So I'm going to have to say sorry to all those people I recruited back to sokker. It turns out the DEVs have decided they are going to kill all small countries with changes to sokker, and not take on the ideas which would not only bring small countries back on par with the rest of the community, but let them compete against others.
Despite in game questionnaires run by Slavista and Sviktorov, which showed evidence that people only wanted 2-3 games per week, would prefer a new competition instead of two league games a week, and would prefer to stay to 8 games per league, the DEV's external vote (which you can vote in more than once very easily), apparently showed people wanted 3 games or more per week, no new competitions, two league matches per week and 12 teams per division, which just so happens to be exactly what the DEVs have been trying to push too.
What does this mean for Australia and other small countries? (43 of the 59 countries with less than 40 users never even got a forum announcement post in their forum that changes were going to happen, that they could discuss them, or that there was a vote)? It means that people like agbell, now have 8 extra games per season against people who are even weaker than the teams who can't beat him now, and who even when he wins, he will lose ranking points. It means he does not get a chance to test himself against other country teams and will instead continue the boredom that currently exists, but with twice as many matches per season. It means that the new guys who just joined, will not be able to win any matches in the A-League, and when they auto-relegate, will auto relegate in favour of a bot, and be stuck with 7 bots every 2nd season.
Instead of having an additional International league to prove yourself in, you get another league match to lose.
And the division cup they want to implement? Don't worry, you won't be eligible because now you will be in the A-League.
So, I apologise to everyone I brought back with the hope for the future, and an improved sokker experience, it appears all that matters is looking after the dozen countries with over 100 users and not the other 85 or so with less, or the 58 countries who can't even fill a Div 2.
I will have no hard feelings if people decide to quit before you get too invested, because I probably will as soon as the changes come in myself, and it may all be over for Aus, as I said to the DEVs along with all the other small nations, if they decide to push a false agenda as opposed to listening to actual users.
And to think, I almost bought plus when I heard there were new DEVs. I'm glad I listened to my spidey sense and thought, lets just see what happens, we have been burned by the DEVs in this game before, which is part of why we left the first time

At this stage, I will be considering leaving, or becoming an "inactive team" as I see no point on progressing in a game that will be worse off for us, and run by DEVs who happily manipulate results and don't include the countries they know will be against their ideas in polls.
As you all know, I had hopes they may actually try to make changes for the better for everyone, but unfortunately, I was naive and realised they are no different to the old DEVs and just want to make it better for Poland, just as we can see that they never made the sponsorship system fair between countries either

oh well, you weren't to know G. I'll see what transpires & hang around for now....other games are a priority, but it's not the be all & end all. :)
I haven’t had any time to digest the proposed changes in detail, but I’m not sure how they expect to attract any new users which surely must be their goal to further monetise the site. Unless the new live game packaging is better this game will just waddle along.
I also forgot to mention, with the new system, you will be forced to play your B-Team for about half of your national league matches
