Better Boxing?
I have read some discussion about the horrors of minmaxing in the box. I agree that the situation can seem bad for some.
Still, for you and me, I propose a better and more feasible approach to minmaxing woe than petitioning on the forum: Lets make tougher low TV teams and beat the minmaxers in their own game!
I have personally made 3 teams to battle in the low end of TV: Nations (Amazon 1000k), Metals (Chaos Dwarf 850k) and Bargain Prices (Amazon 650k).
With those teams, my intentions are the following:
A) Provide games to the low TV end. I activate those teams almost always to see if there are teams on similar TV. This adds potential games to the system.
B) Make the fish in the kid end of the pool tougher. I believe this will reduce the beneficiality of noob hunting as the games in that sweet spot go harder.
I propose you:
1) Make new teams to 900k- and 700k- ranges and activate them regularly. This will provide more games to the system on the low end of TV.
2) When making a new team, think about what your purchases will give to the opponent. You do not have to spend the whole 1000k to get games - there are now opponents for your beefier starting team. Money in the bank does not affect your TV. Make your TV count!
See you on the Black Box! Game on!

Problem: teams with TV lower than 900 struggle to get paired.

Is this a joke?
Are you saying that we should create more min/max teams?

Uuh. I get that you don't get this.
Well, basically I just propose that when you make a new team, aim lower than full 1000k. Make a 910k team for example. That way, the opponents have less to minmax.
Most of the things in the original roster is less useful than SPPs / skills. If you buy less that starting stuff, your skills/stuff ratio is higher faster.
This way your starting matches are more equal.
@MattDakka: When people activate regularly 900k teams, you can get games at around 800k still. I agree this takes a group effort, so future remains to be seen.
Still, this is something *you* can do *now*. Petitioning box and moaning on forums does not get you as much. Be constructive, make the changes you need in your self!

The problem with this 'fix' is that YOU are now the problem. ;)
The more people that do this the worse the problem gets.

So, people are complaining that there are too many minmaxers in the [B]ox, who play only a select range of races especially suited to minmaxing, which makes [B] kind of dull and lets you face off against the same races over and over, and your solution is to suggest that everybody play these races even more, so that even more minmaxing teams are around?
That's a... unique way of thinking...

I understand, but I think this is different.
boruppeter: "...minmaxing, which makes [B] kind of dull and lets you face off against the same races over and over..."
I think my approach lacks the "face off against the same races over and over" -part.
I propose changing the team life span from its current 1000k->1500k->2000k->1500k->2000k to 800k->1500k->2000k->1500k->2000k. That is different than proposing everyone to play 1000k->1000k.
I just propose changing your starting point to lower TV to make the rookie team hunting more difficult. Anyone can lower their TV to 900k currently. In future, with this sort of change, they can lower their starting TV to 800 or lower.
This will just reduce the overhead in the teams that currently are around 1000k. That overhead is the incentive to 1000k hunting. The lower TV we can put 0spp teams, the less their overhead becomes.

totally unreal ! simple way to stop coaches like u is to set the scheduler so that team that have played over say 15 games cant play teams that have played under 5 games ! that way the min max pixels can face each other and also new teams wont have there fun killed by coaches like u^^
your mind must be a wonderful place if you really think what u do is ok lol
