I know I&#039;m apparently the only one that thinks this out loud but I&#039;m happy to see the players that seem to not have fun in the IDL over the past few seasons finally leave. I&#039;d much rather play and build up newer players than have to keep listening to the same blow hards or have people who start leaving mid season. I love having veteran players back but if they are going to be detrimental to the league by negatively affecting it through actions (signing up and not showing for your squad after two weeks, captaining a team and pretty much up and abandoning it a few weeks in, etc) then I&#039;d rather they just buzz off and enjoy their league retirement.<br /><br />As far as losing a lot of &quot;important&quot; players moving to Odamex, the only important player I really think that the community lost was Ladna who hadn&#039;t even really played in the league while it was on ZDaemon in the final seasons so it was more of a loss of a very intelligent, contributing community member rather than just another &quot;important&quot; player. Even then, Ladna definitely didn&#039;t want to play on ZDaemon either so I have to wonder exactly how important these other people truly were.<br /><br />It&#039;s ok for people that have been playing for years to leave and new people to get a chance to occupy roster spots and get their shot. Plenty of veterans who [i]actually want to play[/i] have returned this season along with many new signups. This is one of the most diverse IDL free agencies of all time in terms of geography and skill levels. I&#039;m excited for this season.
