I am looking forward to the next roster sale, but I do think this is an interesting topic so I wanted to add my 2 cents…
I completely agree with the idea that if I view my hp management as a competitive advantage and/or skill that sets me apart from my competitors then it totally makes sense for me to be against a roster slot sale. For those that want to go the economics route…I’ll avoid the details and point you to game theory concepts where I am relatively better off vs others even when we collectively are worse off. This game is a competition, so in this scenario I believe i “win” by not having the sale.
Coincidentally, I feel one of my edges is my patience to wait for things like roster slot sales and then go all in, so I haven’t paid full price on a slot in years.
