You can earn thousands of packs just watching streamers and figure each pack is worth 1000 points on the average. That's over 3000 packs in a year and 3 million points. You can win thousands more packs in quick tournaments leading to millions more points.

If you want to be like the cheaters, go ahead, no one will stop you.
Now I haven't done the drop back a level since it seems to be an unspoken rule and upsetting to some.

This said I personally think paying to play and streamer codes are worse than going back and forth between leagues. At least going back and forth between the leagues is someone that takes the time in game, to improve what they have, and not going outside the game perimeters of the game to win.

Michael Jordan didn't become one of the greatest because he spent a bunch of money, or somehow got a code by spending a minute a day logging into a stream to get a code to improve his skills. He played, and played. Sometimes he played against the best, sometimes he took a step back and played against lesser competition to test things out to enhance his skills. But he stuck to the game itself.

Just playing devils advocate here....

Now in the eyes of OOTP its not against the rules to do either. It is encouraged, but from a competitive standpoint for the game it becomes less about the skill of the game, and more about who has the most money, or who watches a streamer (I'm sure there are some people who have their friends tell them the code, or simply look the code up online from someone who posted it).

Now that all said, I'm not saying either of those are wrong or that the game needs to change. OOTP has a great thing going on. But the thought that someone is called a cheater taking the time to go between leagues to help them gain their packs, to enhancer their team to move up to higher rankings, is interesting to me, when a bunch of people gain their packs without needed to spend that much time in the game itself seems head scratching.

I'm not trying to call any of them cheaters, just more of a response to your last response. Its all just a game, the way I see it none of the three I stated is breaking the rules (cheating), since there is nothing that stops it from happening.
