Only 62 players failed...

[Rich-League Officer]

2045 = 62 (37%)
2044 = 60 (42%)
2043 = 47 (40%)
2042 = 61 (46%)
2041 = 52 (41%)
2040 = 43 (37%)

There is nothing wrong with the system. It was not designed to retire 80% of the players each year.
And, while this years numbers were at the bottom of the % range, it's still represented a career high in total retirements.

People forget just how few players were retiring under the old system.
We were lucky to get half this number prior to 2040.
The system is working as intended.

I am quoting Jerry's Mantra - we already have multiple global changes in the league happening.
We are changing the points allotment and thus pool.
We are changing the quality and distribution of the draft pool.
Then we changed the size of the draft pool.
We have yet to see the effects these changes will have on the league.
I am sure we are changing something else that i can't remember.

Anyone who does troubleshooting knows you change 1 thing at a time to see accurate results.
We have already thrown that premise out the window.
The things we are already changing hopefully do not overlap effects enough to turn this all into a muddle of inconclusiveness.

NOW, you want to start messing with the already recently renovated retirement process????

Let's just relax on the Mad Scientist "Lets just throw everything into the beaker and wait for the explosion" approach. This is not the Muppet Show. Yet.
