Beginner Game World? Surely Not...

Okay, so officially Altobelli is classified as a "beginner game world," which basically means that users have to have a brand new account to enter. Ideally, this means we see a game world full of real beginners, who can get used to the game without the hassle of dubious transfers, double your money competitions and veteran managers hammering them mercilessly.

In reality, I see a Lobby chat full of managers reminiscing good times in other Game Worlds, openly discussing Double Your Money competitions and slating people using 4-5-1 tactics. Sure, we have a bunch of genuine new users, but they are being thrown off by the amount of dodgy deals going on.

Apparently, lots of people seem to think that in a beginner Game World, SI and SEGA have appointed beginner moderators, so we're seeing all the dirty tricks in the book. Same IP deals all over the place, deliberately ignoring requests to have transfers validated and genuinely thinking us mods are retarded. I mean, who in their right mind would swap Luca Toni for Kevin Kyle? Who would? Exactly, no-one...

So yeah, not exactly a Game World full of beginners... Within a week of starting, there are already offers for the likes of Ballotelli, who has an 850k acquisition fee, or Miralem Pjanic, on a similar fee. Doesn't really sound like anything a beginner would do, wouldn't you agree?

Regarding youths, things aren't much better... All the 300 quid wage youngsters were gone within hours, as obviously these are the guys who probably have the best chance of being high potential youngsters. Yesterday, I saw newgen players go for over 10k wages... Within the first week of a Game World...

To be fair, I am being a bit of a hypocrit here... I myself am not really a beginner, with over 12 seasons of experience in Miller under my belt... On the other hand, moderators are prohibited from signing any players within the first 24 hours of a Game World opening and I am actively going down the youth path, so I'm hardly doing anything with my knowledge in terms of exploiting others or dominating the rankings.

The point I want to make is this. Don't call these Game Worlds beginner worlds, because they clearly aren't. Half of the guys in the world are clearly not beginners, but experienced or even veteran managers taking a new subscription out to try and dominate the Game World with their already acquired skills.
