any sense.

Coming back from time away, this is pretty much where I land. It was just a lot of conversation and headache that I personally had no desire to get involved in, and took away from the enjoyment of simply getting drafted and finding out a new home. It also just adds a lot of unnecessary tension - people nagging GMs or scouts for info they don't want to divulge, players (especially rookies already wondering where they'll end up) trying to maximize the TPE, etc.

I won't pretend to be smart enough about the current climate to know what the replacement would be, and I know it's always annoying when someone talks about a problem without suggesting a solution. But I think everyone would be happier if we moved on from this, or made the "top 10" or an expanded version of that method the norm.
