Its still a game.
and like any other game, the more you play the bigger advantage you have ..
if you have alot of money, that means you have bin around for a long time.
how fast you get there is up to you. if you have the money you can still just bid 1M in the first bid.
The more time you put into a game, the further you get.
a new player can still get good players if they have the patience and put in the effort it takes.
It favor too much rich players compared to others. We already have the richest players full of star players, people creating team and selling their star players support on the market 1 day after, I doubt we need an afk bid now.
