Sukitansee :
Very surprising viewpoint. I and my guild buddies at L36/37/38 today have noticed the lack of quality in the auctions for the last few months - basically since they introduced the premium sales. There are very few 170/180 Q players in the auction, but loads of junk at 160 and lower and a raft of journeymen in the 200+ area who cost a fortune for one season's worth of play. Greed will kill this game in the end, as the best players are all beginning to hang their boots up!
Whatever User Name I Try It Already Exists :
I'm at level 37, retiring at the end of this season and offloaded several players with good base scores and high development potential. They didn't go for exorbitant prices. Have also picked up a few 'finished articles' to support my final fling, again at reasonable prices. Also passed over plenty of players I would have gone for if intending to play on.
So in other words I don't see what the problem is. Haven't noticed anything unusual about the level 37 auction house this season.

I've never been enthusiastic about the 'pay real cash for a maxed out player' concept especially when some people took this to an extreme but I don't expect to pick up lots of players that are almost as good for free through the auction house.
I don't consider players rated at 160 to be junk especially when their skill points have been allocated to the right areas. I managed 6 wins and a positive points difference in the top tier last season with a first team rated under 160 on average.
Of course the best players are gradually hanging up their boots because every game has limits to its playability. There was a lot of fuss about this on the forum several months ago but there are new skilful players coming through all the time and a growing number in total.
