I think at its core this is a reasonable enough suggestion.

I agree the numbers offered by OP are asking a lot from the devs (not the fiscals btw), but I can see the underlying point of the suggestion and don't believe it has been given the respect it is due by everyone here, if we respect what is meant by a suggestion. The game runs not just on GB sales but also on advertising and promoters, who would like to see people stick around for the duration.

I also agree there are some here who will only be happy when the game is entirely free, which, given the lack of a suitable replacement revenue stream plan often missing with such suggestions, cannot be feasible. However, I do think there can be some logic in giving a sample of the good GB life based on the duration for which you've played the game. There are many solely mobile users, and we all know how difficult it is to win promotion after Div 6 using just a mobile, so for many of them, after any promotion from Div 6 the GBs dry up. I'm not suggesting the GBs be used to 'help' the managers, but rather as an ecouragement to a) keep playing and b) consider buying GB to get ahead in the game. I would argue that a modest, time-based reward could be an idea in encouraging some of them to spend more once they see how useful it can be to find good juniors or upgrade the coaching staff. It would need to be sufficiently small so as you could not live for free on it, nor could it be too detrimental to those who buy anyway so as to cannibalize existing sales, like a tiny sample in a supermarket.

I'm not talking of giving away big bucks. Anyone who proposes an idea with numbers is going to be slated whatever. "Too high" or "Too low" will be the cries from varous factions of those here. Still, I will try:

- I propose 50GB to be gifted when a manager comes of age at 8000exp points, to encourage the use of GB search.
- I then propose 50GB to be gifted every calendar year after the manager's start date. This may even deter multi accounts and others who try to cheat, who knows.
- Finally, I propose that the gifting of free GB from the game be on the basis of receiving no sanctions from the @s whatsoever in the given calendar year period described in the previous point.

There, that's my suggestion. I think I've been fair and respectful to all parties, and opened a discussion on resonable grounds, but let's see what I get back
