Just a little praise I think OML needs

The FTA problem is on our radar. We're still trying to find time to fix the analytics for the server data (our current analytics don't work for such a large user base), while simultaneously adding and balancing a new team. Once we run the numbers, if we discover it is in fact a huge problem, we'll look at solutions. I know it's slower than most people would like, but there are only two of us, and of those two, only one that can actually do any of that.

Thanks for the reply Adam, and for creating a great game.

But is there a need to spend some of your limited time and resources analyzing mountains of league data to verify what is obvious - that FTA exists and is very big? Every high level player can confirm this.

It's frustrating to hear that you want to fix the analytics to verify that it is an issue before even looking at it, despite the evidence and what players have told you.

The World Cup tournament alone has enough games to be statistically valid. Whether it's 2:1 or 3:1, it's a big issue.

For comparison, Hero Academy's FTA was about 1.5:1 before it was fixed.

And it takes very little time or resources to allow us to test a mathematically correct balance of 3 additional wits for P2, which will be a big leap in balance.

That said, Harti did say he brought it up on the internal forums and he hopes you and Alex will allow the beta testers to test it next month.
